Statement Strength: Milan Lauro Porcelain

Make a bold architectural statement with the Milan Lauro Porcelain Tile—a superior, full-body unglazed tile that marries dramatic colour with extreme durability.

Crafted in **Portugal**, the Milan collection is engineered for performance. The **Lauros** colourway is a striking, deep blue that adds instant depth and character to any space. Unlike standard glazed tiles where the colour sits on top, this is a **full-body unglazed porcelain**, meaning the rich blue pigment runs through the entire thickness of the tile. This makes it virtually indestructible—impervious to heavy foot traffic, chips, frost, and chemicals—perfect for everything from commercial showrooms to residential wet rooms.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

How dark is "Lauro" Blue?

Lauro is a rich, dramatic blue, distinct from the lighter "Bossi" and the mid-tone "Gorani". It provides a bold colour statement while retaining a sophisticated, matt finish.

What is "Full Body" porcelain?

Full body means the pigment runs through the entire thickness of the tile. If you chip it, the colour underneath is the same as the top, making chips invisible. This is superior to glazed tiles where the colour is only on the surface.

Can I use this tile outside?

Yes! Milan Lauro is frost-proof and non-porous, making it perfect for patios and balconies. It is also UV resistant so the deep blue colour won't fade.

Is it slippery?

It has an R9 Slip Rating, which is suitable for most internal and external areas. It provides a good balance of grip and ease of cleaning.

Does it need sealing?

No. Unlike natural stone, this unglazed porcelain is non-porous and resistant to staining. It requires no sealing.

Why buy from Hyperion Tiles?
