Product details

Product story

Discover Plastercraft Calco Sabbia 60 x 120cm porcelain wall tiles, inspired by the rough plastering style of the 70s. These mid-century chic textured wall tiles are perfect for creating a stylish feature wall that brings authentic vintage character to contemporary interiors.

Why Choose Plastercraft Calco Sabbia Textured Wall Tiles?

Part of our prestigious Plastercraft collection, these large-format porcelain tiles authentically recreate the distinctive rough plaster finishes popularised in 1970s interior design. The textured surface captures the organic, hand-crafted appearance of traditional plastering techniques, complete with subtle irregularities and trowel marks that add depth and character.

At 60 x 120cm, these generously sized tiles create a bold, contemporary statement while minimising grout lines for a cleaner, more sophisticated look. The mid-century aesthetic works beautifully in both period property renovations and modern homes seeking to inject retro charm and tactile interest into their spaces.

Unlike actual plaster, these porcelain tiles offer superior durability, easy maintenance, and resistance to moisture—giving you the authentic vintage look without the practical drawbacks of genuine plasterwork.

Perfect For These Spaces

Living Room Feature Walls

Create a stunning focal point behind your sofa, around a fireplace, or as a media wall backdrop. The textured plaster effect adds architectural interest and depth, while the neutral tones provide a sophisticated canvas for your furniture and artwork. The 70s-inspired finish brings warmth and character to minimalist or Scandinavian-style interiors.

Bedroom Accent Walls

Transform your bedroom with a statement headboard wall that exudes mid-century elegance. The subtle texture creates visual interest without overwhelming the space, while the large tile format ensures a seamless, uncluttered appearance. Perfect for creating a boutique hotel aesthetic in your own home.

Hallways & Entrance Areas

Make a memorable first impression with a textured plaster-effect wall in your hallway or entrance. The durable porcelain surface stands up to daily traffic while adding instant sophistication. The vintage-inspired finish brings character to often-overlooked transitional spaces.

Bathrooms & Wet Rooms

Suitable for bathroom walls where you want to add texture and visual interest. The porcelain material is naturally moisture-resistant, making it ideal for areas that need both style and practicality. Create a spa-like sanctuary with the organic, tactile quality of textured plaster.

Commercial Interiors

Perfect for restaurants, cafés, boutique hotels, retail spaces, and offices seeking to create an on-trend, Instagram-worthy aesthetic. The 70s revival style resonates with contemporary design trends while offering commercial-grade durability.

Installation & Care

Installation Requirements

  • Large-format tiles (60 x 120cm) require professional installation for best results
  • Use high-quality tile adhesive suitable for large-format porcelain
  • Ensure walls are perfectly flat, clean, and properly prepared
  • Use tile levelling systems to maintain consistent alignment
  • Suitable for interior walls in dry and wet areas
  • Not recommended for floors due to large format
  • Minimum grout joint: 3mm recommended

Easy Maintenance

Porcelain tiles are incredibly easy to maintain. Simply wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent for routine cleaning. The textured surface may collect dust in crevices—use a soft brush or vacuum with brush attachment occasionally. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface finish. These tiles are stain-resistant, moisture-resistant, and will maintain their appearance for decades with minimal care.

Cutting & Handling

Due to their large size, these tiles require a professional tile cutter or wet saw. Handle with care to avoid chipping edges. We recommend ordering 10% extra to account for cuts, adjustments, and potential breakage during installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can these tiles be used in bathrooms?

Yes! These porcelain tiles are suitable for bathroom walls, including shower areas. The material is naturally moisture-resistant and won't be damaged by steam or humidity. However, they're designed for wall use only, not floors.

How many tiles do I need for a feature wall?

Each tile covers 0.72m² (60cm x 120cm). Measure your wall area in square metres and divide by 0.72 to calculate the number of tiles needed. Add 10% for cuts and wastage. Our team can help with calculations—just contact us with your wall dimensions.

Are these tiles suitable for DIY installation?

Due to their large format (60 x 120cm), we recommend professional installation. Large tiles require specialized tools, levelling systems, and experience to achieve perfect alignment. If you're an experienced DIY tiler, ensure you have the proper equipment and follow manufacturer guidelines carefully.

What is the texture like—will it collect dirt?

The textured surface authentically recreates rough plaster but is sealed porcelain, making it far easier to maintain than actual plaster. The texture is subtle enough that it won't trap significant dirt, and occasional brushing or vacuuming keeps it looking pristine.

Can I order a sample before buying?

Yes! We offer free cut samples so you can see and feel the authentic textured finish and colour in your own home before committing to your full order. This is especially helpful for large-format tiles where you want to ensure they suit your space.
