Fresh by Agrob Buchtal

Collection Summary

Fresh by Agrob Buchtal is a glazed stoneware mosaic collection offered in 2.5 × 2.5 cm and 5 × 5 cm formats, approximately 1″ and 2″. Its extensive palette includes neutral, blue, green, violet, yellow, orange, red, metallic, and mixed colorways. Coordinated R10/B and R11/C non-slip mosaics distinguish Fresh as a color-focused collection designed to extend across decorative and performance-driven surfaces.

Design & Aesthetic

Fresh is centered on color rather than a simulated material look. The range includes quiet neutrals such as snow white, warm grey, taupe, and graphite alongside blues, greens, violet, yellow, orange, and red. Many colors are presented as tonal mixes, creating subtle gradations rather than a completely uniform field.

Agrob Buchtal specifically uses these gradations to introduce visual rhythm and distinguish selected areas from more homogeneous tile surfaces. The mosaics can also be used to articulate architectural elements such as columns, partition walls, and bar counters.

Material & Craftsmanship

Agrob Buchtal’s current technical article data identifies Fresh as glazed stoneware tile. Depending on the selected article, surfaces include glossy and matte finishes, with Hytect available across most of the manufacturer’s current Fresh article range.

Design Applications

Tile X Design lists Fresh for floors, shower floors, and walls, including submerged applications. Agrob Buchtal additionally categorizes the collection for bathrooms, pools and pool surroundings, showers and changing facilities, wellness and spa environments, hospitality, healthcare, education, retail, and other public applications.

The manufacturer has documented Fresh mosaics in swimming-pool surrounds, toddler pools, steam-bath seating and walls, demonstrating how color mixes can continue across adjacent functional surfaces when the appropriate slip-resistant article is selected.

Specifying Fresh

Fresh is available in 1″ and 2″ sizes. Finish and slip resistance vary by individual article. Agrob Buchtal lists both R10/B and R11/C products within the collection, but not every color and format is available in every rating.

Tile X Design currently lists Fresh as Special Order EU with an estimated 10–16 week lead time and recommends confirming current availability with a TXD representative.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Fresh be used to continue a color scheme from dry areas into wet areas?

Yes, when the appropriate article is selected. Agrob Buchtal offers coordinated non-slip mosaics and documents Fresh across pool, shower, changing, and wellness environments, allowing related colors to be specified across differing surface requirements.

Are all Fresh colors available in both mosaic sizes and slip ratings?

No. Agrob Buchtal’s current article listing shows that available combinations vary by color, size, and slip-resistance classification. Confirm the exact article before finalizing a specification.

How can the mixed colorways be used in a larger design?

Agrob Buchtal suggests using tonal gradations to accent selected areas or contrast with more homogeneous tiled surfaces. The manufacturer also identifies columns, partition walls, and bar counters as architectural elements suited to these color treatments.
