Regular readers of Tile Addict will have noted my comments on the growing use of coloured grout as an integral part of new tile displays at Coverings and other recent international trade shows. Perhaps the apotheosis of this trend can be seen in Cava: a collection designed for Living Ceramics by LucidiPevere.

I have had a great feedback on my recent posts concerning the application of colour, and particularly coloured grouts, at the recent Coverings exhibition. This product can be used to fix and grout most materials, including porcelain stoneware, klinker, glass and metallic mosaic, natural and reconstituted stone, pebbles and even wood.

This is the time of year when tile manufacturers start to inform Tile Addict of their plans for Cersaie 2018. And early indications are that the new market opportunities offered by XXL format tiles – 3,200 by 1,600mm and up – are very much on the manufacturers’ minds. Note the coloured grout lines.

If you are looking for innovation in wall tile design, the metro tile may seem an unlikely destination. After all, this is one of the long-established staples of the tile retailer’s arsenal, alongside quarry tiles, black and white contrasts, and simulated marbles.

Interior designers don’t seem to agree on 2019s taste for terrazzo.
