Oneway
Metal-look porcelain in large format.
Oneway
Oneway 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.
Oneway takes large format porcelain somewhere different: a metal-inspired surface with the brushed, burnished character of steel and copper rather than stone. Colourways include white, steel, night and copper, each with non-repeating variation, and the 120x60 and 120x120 cm formats let the metallic effect run across a wall like sheet material.
Unlike real metal cladding, Oneway will not oxidize, dent or fingerprint its way through the years; porcelain keeps the effect fixed, with near-zero absorption and no maintenance beyond cleaning. It is a strong pick for feature walls in Metro Vancouver condos, hospitality interiors and any project after an urban edge that stone looks cannot supply. Thickness runs 0.6cm to 1.2cm.

Where Oneway Works
Feature and media walls
The metallic face was made for a vertical moment: behind a TV, a bar or a bed, where lighting can graze across the brushed texture and shift through the day.
Restaurant and lounge walls
Copper and night tones bring hospitality warmth after dark, and the porcelain surface handles the wipe-downs and knocks of a commercial room without patina or damage.
Powder rooms with attitude
A small room lets a strong surface shine. Wrap a powder room in the steel or copper tone and let the mirror and lighting multiply the effect.
Modern fireplace surrounds
The metal look suits linear gas fireplaces especially well, framing the flame in burnished tones, and porcelain sits comfortably next to heat where laminate and paint cannot.
Design Notes
Pairing & Layout Ideas
Treat Oneway as jewellery for the room and keep neighbouring surfaces matte and mineral: Asphalt LF's concrete face is its most natural companion, and Monocolor gives it a silent backdrop. Dark grout disappears into the steel and night tones, while the copper colourway pairs warmly with walnut and leather. Lighting matters more here than with any stone look, so plan wall washers or side light to bring the brushed texture alive.
FAQ
Oneway Questions
Can Oneway go on floors?
It is specified for indoor floors and walls, so yes, with the natural finish being the practical choice underfoot. That said, the metallic character shows most clearly on vertical surfaces where light can rake across it at an angle.
Which colourway should I start with?
Steel is the most flexible, reading as a refined grey with metallic depth. Night is the boldest, copper the warmest, and white gives the brushed texture in its subtlest form. Seeing all four side by side makes the choice fast.
Is the surface actually metallic?
The effect comes from the fired porcelain face rather than a metal coating, which is why it cannot tarnish, rust or wear through. You get the visual character of brushed metal with the cleaning routine of ordinary tile.
Where can I see the full range?
All four Oneway tones are displayed at our Richmond showroom on Bridgeport Road. Bring photos of your space and lighting, since metallic surfaces change dramatically between showroom and home light, and our staff can help you judge the difference.
