Touché by Edimax

Collection Summary

Touché by Edimax is a porcelain tile collection designed to recreate the depth and veining of natural quarried marble while delivering the durability and low maintenance of porcelain. The collection is offered in three colorways — Zebre, Jade, and Rubis — across a range of field tile sizes, a textured Plissé format, and several coordinating mosaic patterns, giving designers a single palette that can move between a feature wall, a floor, and a mosaic accent within the same project.

Design & Aesthetic

The defining character of Touché is its elegant veining and soft surface movement, intended to read as authentic quarried marble rather than a flat stone print. Its three colorways correspond to the collection’s broader black-and-white, green, and red tonal families, giving a range from understated monochrome to more saturated jewel tones within the same design language. Beyond the flat rectified field tile, the collection includes a Plissé format built with 3D Shaped Technology — a manufacturing process that gives the tile surface a sculpted, dimensional texture rather than the collection’s standard flat surface, useful where a wall or accent area calls for more visual movement than a flat field tile provides.

Material & Craftsmanship

Touché is a coloured-body glazed porcelain tile, produced with rectified edges on its field sizes and cut edges on select formats, in a Natural/Matte surface finish. It is Made in Italy. The collection carries a V3 shade variation rating, and Edimax’s installation guidance recommends mixing tiles from multiple boxes before laying, to achieve a balanced blend of tone across the finished surface.

Design Applications

Touché is specified for floor, shower floor, and wall installations, and its structured categories point to common uses including bathrooms, kitchens, feature walls, fireplace surrounds, and commercial spaces. The collection’s own description also notes coordinated indoor-outdoor applications, though the specific application tags list floor, shower floor, and wall rather than an outdoor-rated use — worth confirming directly for any exterior scope (see notes below).

Specifying Touché

Thickness is 9 mm across the collection. Edimax’s installation guidance recommends a minimum 2 mm grout joint and, for rectangular formats, a staggered (running-bond) layout offset by no more than 1/4 of the tile’s length.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Touché rated for shower floors?

Yes — shower floor is one of the collection’s listed applications, and its DCOF rating above 0.42 with an R9 slip resistance rating support use in wet, barefoot-traffic areas.

What does the V3 shade variation mean for a large installation?

A V3 rating signals that pieces will show noticeable tone and pattern differences from box to box, which is why Edimax’s installation guidance calls for blending tiles from multiple boxes before laying, rather than installing box by box.

How is the Plissé format different from the standard field tile?

Plissé uses 3D Shaped Technology to give the surface a sculpted, dimensional texture, while the rest of the collection ships with a flat surface — a useful distinction when choosing between a flat marble-look field and a more textured accent in the same colorway.

Can Touché be used outdoors?

The collection’s frost resistance is guaranteed and its description references indoor-outdoor applications, but the published application tags list floor, shower floor, and wall without a separate exterior rating — confirm exterior suitability and any required slip class with your Tile X Design or Edimax representative before specifying it outdoors.

How should grout joints and layout be planned?

Edimax recommends a minimum 2 mm grout joint and, for rectangular formats, staggering tiles by no more than 1/4 of the tile’s length, which keeps veining patterns from repeating in an obvious grid.
