Stone wall tiles

One of the toughest challenges in the research and development of new products is combining aesthetics with function. A well thought-out architectural or interior design project cannot bypass creative and planning insight or the careful selection of the most suitable materials for the design in question. GranitiFiandre gets it right and presents Core Shade, an integrated and versatile system capable of offering the broadest range of applications and enhancing any aesthetic sensitivity. The broad choice of formats, thicknesses and finishes guarantees aesthetic continuity in your surroundings, without compromising guaranteed specific benefits of resistance, anti-slip and cleanness. The colour palette comes in six basic and material tones: from the natural whiteness of Plain Core to the intense austerity of Sharp Core, without forgoing intermediate earth tones such as Fawn and Snug Core as well as the more subtle tones of Cloudy and Ashy Core.


Core Shade is the outcome of GranitiFiandre’s never-ending technological evolution. More than just a collection, this is a veritable system for integrating colours, formats, finishes and thicknesses in various combinations. The largest formats, such as 150x75 and 75x75, have a semi-polished finish, while more traditional formats, such as 120x60, 60x60 and 60x30, are also available in a textured version. The semi-polished finish, which is versatile and always modern, is characterised by a harmonious and material aesthetic; the textured finish is furrowed by a pleasingly lined pattern for tactile, visual depth as well as useful anti-slip properties. Lastly, Core Shade helps maximise the product’s performance in the most varied applications thanks to the options ranging between 8 and 11 mm of thickness.
