Pure Simplicity: Sorrento White

Embrace the beauty of understated design with Sorrento White—a 30x30cm porcelain tile that combines a soft, chalky aesthetic with the high-performance durability of modern ceramic.

Part of the sophisticated Sorrento collection, this tile offers the **matt, tactile finish** of a traditional encaustic cement tile but requires none of the specialist maintenance. Its clean, neutral white tone creates a sense of light and space, making it perfect for minimalist bathrooms or Scandinavian-inspired kitchens. For a more dramatic, heritage look, pair it with the **Sorrento Black** tile to create a classic **Victorian-style checkerboard** floor. Crafted from robust porcelain, it is suitable for everything from wet room floors to frost-proof outdoor patios.

⚠️ Installation & Care Tips

  • No Sealing Required: Sorrento White is made of glazed porcelain, which is non-porous. Unlike the cement tiles it mimics, it requires zero sealing, making it exceptionally easy to maintain.
  • Grout Colour: We recommend a White or Silver Grey grout (like Mapei 100 White or 110 Manhattan) to keep the floor looking bright and seamless. Avoid dark grouts unless you specifically want to highlight the grid pattern.
  • Layouts: This tile is perfectly modular with Sorrento Black. Plan your layout carefully to ensure cuts are symmetrical at the edges of the room for a professional finish.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a cement or porcelain tile?

The Sorrento White is made of high-quality glazed porcelain. It is designed to mimic the matt, chalky finish of a traditional encaustic cement tile but is much harder wearing, waterproof, and doesn't require sealing.

Can I mix it with Sorrento Black?

Yes! The Sorrento White and Sorrento Black tiles are designed to be perfectly compatible. They are the exact same size and thickness, making them ideal for creating classic checkerboard or striped floor patterns.

Does it need sealing?

No. Unlike natural stone or cement tiles, this porcelain tile is non-porous. It does not need to be sealed, which makes it resistant to staining from spills, shampoo, or dirt.

Can I use it outdoors?

Yes. Because it is frost-proof porcelain, Sorrento White is suitable for external use. It is a fantastic choice for a modern garden patio or porch, offering a durable surface that won't fade or crack in the frost.
