Product description

Loire by COEM is a stone-effect porcelain inspired by the precious stones of French architectural heritage.

The collection

Loire has a softly weathered, lightly mottled surface with the gentle patina of old French stone. With more than 74 digital faces on the 40.8 × 61.4cm, a large floor reads as natural stone rather than repeated tile. Matching outdoor tiles in 9mm and 20mm gresX2 let the same stone run from inside to the garden.

The colours

Avorio · Grigio · Taupe · Moka

How to use it

Loire's soft French limestone look suits country kitchens, boot rooms and garden rooms. Lay the 60 × 90 cm or 75 × 75 cm on larger floors and the 40 × 60 cm in smaller rooms or as a mixed-format pattern. Use the Outdoor R11 finish to carry the same colour onto a terrace, or the 20 mm gresX2 version for paving.

FAQs

How much should I order?

Measure the area in m² and add 10% for cuts, breakages and spares for future repairs (15% for herringbone or diagonal layouts). Tiles are sold in full boxes only. Use the box calculator next to the price: it adds the 10%, rounds up to whole boxes and fills in the quantity for you.

What does rectified mean?

Rectified tiles are ground to an exact size after firing, giving straight, sharp edges. That allows tight grout joints of around 2–3 mm. Non-rectified (natural-edge) tiles need a slightly wider joint.

What do R10, R11 and A+B mean?

R ratings (DIN 51130) measure slip resistance in shoes: R10 suits most indoor floors, and R11 suits outdoor areas and wet, heavy-use spaces. A+B (DIN 51097) is the barefoot wet rating, used for showers and pool surrounds. The rating for your chosen finish is shown under Technical information.

What does V3 shade variation mean?

V3 means moderate variation in shade and pattern from tile to tile, as you'd see in natural stone. Draw tiles from several boxes as you lay, so the variation spreads evenly across the floor.

How long does delivery take?

COEM tiles are shipped from Italy, typically within 2–4 weeks. Delivery is free on orders of £750 and over; under that, pallet delivery is calculated at checkout. Large-format tiles and slabs (90 × 90 cm and above) always carry a delivery charge, calculated at checkout. Call us on 01782 617517 if you need a firm date.
