Habitat by Adex

Collection Summary

Habitat by Adex is a ceramic wall tile collection defined by multi-tone glaze, surface variation, and coordinated glossy and matte finishes. Six colors—Cloud, Alabaster, River Blue, Leaf, Pewter, and Graphite—are available across rectangular and square field formats, with additional trim and molding pieces in the broader collection.

Design & Aesthetic

Habitat uses a restrained palette moving from pale neutrals through blue, green, pewter, and graphite. The defining visual quality is the interaction between its wavy or uneven surface and high-variation glaze. Glossy surfaces emphasize reflected light and glaze depth, while matte versions offer a softer reading of the same colors.

Because corresponding colors are available in both finishes, designers can introduce contrast through sheen rather than changing color. Tile X Design assigns Habitat a V3 variation rating.

Material & Craftsmanship

Habitat is a ceramic wall tile with a multi-tone glaze. Tile X Design describes the surface as uneven and wavy and identifies the collection as V3 variation. Adex characterizes Habitat specifically as a multi-tone glaze collection.

Design Applications

Habitat is suitable for walls. Adex’s project and inspiration pages show Habitat used in bathrooms, showers, and kitchens, supporting use for applications such as shower walls, backsplashes, and other interior wall surfaces when installed according to manufacturer guidance.

Specifying Habitat

Tile X Design lists 2.5 × 5, 2.5 × 10, and 5 × 5-inch field options, with additional sizes represented in the Tile Details data. The tiles are approximately 7.5 mm thick and carry a V3 variation classification.

Finish selection is a meaningful part of the specification because all six primary colors are represented in glossy and matte versions. Designers should sample the chosen color and finish combination when glaze variation or reflected light will materially affect the installation. Habitat is a special order in the U.S. collection with an indicated 7–12 week lead time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main difference between glossy and matte Habitat tile?

The color palette remains coordinated, but the surface finish changes how light interacts with the glaze. Glossy versions emphasize depth and reflection, while matte versions provide a softer surface appearance.

Should Habitat’s color variation be expected across an installation?

Yes. Habitat is a V3 collection, and Adex describes it as a multi-tone glaze. Sampling multiple pieces is useful when evaluating the amount of tonal variation expected in a finished surface.

Can glossy and matte Habitat tiles be used together?

The same six colors are offered in both finishes, making mixed-finish layouts possible within the collection. Final combinations should be reviewed with physical samples because sheen affects how the colors read under project lighting.

Is Habitat a floor tile?

No, Habitat is for wall applications only.
