Blend Stone
Blend Stone is a collection of stone-effect porcelain stoneware that offers more than meets the eye. By incorporating fragments that sink below the surface and combining mineral textures of rare beauty throughout the thickness of the ceramic slab, Blend Stone transcends the idea of verisimilitude by creating a new material. Composed of three graphic textures obtained from as many natural stones, Blend Stone adds rust-colored inclusions to the typical grain of Limestone and the halos of Pietra Piasentina overlaps dark segments and light and delicate veins.
Available in 3 colours, 2 thicknesses (14 mm e 20 mm), 4 finishes and 6 formats, including two new large sizes (120×120 cm and 90×180 cm), Blend Stone is an elegant, technically high-performance and versatile collection that is ideal for both residential and commercial contexts, as well as for contemporary architecture and major public projects.
Blend Stone offers a safe choice thanks to the exclusive Protect® technology, which guarantees powerful antibacterial protection 24 hours a day, even without sunlight, and that never loses its effectiveness because it is permanently integrated in the product.

Finishes
Natural
A finish with an extremely textured, deep, mineral aesthetic effect combined with an elegant and matt reflection. Although not smooth, the ceramic surface is soft and pleasant to the touch.
Lappata
An irregular finish with a slight roughness, worked to achieve the uneven effect and the irregular lustre typical of time-polished stone.
Sabbiata
A finish with very high slip resistance, which, thanks to the application of a special grit, recreates the rough texture typical of flamed natural surfaces.
Bushhammered
A finish that offers the highest degree of slip resistance and that, thanks to its unique bush-hammered appearance, features numerous recesses and micro-protrusions typical of this process.
Features
Protect
Blend Stone surfaces contain an anti-microbial shield featuring silver ion technology integrated into the tiles, eliminating up to 99.9% of surface bacteria.
Non-Slip
The Blend Stone collection has high anti-slip characteristics of R10 in the Natural finish, R11 in the Sabbiata finish and R12 in the Bushhammered finish.
Shade Variation
