Quarziti – Natural Quartzite-Inspired Porcelain Collection

The Quarziti Collection by Mirage reinterprets the timeless appeal of natural quartzite stone in high-performance Italian porcelain. Inspired by the layered, organic complexity of real stone, Quarziti offers architects and designers an elegant, durable, and versatile solution for contemporary and classic spaces alike.

Inspired by the essence of natural stone

Quartzite is valued for its depth, subtle variation, and enduring strength. The Quarziti Collection carefully reproduces these characteristics using advanced ceramic technologies:

• Authentic color shading recreates the veining and tonal variation found in natural rock formations.

• Each tile captures fine details of sedimentary layering, adding visual depth and richness.

• Mirage’s design philosophy emphasizes realistic, understated elegance that supports a wide range of architectural styles.

Moreover, Quarziti is designed to blend seamlessly into both indoor and outdoor settings, offering a consistent design language throughout the entire project.

A sophisticated, neutral color palette

Quarziti offers five refined colors that echo the muted beauty of quarried stone:

• Glacier: Cool, pale tones for modern, minimalist spaces.

• Mountains: Deep, earthy greys that evoke rugged alpine landscapes.

• Waterfall: Soft, flowing greys with gentle veining.

• River: Balanced, neutral tones that bring calming warmth.

• Mantle: Rich, darker hues delivering understated drama.

In addition, these colors feature moderate shade variation (V2–V3) that avoids flatness and repetition, creating natural, authentic surfaces.

Flexible modular formats

Quarziti supports creative freedom through a wide range of modular sizes:

• From 150×150 mm mosaics to 600×1200 mm large slabs, all calibrated to enable seamless installation patterns.

• Standard formats like 300×600 mm, 400×600 mm, and 600×600 mm support balanced compositions.

• EVO_2/E™ 20 mm outdoor paver version available in all colors and key sizes (600×600, 450×900, 300×600, 600×1200 mm) for patios, pool decks, and terraces.

Therefore, designers can maintain consistent materials across floors, walls, and even outdoor environments.

Refined natural surfaces

Quarziti’s NAT SQ surface finish embodies the authentic matte feel of stone:

• Subtle textures mimic natural clefts and hand-split details.

• R10 and R12 slip resistance options support safe use in wet zones, commercial spaces, and exteriors.

• The EVO_2/E™ 20 mm variant delivers reliable outdoor performance with frost resistance and high mechanical strength.

Moreover, Mirage’s advanced manufacturing guarantees consistent quality, ensuring every batch maintains precise calibration and color accuracy.

Superior technical performance

While Quarziti emphasizes natural aesthetics, it offers best-in-class technical qualities:

• ≤0.1% water absorption for minimal porosity and high stain resistance.

• High flexural strength exceeding 2400 N for 9 mm tiles and up to 12,500 N for 20 mm pavers.

• Frost and thermal shock resistance for outdoor use in extreme climates.

• Chemical resistance and easy cleaning, making it ideal for high-traffic commercial environments.

• Certified under EN 14411-G porcelain standards for dimensional precision and long-term durability.

As a result, Quarziti is not just beautiful but built to last, even under demanding conditions.

Sustainable Italian production

Mirage manufactures Quarziti entirely in Italy with a focus on environmental responsibility:

• 100% of wastewater is recycled and reused in production.

• Raw waste is recovered and reintroduced into the manufacturing cycle.

• Advanced kilns and energy-efficient systems reduce CO₂ emissions.

• Packaging uses recycled materials to support a circular economy.

• Strict quality controls ensure consistently sustainable and safe products.

By choosing Quarziti, designers support environmentally conscious production without sacrificing design quality.

Ideal for diverse applications

Quarziti is perfect for a wide range of applications:

• Residential: Bathrooms, kitchens, living rooms with natural, refined stone looks.

• Commercial: Hotels, retail spaces, offices that demand durable, elegant surfaces.

• Outdoor: Patios, terraces, pool decks using the 20 mm EVO_2/E™ system for safe, slip-resistant paving.

• Feature walls and facades: Large-format options provide seamless, sophisticated cladding.

Moreover, the consistent palette and modular sizing ensure harmonious transitions between different zones of the project.
