Project Wood is the new porcelain stoneware collection from Casalgrande Padana, inspired by the warm tones of beech wood.
Beech trees are majestic and highly regarded across Europe for their wood, and they’re “coming to life” in Casalgrande Padana’s new porcelain stoneware tile collection developed with SBGA Blengini Ghirardelli, the companies say.
These tiles’ colour and design redefine the idea of wooden surfaces, Casalgrande says, replicating the charm of rare, sought-after wood in a palette of beautiful colours. The texture and tactile sensations emphasise these porcelain stoneware planks’ veining and grain, aiming to create warm and cosy settings in any style.
Project Wood is the result of research to obtain a durable, environmentally sustainable product. It comes in five colours (Mesola, Migliarino, Paneveggio, Pollino, and Quarto) and two formats. The 20x120cm has a 9mm thickness and a natural or grip finish, while the 40x120cm format has a 20mm thickness and an anti-slip finish for outdoor use. This latter version can be laid on screed with adhesive, perfect for balconies, patios, terraces, verandas, and poolsides. Applied directly to turf, gravel, or sand, they create walkways which can reportedly be walked on right away. In addition, in line with the latest trends, these tiles enable continuous merging of indoor and outdoor spaces, the manufacturer says, creating a “stunning visual continuity and improving their functionality and comfort all year round”.
The Project Wood collection is said to stand out for its modern aesthetic and resistance to impact, abrasion, flexure, and stains. It’s suitable for the indoor and outdoor floors and walls of residential and public spaces and projects in the contract furnishing, hospitality, and wellness sectors.
Like all Casalgrande porcelain stoneware collections, the company says, Project Wood tiles are non-absorbent, eco-compatible, fire-resistant, and easy to lay and clean. In addition, the range features antibacterial properties, thanks to the Bios Antibacterial treatment (available upon request). These tiles are not affected by temperature fluctuations, whatever the latitude, and never warp, maintaining their aesthetic over time.
The manufacturer’s porcelain stoneware tiles’ production processes are designed to ensure excellent aesthetic and technical qualities and help protect the environment. “This way,” the company concludes, “the spaces they create are not only beautiful and functional but also safe and healthy, free of harmful substances, easy to clean, and environmentally friendly.”
