The Boost World is a conceptual space developed by Italian tile specialists Atlas Concorde for the exploration of urban textures. It’s an investigation into how the co-existence of different elements combines in original harmonies that define cohesive contemporary spaces.
Boost Mineral, exclusive to Italtile, melds two urban stories: the warmer shades of oxidation and the effects of exposure, enhanced by the cooler component of trowelled stone. This understated yet distinctive stone-look porcelain tile will elevate modern and contemporary spaces with a more expressive interpretation of metropolitan minimalism: a fluid, graceful energy rather than a stern, brutalist muscularity. High design, exceptional digital graphic effects, and sustainable credentials make Boost Mineral a Signature Range.
The making
The Boost Mineral range has been mechanically cut – rectified – to achieve precise, uniformly straight edges and consistent dimensions. Each tile is the same size. Boost Mineral will therefore allow very tight grout joints, with grout lines as narrow as 1.5mm, to create a modern, sleek tiled surface and a space with a continuous, unbroken flow.
While each tile appears subtly different, moderate variance from tile face to tile face, with a V3 rating, gives Boost Mineral a cohesive and balanced overall look, with the tiles working together to achieve a homogenous feel.
Atlas Concorde achieves a highly authentic remastering of natural, organic surfaces, but the mastery of the art of tile making can really be seen in under-the-skin engineering. The Boost Mineral range features Atlas Concorde’s unique Sensitech.
In the evolution of safer tile surfaces, Sensitech pushes the boundaries of hi-tech slip-resistant tiles to create a surface with high slip resistant performance. Boost Mineral boasts an exceptionally velvety finish that is pleasantly soft to the touch, rather than rough or abrasive, as is the case with many traditional slip-resistant tiles.
Boost Mineral boosts the normally industrial attitude of an urban environment with unexpected comfort. Boost Mineral carries Italtile’s LiveGreen label for class-leading green ratings in energy efficiency, waste management and environmental health.
The range
Boost Mineral by Atlas Concorde is a 1200x1200mm matt rectified porcelain stone-effect tile with impressive creative, manufacturing and sustainable credentials that elevate it from everyday luxe to a Signature Range. This is an investment tile designed to offer years of pleasure, with an excellent ROI. Boost Mineral is available in three fascinatingly varianced stone shades: White, Pearl and Tarmac. Boost Mineral is 100% Italian and exclusive to Italtile.
