Iro by Edimax

Collection Summary

Iro reinterprets the timeless charm of concrete, refining an essential material with a sophisticated and welcoming allure. The palette spans six contemporary shades, paired with a soft, pleasant-to-the-touch texture and delicate nuances along the tile edges. The collection is produced in porcelain and offered across a wide range of formats, from large-format rectified panels to mosaics and trim pieces, giving specifiers flexibility across a single project.

Design & Aesthetic

Iro’s six shades run from light to dark and are named Loto (White), Washi (Beige), Akoya (Grey), Miso (Ochre), Kyusu (Moka), and Raku (Black), allowing the same concrete-inspired look to be specified in warm or cool, light or dark iterations depending on a space’s mood. The soft touch and subtle edge nuance keep the finish from reading as flat or overly uniform, closer to how cast concrete varies in real installations.

Material & Craftsmanship

Iro is a porcelain tile with a Natural finish and a shade variation rating of V1, indicating a slight, controlled variation between pieces rather than a dramatic shade shift. Technical performance includes water absorption below 0.5%, a modulus of rupture of 43 N/mm² or greater, and resistance to thermal shock, frost, staining, and chemical exposure — the combination that qualifies porcelain of this type for both interior and select exterior use.

Design Applications

The specification is rated for interior floors and walls, and for exterior walls, making it suitable for indoor-outdoor continuity on vertical surfaces such as a kitchen backsplash that wraps to an exterior wall feature, while floor use stays interior. The available skirting, step, and angular step pieces support clean transitions at floor-to-wall junctions and stair nosings within the same visual family.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Iro be installed outdoors?

It’s rated for exterior walls but not exterior floors, so it works for outdoor vertical applications such as a cladding accent, while floor installations should stay indoors.

Is Iro suitable for wet areas like showers or bathroom floors?

Its stain and chemical resistance plus a DCOF above 0.42 support wet-area use, and the sub-0.5% water absorption limits moisture uptake, though local slip-code requirements should still be checked for the specific finish and grout joint used.

Are all six colors available in every size and decor option?
