Avant
Avant brings a refined sense of sophistication to contemporary spaces with its elongated 3″ x 16″ format, rich color palette, and beautifully expressive ceramic surface. Inspired by the glamour and ornamentation of early 1900’s Art Deco, Avant translates those timeless influences into a fresh, modern collection designed for today’s interiors.
Available in 12 carefully selected colors, from soft neutrals and warm earth tones to sophisticated greens and deep blues, Avant makes it easy to create spaces that feel both distinctive and enduring. Gloss finishes add luminous depth and movement, while the matte options offer a quieter, more understated expression.
The collection’s slender rectangular format creates endless possibilities for pattern and direction—from classic stacked layouts to herringbone, vertical applications, and more graphic compositions. For an added layer of detail, Avant Vague introduces a softly curved variation, while coordinating rounded-edge pieces provide a polished finishing touch.
Elegant without feeling formal, expressive without being overwhelming, Avant is designed to become a defining element of the space—equally at home in sophisticated bathrooms, kitchens, hospitality interiors, feature walls, and other statement applications.
Classic inspiration meets modern expression.
Timeless elegance reimagined.

Special Notes
TILE FIXING
To ensure the products adhere correctly to the surface, it is essential to use specific adhesive and grouting material. This must also be suitable for the environment they will have to withstand. Fitting with traditional mortars does not ensure good adhesion.
Due to the nature of the material there may be dimensional variations between pieces. Therefore , all types of joints must be planned and carried out correctly: structural, perimeter, expansion and installation joints. Fitting tiles without joints is not advisable from any technical point of view as this may lead to various problems. For an optimal result we advise to use 1,5 mm (0.06”) spacers.
GROUTING
The choice of quality grouting mortar is crucial. We recommend:
– Laticrete Spectralock Pro Premium (We also carry this)
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Once the materials have been fitted, it is advisable to remove any remaining adhesive and grouting material by using a commercial descaling product designed especially, diluted with water . The descaling product must not remain in contact with the surface to be cleaned for more than 5 minutes.
As a general guideline, powder detergents should not be used, not wire wool or abrasive materials. Generally a sponge will be sufficient with warm water and liquid neutral soap. Then rinse with plenty of clean water.
