Asphalt LF
Concrete look in large format porcelain.
Asphalt LF
Asphalt LF is part of our premium large format tile collection, offering oversized porcelain tiles and slabs that minimize grout lines and create seamless, contemporary surfaces. Available in our Richmond showroom.
Asphalt LF translates cast concrete into large format porcelain, with the mottled, slightly industrial face that makes the look convincing. Colourways run from a soft off-white through mud and grit tones to a smoky fume grey, each with non-repeating variation across the 120x60 and 120x120 cm faces, so no two adjacent tiles read as duplicates.
Real concrete cracks, dusts and drinks in stains; porcelain does none of that. Asphalt LF delivers the loft aesthetic with near-zero absorption and no sealing, making it workable in kitchens and bathrooms where actual concrete struggles. It suits Metro Vancouver's converted lofts, modern laneway homes and any interior leaning industrial. Thickness spans 0.6cm to 1.2cm.

Where Asphalt LF Works
Loft-style living floors
In the natural finish, the concrete face carries an open industrial scheme across living and dining zones, without the coldness or cracking of a real poured slab.
Industrial kitchen surfaces
Asphalt LF clads island faces and backsplashes for a workshop-like kitchen, and the porcelain body wipes free of grease that would stain true concrete permanently.
Bathroom wet walls
The urban texture works well in showers, where porcelain handles constant water without complaint. Keep the natural finish on floors and either finish on the walls.
Offices and studios
Creative workspaces and studios suit the concrete look naturally, and a porcelain floor stands up to chairs, carts and daily traffic far better than polished concrete toppings.
Design Notes
Pairing & Layout Ideas
Lean into contrast of material rather than colour: raw steel shelving, black window frames, warm plywood or walnut cabinetry all read beautifully against a concrete field. Oneway's metal-look faces extend the industrial theme onto a feature wall, while Blanco can lighten adjacent rooms without changing the mood. Keep grout in the same grey family as your chosen tone, and consider the off-white colourway when you want the texture without the darkness.
FAQ
Asphalt LF Questions
What colours does Asphalt LF include?
The range moves from a warm off-white through mid mud and grit tones to the darker fume grey. All share the same mottled concrete face, so mixing tones between rooms keeps a consistent character while shifting the light level.
Is it convincing as concrete?
At this scale, yes. The non-repeating faces and 120x120 cm format avoid the obvious pattern repeats that give printed tile away, and grout lines are few enough that the surface reads as poured. Most people judge it by touch before they believe it is tile.
Which rooms suit the darker tones?
Fume and the deeper tones suit rooms with good light or deliberate mood: dens, powder rooms, feature walls. In small or dim spaces, the off-white and lighter tones keep the industrial character without closing the room in.
Can I use it on both floor and wall?
Yes, the collection is rated for indoor floors and walls. Use the natural finish anywhere underfoot, especially bathrooms, and either finish vertically. Carrying one tone from floor to wall is a simple way to get the monolithic concrete effect.
