PRODUCT TITLE Cerdomus Ostuni Avorio 8" x 16" Italian Porcelain Tile
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Experience the timeless charm of Southern Italy with the Cerdomus Ostuni Avorio. Inspired by the sun-drenched, historic limestone of the Apulian landscape, the Ostuni collection captures the essence of Mediterranean living. The Avorio (Ivory) shade offers a warm, creamy neutral base with delicate tonal variations and authentic stony textures that bring an organic, airy feel to any space.
Crafted in Italy by Cerdomus, this 8" x 16" porcelain tile combines the rustic beauty of ancient stone with the high-performance durability of modern stoneware. Whether you are designing a farmhouse kitchen, a contemporary bath, or a seamless indoor-outdoor transition, Ostuni Avorio provides a sophisticated, versatile foundation.
DESIGN & AESTHETIC The Ostuni collection is renowned for its "tumbled-look" edges and multi-faceted surface. The 8" x 16" format is an architectural favorite, allowing for versatile installation patterns such as running bond, herringbone, or even combined with other sizes for a modular, Versailles-style layout. Its matte finish is designed to feel natural underfoot while offering superior resistance to wear and moisture.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is this tile suitable for bathroom floors and showers? Yes. Cerdomus porcelain is non-porous and highly water-resistant. The Ostuni series offers a natural grip texture that makes it an excellent choice for wet environments like bathrooms and walk-in showers.
Can I use Ostuni Avorio outside? Absolutely. This tile is frost-resistant and durable enough to handle exterior temperature swings. Its limestone-effect finish looks beautiful on patios and covered outdoor walkways.
What grout color matches Avorio best? To maintain the seamless look of a natural stone floor, we recommend a grout that matches the "Ivory" base, such as a "Cream," "Almond," or "Bone" color. A 3/16" grout joint is typical for this style to enhance the rustic edge.
Does this tile require sealing? No. Unlike the natural limestone it emulates, Cerdomus porcelain is non-porous and does not require sealing or special stone treatments.
INSTALLATION & CARE TIPS
-
Pattern Variety: Cerdomus tiles feature a high number of unique "faces." Be sure to pull from several different boxes during installation to ensure a natural, random distribution of texture and shade.
-
Maintenance: Simply clean with water and a pH-neutral floor cleaner. Porcelain is resistant to household chemicals, so it won't etch or fade over time.
-
Subfloor: Ensure a flat, level subfloor for the 8" x 16" format to avoid "lippage" (uneven edges) and achieve a professional finish.
