Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Ca'Pietra Plastercraft porcelain tiles suitable for floors?

No. The Plastercraft collection is specifically manufactured and designed exclusively for interior wall applications. The deeply textured plaster effect and overall thickness mean they are not suited for the heavy foot traffic or structural demands of residential floors.

Can I use the Plastercraft collection in a shower or wet room?

Absolutely. The non-porous porcelain body makes the entire Plastercraft collection naturally moisture-resistant. They will not be damaged by steam, humidity, or direct water contact, making them a highly practical and striking choice for feature walls inside shower enclosures and wet rooms.

Do these plaster-effect tiles require sealing?

No. Unlike genuine raw plaster which requires intensive sealing to protect it from moisture and stains, the Plastercraft tiles are made from glazed porcelain. They act as a permanent barrier and require absolutely no specialist sealing treatments before or after installation.

Will the textured surface collect dirt?

While the surface authentically recreates the look of rough plaster, it is a sealed, high-quality porcelain surface, making it far easier to maintain than actual plasterwork. The subtle texture is designed to prevent significant dirt build-up, and occasional dusting or wiping with a soft, damp cloth is all that is needed to keep it looking pristine.

How do I install these large-format tiles?

Because the tiles are a grand 60x120cm with precision rectified edges, they allow for very narrow grout lines (typically 2mm), creating a seamless, uncluttered appearance. It is highly recommended to use a professional tiler experienced with large-format porcelain to ensure the wall is perfectly flat and the tiles are securely fixed.

1970s Plaster Inspiration

The Ca'Pietra Plastercraft porcelain collection serves as a sophisticated tribute to the rough, hand-crafted plaster finishes that defined mid-century and 1970s interior design. Featuring an intricately textured surface complete with subtle irregularities and trowel marks, these tiles capture the organic, artisanal appearance of traditional plastering techniques. This introduces immediate warmth, architectural interest, and tactile depth to any room without overwhelming the space.

Versatile Tones and Textures

To ensure a perfect match for your interior scheme, the Plastercraft collection offers two beautifully curated styles: Calco and Linea Mano. The Calco range provides a slightly more rustic feel in the gentle, earthy tones of Cipria and Sabbia, while the Linea Mano offers subtle, linear relief in the sophisticated shades of Ecru and Mink. These neutral, highly versatile palettes act as a stunning, textured canvas that pairs beautifully with both minimalist contemporary furniture and period property renovations.

Durable Porcelain Practicality

While authentic decorative plaster is notoriously porous, fragile, and difficult to clean, the Plastercraft collection provides the exact same visual impact using high-density, modern porcelain. These impressive 60x120cm tiles are completely resistant to moisture, everyday stains, and humidity. This makes them a phenomenally practical and stylish choice for demanding wet environments—allowing you to create a spa-like sanctuary in your bathroom with zero maintenance required.
