Saxum

Saxum by Casalgrande Padana: sensual beauty in porcelain stoneware

Inspired by the sun, sculpted by the wind and shaped by the water. A porcelain tile collection that embodies ancient memories, weaving them together into a new material language that brings surfaces to life. Random veining, delicate earthy and sandy shades, greys and neutral hues and tones with a modern, natural design blend with the imperfections left by the passage of time, revealing all the charm of a material that has accompanied humankind through the ages. 

These modern tiles combine the ancient beauty of stone with the impressive qualities of porcelain stoneware, for a versatile collection that highlights the pleasing texture of the material of inspiration.

Saxum is available in five colours (Antracite, Beige, Bianco, Grigio and Perla), with a thickness of 9 mm in the sizes 120x120 cm and 60x120 cm, and with an R10 natural surface, or a silk surface for a pleasant, aged effect. In the sizes 60x60 cm and 30x60 cm, it is available in a natural finish. 

The new collection is also available in an outdoor version, with a thickness of 20 mm and an anti-slip Grip surface, in all the collection colours in the sizes 60x120 cm and 60x60 cm. In the colours Beige and Perla, a 120x120 cm outdoor version is also available.

The range is completed with the 30x30 cm mosaic tiles, composed of 5x5 cm or 5x15 cm tesserae, and a tumbled mosaic tile, available with a natural surface in all the colours in the collection. 

A combination of superb technical performance and the 20mm-thick anti-slip option for outdoor areas make the tiles in the new Saxum collection both stylish and versatile. They can be either laid on screed using glue, ensuring high load resistance, or dry-laid on sand, gravel, or turf. In this case, they can be walked on immediately, allowing you to create attractive spaces with a smooth transition from indoor to outdoor areas. The stoneware tiles in the Saxum collection are perfectly squared and rectified, making them the ideal flooring choice also for terraces, patios, verandas and walkways, as well as for tiling swimming pools. They are perfect for bringing a natural look to outdoor areas, making them both practical and attractive. 

Versatile, adaptable and with superb performance, the tiles in this new Casalgrande Padana collection can also be used in endless creative ways to tile walls, partitions, worktops and bathrooms, for a home spa look featuring walk-in showers or bathtubs that look as if they were carved from natural stone, allowing you to put your own personal stamp on living spaces. Ideal for both floors and walls, indoors and outdoors, these tiles can be used everywhere from homes to larger-scale public or commercial design projects. They are suitable for all kinds of climates and settings. The new Saxum collection offers multiple combinations for all kinds of décor styles, bringing a fresh, original look to any environment.
