Stria Textured Porcelain Collection

Stria Textured Porcelain Tile Collection

The Stria Textured Porcelain Collection celebrates subtle texture, natural movement, and the quiet beauty of artisan plaster. Each tile features a softly striated, hand-troweled surface effect that adds depth, warmth, and visual softness while offering the durability and low maintenance of glazed porcelain.

Designed for architects, designers, builders, and homeowners seeking an organic yet contemporary tile surface, Stria is ideal for kitchen backsplashes, bathroom walls, shower walls, floors, fireplaces, feature walls, mudrooms, laundry rooms, retail interiors, hospitality spaces, and boutique commercial projects.

Installation Notes

Stria is a glazed porcelain tile collection suitable for many floor, wall, wet-area, and commercial applications when installed properly. A qualified installer should confirm substrate preparation, waterproofing, mortar, grout, movement joints, layout, and slip-resistance requirements before installation.

• Order 10–15% extra material for cuts, layout adjustment, pattern alignment, waste, and future repairs.
• Inspect and dry-lay material before installation to confirm color, shade movement, texture direction, finish, and layout.
• Use setting materials appropriate for porcelain tile and the installation area.
• For shower walls, wet areas, bathroom floors, and commercial floors, confirm slip resistance, waterproofing, substrate preparation, grout, and maintenance requirements with your installer.
• Choose grout color carefully, as grout tone can affect the final appearance of striated porcelain tile.
• Confirm layout direction before installation, especially for herringbone, stacked, checkerboard, or directional striated layouts.
