Description
The Intarsi Civita offers a seamless, large-format interpretation of the timeless basketweave mosaic. This design captures the traditional “over-under” woven aesthetic of classic masonry, providing a sense of architectural texture and historical depth while maintaining the clean, expansive look of a modern 24×48 porcelain tile.
By utilizing high-definition 3D printing technology, the Intarsi Civita recreates the appearance of individually hand-set marble “laths” interwoven with contrasting dark cabochons. This allows you to achieve the intricate visual complexity of a traditional basketweave floor without the labor-intensive installation or the maintenance challenges of high-frequency grout lines.
The surface is engineered with a Satin-Touch finish, offering a sophisticated, non-reflective appearance that enhances the “woven” illusion. This finish provides a tactile, matte feel that is soft to the touch yet incredibly durable for high-traffic environments.
Built for professional performance, the Intarsi Civita meets the industry standard DCOF > 0.42 (Dynamic Coefficient of Friction). It complies with standards for level interior spaces expected to be walked upon when wet, making it a reliable choice for expansive residential main floors and high-end commercial projects.
Large-format porcelain tile requires proper substrate preparation, handling, mortar coverage, leveling, and grout-joint planning. For best results, review our detailed installation guide before beginning your project.

Where to Use This Tile, and How Tile Finishes Work
Porcelain tile can be suitable for most interior and exterior floor and wall applications when properly selected and installed over a suitable substrate using appropriate setting materials, grout, and waterproofing where required. Under ANSI A137.1, porcelain tile has a water absorption rate of 0.5% or less.
In showers and other wet areas, porcelain tile is widely used, but the tile and grout alone do not create a waterproof installation. Proper substrates, setting materials, waterproofing systems, and grout should be selected according to the installation conditions and TCNA guidelines.
When slipperiness is a concern, the tile’s intended-use classification and DCOF performance should be considered under ANSI A326.3. Slip resistance alone does not determine safety; water, slope, contaminants, walking speed, and intended use can also affect surface conditions.
For exterior areas exposed to direct sunlight, tile color and heat absorption should be considered, along with manufacturer recommendations for exterior use. Movement joints should also be incorporated where required in accordance with TCNA EJ171. Grout-joint width should follow the tile manufacturer’s recommendations and ANSI A108.02 rather than relying on one universal joint size..
