Italian-Designed Stoneware Tiles with Cross-Cut Travertine Elegance
Drawing inspiration from the rich textures of cross-cut travertine, our Stoneline collection showcases the intricate beauty of this ancient sedimentary stone. Renowned for its layers and swirls of amalgamated rock materials, travertine features a unique veining and stratification that develop over millennia.
By purposefully featuring the look of cross-cut stone, this porcelain stoneware highlights travertine’s elegant, less uniform aspects. When installed, the tiles create a sophisticated harmony of texture and flow that enhance a variety of living and commercial spaces.
Designed in Italy by the esteemed tile makers at Ragno, our Stoneline collection is stocked and available in the US. This collection features delicate colors and intricately detailed surface patterns, enhancing its versatility for both traditional and contemporary design styles.
The tiles’ adaptability shines when paired with diverse materials, such as colorful elements and wood, allowing for creative and cohesive interior expressions.
The Stoneline Collection at Rubble Tile
The collection consists of rectified tiles in two sizes, four colors, and two finishes. The palette of Beige, Dark Grey, Light Grey, and White, is neutral enough to use with most colors and materials. At the same time the natural variations in each color’s shade and texture are featured in incredibly organic detail.
The Natural finish has a matte look and feel, while the Linear finish has the same effect as a brushed stone tile, where lines etched into the stone create a stylish pattern that works both horizontally and vertically.
The Natural finish comes in 12 x 24 inch and the architectural 24 x 48 inch sizes, allowing for modular pattern designs that work well in larger commercial spaces. The Linear finish comes in the smaller 12 x 24 inch size.
Rectified Stone-Look Porcelain Tile
Stoneline tiles feature rectified edges, precisely cut to exact measurements to achieve 90-degree angles. This precision allows for tighter grout lines, promoting a sleeker and cleaner aesthetic, which makes Stoneline an attractive choice for both contemporary residential and commercial projects.
Crafted from high-fired porcelain, these tiles possess the requisite hardness to support rectification—a quality unattainable with the softer natural travertine. This enhances both the functionality and the visual appeal of the Stoneline collection, offering durable and elegant tiling solutions.
Advantages of Porcelain Tile
Natural travertine, whether vein-cut or cross-cut, adds a warm, organic flow to any space with its stunning appearance. However, it is susceptible to scratches and stains from oils, acids, and hard water. In contrast, porcelain tiles offer resilience against everyday use, and can even withstand floods and fire. Their durability makes them ideal for areas with heavy foot traffic that could damage softer stones like marble and travertine.
Porcelain stoneware tiles also offer lower maintenance requirements, easier cleaning, and cost-effectiveness, making them a budget-friendly choice that fits seamlessly into the scope of your project.
