Corten inspired tiles by TAU Cerámica
Easy there you head banger you, we're not talking about the mavens of heavy metal rock music, we're talking ceramic tile here... whaaa? You read right, porcelin tiles that replicate the look of naturally oxidized steel.

Rock on.

Link: TAU Cerámica
TAU Cerámica now presents CORTEN, a model in the TAU Metallica collection designed to incorporate ceramics into the realm of creative architecture. A model inspired by the metal alloy used most frequently in modern sculpture, corten steel, whose textures are faithfully reproduced in ceramic materials even offering new interpretations of this noble material.

Awesome effect
Posted by Will on 7/12/2005 8:19:00 PM

Saw this fantastic tile at a parade of homes in Madison, WI -- Nonn's Flooring has it. I was astonished by the real metallic appearance of this tile. Very original. The rust version is warm, the silver version is a little overpowering.

Interceramic Tile makes them and we are considering the copper with its cordinating trim piece with stainless steel inserts a perfect touch. Also, you have to call them because this "corten" is not shown on their website.

link to producer website TAU Ceramica
Posted by Peter on 1/20/2007 3:24:00 PM

Hi,
as it was interesting to find a question from a UK citizen directed to an US audience I guess it would be easier to check the producers website directly and do not order the tiles from Spain via the US ;)
http://www.tauceramic.net/en/noticias.php

I've found this site by accident but I'm also having the Corten A tiles installed in the next two weeks. They looks awesome.

Tau corten b black
Posted by dena feldman on 5/9/2007 3:06:00 PM

We just installed this tile in the 24 x24 size in an extension to my home. I am looking for the mosaic tile to finish the entrance floor from old flooring to the new flooring. My tile has a lot of copper highlights but unfortunatly the mosaic that was sent to me had no copper but SILVEr. This does not work in my room. Where in the tri-state n.y. n.j. area can I obtain 2-3 boxes of the mosaic size black with copper highlights. as soon as possible

This tile is amazing
Posted by Patty on 3/21/2008 5:28:00 PM

I have installed Corten A in my open bathroom shower and used Corten B on the floor of the bathroom outside the shower in a demolition chic/modern style. Visitors spend long moments just standing and looking at this tile, then begging me for the name of the supplier. I got my tile from Architectural Ceramics in Bethesda, MD.
