The Intarsi Tiziano represents the pinnacle of linear architectural design, recreating the precision of high-end water-jet fabrication in a durable porcelain format. This pattern features a sophisticated “deconstructed stripe” or “shattered linear” aesthetic, where varied marble-look planks are intersected by bold, diagonal fractures. It is a masterful choice for designers looking to introduce movement and directional energy into a space without the complexity of manual stone cutting.
Utilizing state-of-the-art 3D manufacturing, the Tiziano pattern simulates an intricate inlay of diverse marble textures—ranging from crisp whites to deep architectural grays. By capturing this water-jet aesthetic within a 24×48 large-format tile, you achieve a continuous, avant-garde floor or wall surface that maintains the structural benefits and easy maintenance of rectified porcelain.
The surface is finished with the collection’s signature Satin-Touch non-polished texture. This ensures the linear details and marble veining are presented with a soft, matte elegance that avoids the glare of high-gloss finishes, providing a tactile, premium feel underfoot.
Engineered for professional-grade performance, the Intarsi Tiziano meets the industry standard DCOF > 0.42 (Dynamic Coefficient of Friction). It complies with requirements for level interior spaces expected to be walked upon when wet, successfully bridging the gap between delicate architectural aesthetics and rugged commercial compliance.

Standard matte, satin, and polished finishes usually have similar slip-resistance levels unless the tile is specifically rated as an In & Out or Grip finish.
For pool areas, a Grip finish is preferred. For outdoor areas that may get wet, an In & Out finish is usually the better choice. However, any wet surface can become slippery depending on the angle, speed, amount of water, and how the area is used, so caution is always required.
A DCOF rating above 0.42 is considered the beginning level of slip resistance. Tiles with more surface friction usually attract more dirt and dust, which is why they are generally preferred for outdoor areas.
