There’s always something to look forward to in the world of design, like new products. More products mean more options to select from to make your residential or commercial space reflect your desired aesthetic. Whether it be for flooring, countertops, or walls, we have amazing material options for you!

We have many new slabs, be it natural stone, quartz, or porcelain, as well as new porcelain tile. Not only do we want to provide you with the highest quality products, but we also want to inspire you through our ever-growing selection.

Tile & Stone Materials

All materials have their benefits and particular look. While some materials are better in specific applications, others are best in different settings, like indoor vs. outdoor, wall vs. floor, or countertop vs. accents.

Natural stone slabs won’t ever go out of style. There is something beautiful and alluring about natural stone that cannot be duplicated. Not only does natural stone have awe-inspiring visual aesthetics, but it also adds an organic sense and feel to many spaces. It’s fascinating the products that continue to be unearthed, and we feel fortunate to be able to offer them to you!

Quartz slabs have been popular for many years now when it comes to countertops. Della Terra^® Quartz offers a modern, sophisticated aesthetic with exceptional longevity. Ideal in both commercial and residential spaces, the durability of quartz, along with its breadth of color options, may be exactly what you need for your next project.

Our new Della Terra^® Porcelain Slabs are perhaps the most versatile in our collection. Care and maintenance are a breeze with these porcelain slabs because there is no need for grout work. They can be used on kitchen countertops, walls, showers, on residential floors, around fireplaces, and even outdoors.

Porcelain tile will always be a tried-and-true product. With similar versatility to porcelain slabs, porcelain tile is super durable and is ideal in high-traffic areas, like the kitchen and bathroom. With tile vs. slab, you can incorporate different sizes, patterns, and colors all within one design, but there are always opportunities to pair different products together.

Natural Stone

It is hard not to love natural stone, a gift from Mother Nature. Natural stone products have adorned our cities for centuries and proven they can withstand the test of time. There is something special about having natural stone in our dwellings, so seeking more of it for our lineup is always at the top of our list. These two new slabs are striking—it’s hard to believe they are natural, but they are!

Image: Ebon Quartzite Slab Kitchen Island Waterfall Countertop from Arizona Tile

Ebon is a polished quartzite from Brazil. It’s a dramatic, deep black stone with stark white veining running vertically, diagonally, and horizontally in unexpected “patterns.” Use this as your main stone or complementary stone in your kitchen and/or bathroom to create a mesmerizing appeal.

Silver Cloud Satin is as spellbinding as Ebon, though completely different. You could get lost in this stunning granite as your eyes follow the majestic waves and ribbons. Quarried in India, Silver Cloud Satin is a blend of black and white minerals arranged in layers with lots of movement. Granite is great for a variety of installations due to its incredible hardness, so don’t hesitate to focus your design around this stone.

Quartz Slabs

Quartz slabs are hard to beat because of their virtuous attributes: quartz is non-porous, so it doesn’t need to be sealed. Since it’s a manufactured material, it has a wide color range with consistency. It’s heat-, stain-, and scratch-resistant; making it easy to care for and maintain. And it’s great for many interior surfaces, especially kitchens and bathrooms, in both commercial and residential applications.

Want to make a bold yet beautiful statement? Need a product for a great accent feature? Look no further than Calacatta Doria quartz with a bright white background and high-contrast black veining.

Softer, more subtle, and beautiful in a different way than Calacatta Doria, Vena quartz looks like the delightful Arabescato marble with its soft white background and grey veining. Consider it as a stunning accent option for the design of your dreams.

Porcelain Slabs

Maybe you’ve thought about using porcelain tile for your countertops but worry about the installation process or having grout lines to maintain. Possibly you have toyed with the idea of a natural stone countertop, but fear you won’t follow through with proper maintenance. This is why Della Terra^® Porcelain Slabs are fantastic; plus, they’re frostproof and unaffected by UV exposure, making them just as valuable outside as inside. Take a few moments to look through these selections: you won’t be disappointed!

Porcelain Tile

Unlike porcelain slabs, porcelain tile is not a new product, but its selection continually grows—lucky you! Porcelain tile is dense and stain-, scratch-, and water-resistant, making it an excellent choice for your residential or commercial design. Porcelain can look like so many things—natural stone, dimensional tile, wood, and metal—and we have all of those; plus more, as our lineup grows.

Natural Stone:

Invictus Cross Cut series emulates Cross-Cut Travertine but offers so much more: low maintenance, more versatility, and an R11 Anti-Slip Finish, making it a safer option for exterior flooring. In four colors—Beige, Ivory, Pearl, and White—and multiple sizes, you will be able to execute your design exactly how you’ve envisioned.

The Intense series was inspired by sedimentary limestone and includes granules and micro-inclusions to mimic fossils. In four colors, multiple sizes, and two finishes—Matte and R11 Anti-Slip—this product can be mistaken for natural stone, especially our 24” x 48” size with its chiseled-stone appearance.

Dimensional Porcelain Tile:

Its glaze and its dimension may cloud your typical perception of porcelain. Gem porcelain tile is stunning in eight colors, and its unique dimensional element is delightful.

Wood-Look Tile:

There are other wood-toned porcelain products available, but the Shen series is the cherry on top. Masterfully mimicking wood with monochromatic tones, Shen evokes the serene essence of stained wood. This is perfect if you want to include elements of nature in your design but want simple maintenance and durability.

Metal-Look Tile:

Our Fray Metal series delicately blends elegance with an urban appeal, which is presented through the combined texture of linen and the shimmering effect of metal. While its feel and function are far different than metal, this aesthetic is great for a modern or industrial design.
