Portland Stone
Cross Cut Travertine In Porcelain.
Portland Stone
Portland Stone recreates the classic cross-cut travertine aesthetic with warm, natural tones and organic movement. Perfect for creating sophisticated, timeless environments.
Portland Stone works the classic cross-cut travertine look across a cooler, more mineral palette: White, Silver, Sand and Taupe. Non-repeating faces carry the stone's gentle mottling without visible pattern repeats, and a matching hex mosaic extends the collection into shower floors and accent areas. The overall effect is quieter and slightly more contemporary than traditional travertine beiges.
As with all porcelain, the practicality is built in: nothing to seal, nothing that stains, and a surface that shrugs off wet boots and pet claws. For Metro Vancouver projects, Portland Stone suits both homes and light commercial spaces, and the Silver and Taupe colourways in particular sit well in offices, lobbies and modern townhouse interiors.

Where Portland Stone Works
Showers with hex floors
Pair the wall tile with the matching hexagon mosaic on the shower floor. The mosaic's tight grout spacing adds traction where you need it while keeping one material throughout.
Main living floors
Sand or Taupe across an open floor plan gives warmth with less yellow than typical travertine looks. The 24x48 format minimizes grout across long sightlines.
Office and lobby floors
Hard-wearing 1cm porcelain in a calm stone pattern suits reception areas and corridors, and the mottled travertine surface helps disguise the scuffs and dust of daily foot traffic.
Tub surrounds and niches
The hex mosaic doubles as an accent: line a niche or skirt a tub with it against the field tile for added texture without introducing a new colour.
Design Notes
Pairing & Layout Ideas
The cooler colourways open pairings that beige travertine resists: black window frames, concrete-look counters and cool white walls all work with Silver and Taupe, while Sand and White welcome oak and rattan. Match grout to tile for a monolithic look, or go slightly darker to emphasize the hex mosaic's geometry. Florence covers the warmer end of the travertine spectrum if these tones feel too cool, and Purestone offers a sandstone alternative.
FAQ
Portland Stone Questions
What formats does Portland Stone include?
Field tile in 24x48 and 24x24 inches plus a coordinating hex mosaic. All come in the four colourways, White, Silver, Sand and Taupe, so you can run field tile on walls and floors and drop the mosaic into shower pans, niches or feature strips.
Is the hex mosaic suitable for shower floors?
Yes, that is its main job. The small format follows the slope to the drain cleanly, and the dense grout lines give your feet more to grip than a large tile would. Keep the field tile on the walls and the transition looks intentional.
How do the four colours differ in practice?
White is the brightest and most neutral, Silver adds a soft grey cast, Sand brings gentle warmth, and Taupe is the deepest, a warm grey-brown. All four share the same travertine patterning, so the choice is really about the room's light and palette.
Where can I see the colours together?
All four colourways and the hex mosaic are on display at the Richmond showroom on Bridgeport Road. Comparing them side by side under consistent lighting is the quickest way to settle the choice, and samples are available to take home.
