A porcelain expression of industrial style concrete

Every now and then a new product arrives on the market that generates a collective gasp of delight. A product that doesn’t just meet existing market trends, but sets new ones. Lab Metal Ash is the latest arrival at The Tile Depot to fit into this special group of products.

A matt porcelain tile designed by Italian manufacturer ABK, Lab Metal Ash is part of a collection of tiles that explores the many expressive forms of concrete. It is described as a crossover product, where ceramic tile manufacturing technology reproduces a sophisticated, industrial, concrete styled porcelain.

Lab Metal Ash has a distinctively vintage appearance with all the character and appeal of reinforced concrete. It has a rustic, tactile finish, not unlike that derived from concrete cast-in formwork. Striking copper toned metallic beads, reminiscent of rusted iron rebars, add some real character and impact to this already stunning tile.

Lab Metal Ash is a large format 600 x 1200mm, full-bodied, coloured porcelain tile with eight unique faces. The surface of the tile has a realistic concrete effect with an R10 anti-slip rating. Suitable for both floors and walls, Lab Metal Ash is a striking product for highly contemporary architectural solutions.
