Roccia Porcelain Tiles

About the Roccia porcelain tile range

Roccia, Italian for rock, is a porcelain tile range from The Blue Space. Porcelain is a dense, durable tile with low water absorption, which makes it a suitable option for both floors and walls, and for wet areas as well as dry living spaces, depending on the slip rating of the specific tile chosen. The Roccia name points to a rock or stone-inspired design direction, though the exact finish and appearance should be confirmed against the individual products in the range rather than assumed from the name alone.

Why porcelain works across different areas of the home

Porcelain's density and low water absorption are what make it a practical choice across a wide range of applications, from kitchen and bathroom floors and walls through to outdoor-adjacent areas, provided the specific tile has a slip rating suited to that use. This versatility is one of the main reasons porcelain is a common default choice over more porous tile materials in wet or high-traffic areas.

Buying considerations

• Check the slip rating of the specific Roccia tile before selecting it for a wet area such as a shower floor or an outdoor space, since not all porcelain tiles carry the same rating
• Confirm whether the tile is suited to floor use, wall use, or both, as some porcelain tiles are designed specifically for one application
• Consider tile size and format in relation to the room, as larger format tiles can reduce the number of grout lines and suit a more contemporary look, while smaller formats may suit tighter spaces or specific design details
• Factor in coverage and order enough tile to account for cuts and wastage, particularly for rooms with awkward angles

Design direction

With a name derived from the Italian word for rock, Roccia is likely to lean toward a stone-inspired look, but buyers should review the specific tiles in the range directly to confirm the finish, colour and texture rather than assuming a particular style. As a smaller range of nine products, it suits projects looking for a considered, cohesive tile selection rather than an extensive list of variations.

Planning the tile layout

Before finalising an order, it is worth working out the layout and any feature areas in the room, such as a shower niche or a splashback, since these often use offcuts or a secondary format from the same range. If the room includes both floor and wall tiling, check whether the same Roccia tile is rated for both or whether a companion product in the range is intended for one or the other. Speaking with your tiler about the chosen format before ordering can also help confirm the final quantity, particularly where a specific laying pattern is planned.
