A Taste of France: Patisserie Blanco

Capture the timeless charm of Parisian boutiques and bustling bistros with the Patisserie Blanco Porcelain Base Tile—a robust 20x20cm square tile designed for life’s busiest spaces.

Inspired by the classic ceramics found in French shop fronts and bakeries, this "Blanco" (White) base tile offers a clean, neutral foundation for any room. Unlike traditional cement tiles which can be porous and demanding, Patisserie is crafted from **high-quality porcelain**. This means you get the authentic, matte aesthetic of a heritage floor with the **exceptional durability** and stain resistance of modern engineering. It is specifically designed to withstand heavy foot traffic, making it an effortless choice for hallways, kitchens, and boot rooms.

⚠️ Installation & Care Tips

  • No Sealing Needed: Unlike real encaustic cement tiles, these porcelain tiles do not require sealing, making installation faster and cheaper.
  • Grout Width: We recommend a 3mm grout joint to accommodate the moderate variation in the tile and maintain the authentic look.
  • Batch Matching: If mixing these base tiles with the decorative 'Patisserie' tiles (e.g., Sucre or Hevin), please be aware that slight colour variations may occur due to different production methods. Always dry lay your tiles first to blend them.
  • Grout Colour: A Medium Grey or Charcoal grout works beautifully to define the grid pattern and is practical for high-traffic floors.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

Does this tile need sealing?

No. Unlike traditional cement (encaustic) tiles which are porous, the Patisserie collection is made from high-quality porcelain. It is non-porous and requires no sealing, making it a low-maintenance option for busy homes.

Is it suitable for a hallway?

Yes, absolutely. It is rated for use in areas with "heavy foot traffic." Porcelain is incredibly hard-wearing and resistant to scratches, moisture, and dirt, making it the ideal choice for entrance halls.

Can I use it with underfloor heating?

Yes. Porcelain is a great conductor of heat and is fully compatible with electric and water-based underfloor heating systems.

Does it match the patterned tiles in the range?

Yes, it is designed to coordinate with the Patisserie decorative tiles (like Sucre or Hevin). However, please note that slight variations in colour tone may occur between the plain base tiles and the decorated versions due to different manufacturing processes.
