Biscuit by 41zero42

Collection Summary

Biscuit by 41zero42 is a white-body ceramic wall tile collection built around a 2×8-inch format and six geometric surfaces: Plain, Dune, Waves, Strip, Stud, and Peak. The matte collection is offered in Bianco, Terra, Salvia, Notte, Bordeaux, and Powder, allowing dimensional patterns to be developed through either a single relief or combinations of multiple surfaces.

Design & Aesthetic

Biscuit uses relief rather than printed graphics to create visual movement. The six surfaces range from flat to strongly dimensional, allowing light and shadow to change the appearance of an installation throughout the day. Its narrow rectangular format keeps the collection visually familiar while the relief options introduce more architectural texture.

The muted palette includes warm earth tones, greens, dark neutrals, white, Bordeaux, and Powder. Individual surface designs can be repeated consistently or combined to create more varied compositions.

Material & Craftsmanship

Biscuit is a single-fired white-body ceramic wall tile with a matte finish and an 8 mm thickness. The manufacturer notes slight differences in shade and caliber as part of the collection’s intentionally artisanal appearance.

Design Applications

Biscuit is intended for wall applications. Its dimensional surfaces make it particularly useful where texture is intended to become part of the architectural composition, including accent walls and other interior wall surfaces. The manufacturer also provides installation guidance for bathrooms and showers, including proper substrate waterproofing in wet environments.

Specifying Biscuit

All Biscuit tiles share the 2×8-inch format and 8 mm thickness, but the individual reliefs create noticeably different surface profiles. Consider how directional reliefs such as Strip, Dune, Waves, or Peak will align within the installation before finalizing a layout.

Biscuit is a ceramic wall product rather than a floor tile. For wet installations, follow the manufacturer’s waterproofing and installation guidance. Slight differences in shades and calibers should also be anticipated when planning grout joints and material quantities.

The manufacturer’s installation guidance addresses use in humid environments such as bathrooms and showers and calls for proper waterproofing of the substrate. Installation requirements should be reviewed before specifying the product for wet areas.

Should Biscuit look perfectly uniform?

No. 41zero42 notes that slight shade and caliber differences may occur as part of the collection’s artisanal visual character.

Is Biscuit suitable for floors?

No. Biscuit is identified as a wall tile.
