Kerinox by Casalgrande

Collection Summary

Kerinox by Casalgrande Padana is a porcelain stoneware collection defined by spatula (troweled) and metal effects. It comes in four colors, Bianco, Sabbia, Grigio, and Antracite, and three complementary surfaces: natural, lappato (semi-polished), and satin. Tile X Design offers 24×24″ and 35×35″ squares at 10 mm. Casalgrande Padana pairs a natural finish for interiors with an anti-slip finish for exteriors, so the same look can run from inside to out.

Design & Aesthetic

Kerinox combines the hand-applied movement of a troweled surface with a metallic sheen, giving a refined, modern look with a tactile quality. The four-color palette is tightly neutral: Bianco and Sabbia for lighter, warmer rooms, Grigio and Antracite for cooler, deeper schemes. The finish choice changes the effect: lappato brings out reflection, satin softens it, and natural keeps the surface most matte. Tile X Design lists V2 variation.

Design Applications

Casalgrande Padana positions Kerinox for homes, buildings, commercial architecture, and high-traffic venues such as hotels and restaurants, naming kitchens, bedrooms, living rooms, and bathrooms. Tile X Design lists the collection for floors. A typical scenario is a hotel lobby or restaurant floor in natural or satin finish, continuing outdoors in the anti-slip version. Skirting (3×24″ and 3×35″) and step and corner trims (24×13″ and 35×13″) are offered.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Kerinox finish should I choose for a restaurant floor?

Casalgrande Padana recommends the natural finish for interiors. Lappato and satin add sheen; confirm their slip ratings against the project’s requirements before using them on busy floors.

Can Kerinox by Casalgrande Padana continue from inside to a terrace?

The manufacturer pairs a natural interior finish with an anti-slip exterior finish for visual continuity. Confirm the anti-slip version and its sizes with your representative.

Is Kerinox a concrete look or a metal look?

It combines both: the surface shows spatula (troweled) texture with a metallic effect. Casalgrande Padana describes it as metal-effect porcelain.
