Hello. We are considering installing the above-mentioned tile. However, it seems it can only be ordered online directly from Italy, so we requested a sample and received a 10x10 cm (4x4 inch) piece. Anyone thinking about installing wood-look tiles knows that you need at least a full tile—or better yet a whole square meter—to really get an idea of the floor, since the wood grain varies a lot. Therefore, we are still unsure whether to place an order based on this tiny sample, as photos from catalogs and the internet can be misleading.

Of course, we understand that no retailer sends out full square meters as samples. That’s why I have been searching for dealers who can supply or even stock this tile. I found only one who has it in stock, but not on display. They said a package for sampling cannot be opened—you have to buy it based on the brochure images.

Has anyone here installed this tile? Or do you know a tile store that carries this brand? As mentioned, we already searched online for dealers and requested samples (of course, we would pay the corresponding price), but it seems hardly feasible.

Maybe someone can help me with this rather specific issue. The women among you will understand—once you’ve set your heart on something, everything else just isn’t as appealing.

Best regards

The easiest way is probably to contact the manufacturer and ask them to provide the dealers nearby who are listed with them. Then you follow up with those dealers.

Exactly. Just buy a package. If necessary, get it from Italy.

Anyone who has thought about laying wood-look tiles knows that you need at least a whole tile, or preferably one square meter (10.8 square feet), to get a proper impression of the floor, since the wood grain pattern varies a lot. Therefore, we are still unsure whether to place an order based on this tiny sample, and photos from catalogs and the internet can be misleading. Of course, we understand that no dealer will send out whole square meters for sampling. That’s clear to us.

Has anyone by chance installed this tile? Or knows a tile retailer who carries this brand? As I said, we have already searched online for suppliers and requested samples (of course, we would pay the appropriate price), but this seems hardly possible.

We are also interested in the tile mentioned in the color "Miele" – have you found a good supplier or have you already installed it?

Is there any update?
We have been considering for some time whether we should make the down payment now and have the delivery made if needed. This way, we would secure the price guarantee.

Unfortunately, there is no news from our side. We have obtained a very good quote. However, we have also continued to look for alternatives available locally.
I inquired with many suppliers, but it seems they are not frequently distributed.
We found one that is somewhat darker in base tone but has a similar grain, with distinctive black "knots."
Best regards
