Historic Charm: Chiesa Black Porcelain

Capture the soul of an Italian cathedral in your own home with the Chiesa Black Tile—a masterful porcelain replica of ancient, time-worn stone floors.

Meaning "Church" in Italian, the **Chiesa** collection adds a rustic, lived-in twist to the classic black stone floor. Unlike pristine polished tiles, Chiesa Black features a "scratched and worn" graphic that authentically mimics the patina of centuries-old stone walked upon by thousands of feet. This tactile impression of history is combined with the modern benefits of **porcelain**, giving you a floor that looks ancient but performs perfectly in busy family kitchens, wet rooms, and even outdoor terraces.

🔥 Rustic Hearths

Suitable for use as a hearth (30cm from heat source), the worn graphic hides ash and soot marks while adding an authentic, aged feel to log burners and inglenooks. View wall tiles.

⚠️ Installation & Care Tips

  • No Sealing Needed: This is a high-quality porcelain product. Despite its aged appearance, it is non-porous and requires **no sealing**.
  • Grout Colour: We recommend a **Dark Grey** or **Charcoal** grout to blend with the worn edges, or a contrasting **Light Grey** to highlight the grid pattern. A 2-3mm grout joint is recommended.
  • Underfloor Heating: Porcelain is an excellent thermal conductor, making this perfect for use with underfloor heating systems to keep your "stone" floor warm underfoot.
  • External Use: This tile is frost-resistant and suitable for outdoor use. Ensure it is laid on a solid concrete base with flexible exterior adhesive.
