Fresco Specifications Explained

  • Material: Brazilian Ceramic, Matte & Glossy Finishes — Ceramic tile manufactured in Brazil, available in both matte (non-reflective, subtle) and glossy (reflective, vibrant) finishes. Ceramic is slightly more porous than porcelain, making it best suited for interior wall applications.
  • Installation: Wall, Interior — Designed specifically for interior wall use only. This tile is not rated for floor installation or exterior applications due to its ceramic composition and absorption characteristics.
  • Variation Level: 2 — On a scale of 1–4, this indicates slight variation in color and tone between tiles. Expect subtle differences that add visual character while maintaining an overall cohesive appearance.
  • Sizes Available: 6x6 — A classic square format ideal for traditional designs, backsplashes, accent walls, and decorative patterns. The smaller size allows for creative layouts and works well in compact spaces.

13 Colors to Match Your Design Vision

One of the standout features of this collection is the extensive color palette. With 13 distinct colors to choose from, you can find the perfect shade for virtually any design scheme. Whether you prefer soft neutrals, bold statement colors, or earthy tones, the Fresco lineup offers options that complement both contemporary and traditional interiors.

The collection includes colors like Brume, Blu, Charbon, and several other curated shades. Each color maintains the zellige-look character while providing enough variety to suit different tastes and design preferences.

Choose Your Finish: Matte or Glossy

Every color in the Fresco ceramic decorative wall tile collection is available in two finish options. The glossy finish reflects light beautifully, making spaces feel brighter and more open. This finish works particularly well in smaller bathrooms or kitchens where you want to maximize the sense of space.

The matte finish offers a more subdued, sophisticated appearance. It hides water spots and fingerprints better than glossy surfaces, making it a practical choice for busy households. Both finishes share the same artisan character that defines this collection.

Technical Specifications You Should Know

Before purchasing, understanding the technical details helps ensure this tile is right for your project. The Fresco collection features a ceramic body construction, which makes it lightweight and easy to cut during installation. The pressed edge provides clean lines and allows for consistent grout joint spacing.

These tiles are designed specifically for wall installation. They are not rated for floor use or outdoor applications. For indoor wall projects like backsplashes, accent walls, and shower surrounds, ceramic offers excellent performance and long-lasting beauty.

Traditional handmade zellige tiles can be costly, making Fresco an attractive alternative for homeowners who want that artisanal aesthetic without the premium price tag.

Installation Considerations

When installing Fresco ceramic decorative wall tile, we recommend blending tiles from multiple boxes before installation. This ensures an even distribution of the natural color variations throughout your project. A dry mock layout under appropriate lighting helps you visualize the final result before committing to adhesive.

The manufacturer recommends consulting the most current TCNA Handbook for installation guidelines. Using appropriate setting materials and following proper installation techniques ensures your tile performs beautifully for years to come.
