Introducing Tacora InOut | A Quietly Luxe Addition to Italtile's Eco-chic Wood Collection

April 3, 2024

The wonderful thing about wood, apart from its innate classiness, and its endless variation of grain, texture, and tone, is its ability to add welcoming warmth to any living space, from hardworking commercial environments to relaxed residential spaces. The ‘Quiet Luxury’ of high-end, durable wood look porcelain tiles will always be on trend. Because it’s a much sought-after aesthetic, a home with wood look-look tiles will hold its value, making it an attractive proposition come the day that one puts one’s property on the market. All excellent reasons for Italtile to continue the expansion of its beautifully diverse, highly expressive, eco-chic wood look tile collection.

New Tacora INOUT, Italtile’s latest addition, hails from Spain – arguably the home of relaxed luxe style – and is manufactured by sustainable tile specialists STN Ceramica.

New Tacora INOUT, in honeyed, mid-tone Camel and weather-bleached White, is a 230 x 1200mm matt porcelain floor tile, 9.7mm thick, with machine-cut rectified edges for precision installation. A rectified tile offers consistent dimensions for a perfect finish every time, when laid, with minimal grout lines – around 1.5mm or less. The effect created is a seamless, sleek floorspace. The range offers 17 different faces, which equates to a fairly high level of graphic variation for an authentic wood look.

With STN Ceramica’s signature INOUT technology, the Tacora range is the perfect choice for use from the inside to the outside. INOUT technology creates a beautifully velvety tile surface with a natural warmth underfoot when dry, that offers remarkable grip in the wet. Unlike traditional slip-resistant tiles which offer a rough finish with random abrasive granules (difficult to maintain and keep clean), an INOUT tile is given a coating of uniformly sized microscopic granules, which, once fired, offers the smooth, warm, velvety INOUT experience as well as outstanding slip resistance in wet conditions. This makes Tacora INOUT, with its R10 rating, range an ideal choice for kitchens, bathrooms and outdoor areas. Safe and super-easy to maintain.

As with all Italtile’s STN Ceramica tiles, the eco-chic Tacora INOUT range is exclusive to Italtile and will carry Italtile’s coveted LiveGreen label, thanks to its impressive sustainable credentials.
