Crossville Ardesia a Spacco Panels

November 15, 2021

Crossville Inc. has announced the launch of its Ardesia a Spacco porcelain tile panel collection. Inspired by Pietra di Lavagna slate from Liguria, Italy, these panels are crafted to replicate the appearance and structural depth of split-gauged stone. The line is made in Italy by Laminam and stocked in the United States.

Ardesia a Spacco is offered in two versatile, through-body colors, bianco (white) and nero (black) and a 1200-by-3000mm (47 ¼-by-118 7/64-in.) size format that’s wider than traditional porcelain panels. Mesh backing provides enhanced strength and durability for use on floors and walls in commercial or residential settings.

The authenticity of the collection’s slate look is enhanced by variances of depth across the surface of the panels. The 5.6mm standard thickness alters up to 1.5mm across the surface to realistically mimic stone’s dimensional attributes.

The nuances in depth across the panels are achieved through some of the latest innovations in porcelain tile manufacturing technology. Though Crossville‘s Ardesia a Spacco beautifully captures natural slate’s appearance, the durability of the collection stands in contrast to natural slate’s more tender qualities.
