Timeless Elegance
This elegant modern home was designed for a couple with a natural affinity for traditional design elements.
As a result of wanting to embrace modern architecture, we developed a design that incorporated both styles seamlessly in a way that was relatable and timeless to our clients and their guests.
As a result of sourcing this porcelain slab from Julian Tile, we achieved a harmonious balance between a classic marble look and a sleek and clean slab application, which has a timeless elegance.
Subtle touches of black elements were requested through decorative lighting, hardware, and also the upper cabinet accents, which enhanced the space by grounding the marble slab backsplash and highlighting the hood fan beautifully.
The black accents further heightened the beauty of the porcelain slab, creating a sense of richness and elegance to the overall design.

The Tile you didn’t know existed!
Atlas Plan - 20mm slabs
For the past 10 years, porcelain technology has drastically changed. Digital graphic printing, more complex glazes, & different firing processes have paved the way for some of the most unique, colourful, & innovative tiles ever seen; And none have been larger (literally or figuratively) than the advent of the porcelain slab.
Porcelain slabs were born from the idea of taking a natural looking product (marble, quartzite, granite…) and replicating it in tiles, which allows for more consistency & less maintenance than its natural counterpart. The concept is not new but with the technology now available it is possible to produce extremely large materials (4’ x 9’ and 5’ x 10’), at multiple thickness (6mm, 12mm, and 20mm).
So where can slabs be used? Essentially wherever you can think of. Fireplaces? Absolutely! Porcelain slabs are made in kilns that reach over 1000°c. Shower walls? Of course! Porcelain is, a better option for shower applications, as it is impervious to water and does not require any sealing to prevent damage or staining. Countertops & backsplashes? Yup! There are a variety of thicknesses available to create the kitchen of your dreams. And with porcelains incredible resistance to heat, you can leave a pot on your countertop with no worries of damaging or discolouring the slab.
Porcelain slabs also have a huge benefit over marbles, quartz, and granite slabs on outdoor applications as porcelain is frost & UV resistant. When exposed to the elements your slabs will always look just as gorgeous as the day they were installed.
Come visit one of our slab galleries in Langley, Burnaby, Calgary, Edmonton, and Winnipeg to learn more about this tile format that is taking over the slabs market.

Inspired by the ultimate design icon Iris Apfel, the 8" x 8" tiles play with the concept of fabrics and jewels, opposing graphics to bright colours with metallic touches to create different and innovative spaces.
“It never hurts to dare and try” is the motto of this collection.
And as she says: “There’s no how-to road map to style.
It’s about self-expression and, above all, attitude”.
