RANGE REVIEW: TILES & TILING


Independent tile specialist Porcelain Superstore has launched a new floor tile collection that celebrates the subtle beauty of the brutalist movement.


B BARBICAN


arbican, which is available in two colours, brings together the flair of terrazzo and the starkness of


concrete in a large format, rectified porcelain tile.


Cool and contemporary, the range


takes it name from the brutalist architecture of the Barbican estate in London. Abbas


Youssefi, Director


of Porcelain Superstore, says: “Barbican possesses a subtle beauty. While it might not be as showy as some of its contemporaries, there is an understated elegance which will transform any room in which it is used.”


Whether you’re planning a kitchen revamp or a total refurb, why not harness the dramatic potential of these supreme floor tiles? A sophisticated combination of polished concrete and terrazzo, they’re proof that floors can be both


neutral and vivid at the same time. The coloured micro flecks add depth and texture, giving your room a new dimension that always catches the eye. The perfect choice


for modern kitchens, extensions and open rooms. Made from rectified porcelain and available in a large format slab size, Barbican tiles are the last word in


cool, contemporary design. Subtle yet remarkably characterful, these beautiful floor tiles will easily work in any interior. With colouring that sits somewhere between beige and grey, they will inject any home with warmth and vitality, according to Porcelain Superstore. A modern take on terrazzo, their coloured micro flecks offer a more interesting and eye-catching alternative to minimal tiling. It’s a look that’s thoroughly contemporary - and most importantly, easy to live with too. In large format size, Barbican


Sand is highly adaptable. These tiles will happily sit as a neutral base for a glossy kitchen or family room. They’re also ideal for larger open rooms, as there’s plenty of movement and design to add interest and catch the eye. Barbican comes in two finishes: Light Grey and Sand.
