Industrial Geometry: Urban Axel

Inject contemporary edge into your home with Urban Axel—a 20x20cm porcelain tile that fuses classic geometric patterns with a raw, industrial aesthetic.

Part of the acclaimed 'Urban' collection inspired by the creativity of Spanish street artists, the Urban Axel tile stands out with its bold, interlacing geometric design. Rendered in cool, moody tones, it mimics the weathered texture of urban concrete while maintaining the sharp definition of a premium tile.

⚠️ Installation & Care Tips

  • No Sealing Required: Urban Axel is made of high-quality glazed porcelain, which is non-porous. It requires zero sealing, making it a low-maintenance choice for modern homes.
  • Mix & Match: This patterned tile pairs beautifully with the plain tiles in the Urban range (like Urban Grey or Charcoal). Use the plain tiles to create a border around the Axel pattern for a sophisticated finish.
  • Grout Colour: We recommend a Medium Grey or Manhattan grout to blend with the industrial tones of the design and keep the maintenance low.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

Is this tile suitable for outdoors?

Yes! Urban Axel is a frost-proof porcelain tile with a specialized R10 anti-slip finish. It is perfect for garden patios, pathways, or balconies, allowing you to create a seamless transition from your kitchen to your outdoor space.

Is it safe for wet rooms?

Absolutely. The tile is designed with safety in mind, making it ideal for wet room floors, walk-in showers, and swimming pool surrounds where slip resistance is essential.

Does it look like real cement?

Yes, it is designed to mimic the matt, tactile finish and industrial aesthetic of traditional cement tiles. However, because it is porcelain, it won't stain, fade, or require the sealing that cement tiles do.
