Cerdomus Imperial Stone Silver 24x48 Matte

Description

Cerdomus Imperial Stone Silver 24×48 Matte — Premium Porcelain Stone Look Tile from Italy

Cerdomus Imperial Stone Silver 24×48 Matte is a rectified, large-format through-bodied porcelain stone look tile made in Italy by Cerdomus, reproducing the quiet authority of limestone quarried in the Italian Mediterranean tradition. The Silver colorway reads as a cool pale grey with a light, powdery field, held to a V1 uniform shade so large runs lay out with calm, predictable continuity. At 24″x48″ with an 8.5 mm body and a matte natural surface, it gives contractors, designers and architects a durable, low-sheen stone floor and wall option that works as comfortably in a residential bath as it does across a light-commercial lobby.

About the Imperial Stone Collection

Cerdomus has been producing porcelain in Castel Bolognese since 1969, and the Imperial Stone collection is drawn from the limestone of Italy’s Mediterranean architecture — the pale, weathered stone of palazzi and civic monuments. The range spans six tones from bright white through deep charcoal. Cerdomus builds the surface with its SurfacePro process, layering digital whites and ceramic inks so the graphic gains real optical depth, then working the veining so it registers under the hand as well as the eye. The result is a matte face with genuine texture rather than a flat printed sheet — and because every tile is rectified, joints can be tightened for a near-continuous stone field.

Installation & Applications for Cerdomus Imperial Stone Silver 24×48 Matte

Cerdomus Imperial Stone Silver 24×48 Matte ships 2 pieces per carton covering 15.5 sq ft. The tile is rectified, so a 2 mm minimum joint is workable over a properly prepared, flat substrate; Cerdomus recommends a self-levelling screed for rectified material. With an R10 slip rating (DIN EN 16165 Annex B) and a DCOF of 0.42 wet and dry under ANSI A326.3, this matte finish suits interior floors and walls — bathrooms, kitchens, entryways, living areas, feature walls and light-commercial spaces. For continuously wet or barefoot exterior areas such as pool surrounds and shower floors, specify the same colorway in the Cerdomus Safe finish, which raises slip resistance to R11 / A+B+C. Because 24″x48″ is a large format, use a leveling-clip system, back-butter, and keep the adhesive bed continuous — aim for full coverage with no voids. The body is frost-proof under UNI EN ISO 10545-12, so Cerdomus Imperial Stone Silver 24×48 Matte carries outdoors as well — patios, terraces, porches, covered walkways and other exterior floors in freeze-thaw climates.
