Walker Zanger unveils new Grain porcelain collection with anti-slip option

Tile offers contemporary European wood look with the durability of porcelain

LOS ANGELES – The design aesthetic of wood is timeless, yet it lacks durability and longevity, especially near water or in high-traffic areas. The new Grain collection from Walker Zanger provides a solution by replicating the look of wood, yet offering the maintenance-free durability and versatility of porcelain. Grain encapsulates contemporary European style through clean lines and natural wood grains, including an anti-slip option for outdoor use.

“Porcelain is trending at the forefront of the home décor industry since it has the ability to mimic other materials,” said Jared Becker, Walker Zanger Vice President of Design and Marketing. “By using our porcelain Grain tile, designers and homeowners can bring the wood aesthetic into their high-end remodels with a luxurious and durable touch.”

Made in Spain with the latest innovations in digital glazing technology, this collection utilizes a subtle variation in four wood tones per color, as well as natural grain and texture, to create the look and feel of real finished wood.

For residential and commercial settings, the tile is ideal for interior floors and walls, including heavy pedestrian traffic areas. While Grain spans four colors (Anthracite, Beige, Brown and Ochre) and is available in wide planks or chevrons, the Brown color has a notable anti-slip option since the darker hue blends well with the added finish.

“The anti-slip finish makes it an exciting new choice for outdoor use, especially used poolside,” said Becker. “It’s a combination of form and function that has always been desired for safety purposes.”
