Extragres 2.0 by Casalgrande

Collection Summary

Extragres 2.0 by Casalgrande Padana is a range of 20 mm monolithic porcelain stoneware slabs designed mainly for outdoor paving. The slabs are rectified and square-edged with a non-slip surface. Rather than one look, Extragres 2.0 brings together the 20 mm versions of twelve Casalgrande series, including Country Wood, Pietra Baugè, Pietre di Paragone, Petra, Le Ville, Manhattan, and Metropolis, in sizes from 16×47″ to 48×48″. Its flexibility of installation (on grass, gravel, sand, screed, or raised supports) is the key differentiator.

Design & Aesthetic

Extragres 2.0 lets an outdoor surface carry the same design language as the interior. Tile X Design groups the program under wood, stone, concrete, and terrazzo looks, drawn from twelve series: Amazzonia, Chalon, Country Wood, Kerblock, Le Ville, Manhattan, Metropolis, Nature, Petra, Pietra Baugè, Pietre di Paragone, and Pietre di Sardegna. Several share names with interior collections, such as Country Wood, Pietra Baugè, and Pietre di Paragone, so a terrace can continue an indoor floor. Tile X Design lists hammered and textured surfaces and V3 variation, so expect a natural, varied appearance across a terrace.

Material & Craftsmanship

The slabs are monolithic 20 mm porcelain stoneware, precisely squared and rectified. Tile X Design’s description attributes high hardness and resistance to external stress to the production process. The range is made in Italy and tagged sustainable.

Design Applications

The Tile X Design description lists terraces, beaches, gardens, pathways, and urban areas. Installation options shape the design scenario:

• Dry-laid on sand, gravel, or grass without screed or mortar, for garden paths and stepping routes.
• Bonded with ceramic adhesive on a conventional screed, for patios and terraces.
• Raised on fixed or adjustable polypropylene supports, creating a floating floor with space underneath for utilities, as on roof terraces.

Specifying Extragres 2.0

• Choose the series first: colors, sizes, and surfaces differ by series, and slip ratings are published per series rather than for the program.
• Thickness: 20 mm throughout; plan transitions where Extragres 2.0 meets 9–10 mm interior tile.
• Installation method: select dry-laid, adhesive, or raised support early, since it affects substrate, edge detailing, and drainage design. Follow Casalgrande Padana’s technical guidance for each method.
• Variation: V3; review samples of the chosen series.
