Developed to achieve an intricate yet easily installed and repeatable appearance in both commercial and resident applications. Read on for further details and imagery that best demonstrates this exceptional product installed to perfection.

V-Tile™ and Crescent V-Tile™

V-Tile™ comes as a single wedge tile, non-meshed option allowing designers and architects to achieve any desired bespoke look. This diverse tile also comes in a range of different colours, sizes (V-Tile™, Large V-Tile™, V-Tile™ II) and finishes (V-Tile™ natural finish or Crescent V-Tile™ honed finish).

Desired looks / designs can be enhanced by the mixing of colours or alternate stone and finishes ranges. Bordering with other stone, intricate corner treatment and the use of alternate laying styles can create a stand out feature or a subtle nuance to another design highlight in your space.

Large V-Tile™ has been used in the commercial ground floor application. The below image highlights the floor to ceiling use of a mitred corner join and return to the lift access  in a stack 50% offset.

Vertical application of Crescent V-Tile™ can be used to achieve a stunning aesthetic. Crescent V-Tile™ in Sutra Black (CB2.BM) has been used in a stacked 25% offset vertical orientation in the below example.

As mentioned you can also achieve interesting looks by combining multiple Island Stone products. This fireplace features a combination of V-Tile™ and Large V-Tile™, a gorgeous use of an asymmetric design. This design uses two rows of staggered V-Tile™ divided by a row of staggered large V-Tile™.

TIP – Like with anything, preparation is essential. When identifying a design for your space, don’t forget to think about how your are going to treat the corners and edges. This can influence how and where on the wall you start. Click HERE to view our corner treatment blog post for more detail and inspiration.
