Nordika – Northern European Stone-Inspired Porcelain Tile Collection

The Nordika Collection by Emilceramica brings the raw beauty of Northern Europe’s sedimentary stones into contemporary interiors and exteriors. By replicating the distinctive fractured faces of layered rock formations, Nordika offers surfaces with three-dimensional dynamism that feels both natural and sophisticated.

Inspired by Northern landscapes

Nordika draws directly from the textures and colors of Northern European stone.

• It emphasizes the typical stratification and natural clefts of sedimentary rock, creating depth and tactile interest.

• Subtle, continuous lines and layered details add a soft yet dramatic effect to floors and walls.

• The collection focuses on uniform color palettes that deliver visual harmony while showcasing the material’s inherent character.

Moreover, Nordika balances austere minimalism with inviting warmth, making it ideal for diverse design languages.

Refined color palette for modern spaces

Nordika offers three carefully selected shades:

• Dark: For strong, contemporary statements with bold contrast.

• Grey: A timeless neutral with understated elegance.

• Sand: Soft and natural, bringing warmth and approachability.

In addition, these shades are calibrated to ensure seamless integration with other design materials like wood, metal, and concrete.

Extensive formats for flexible design

Nordika provides a versatile range of formats to support countless applications:

• Standard sizes such as 60×120 cm, 90×90 cm, 45×90 cm, and 60×60 cm for floors and walls.

• Decorative mosaics (3×3 and 10×10 cm tesserae) allow for intricate detailing and feature walls.

• 20 mm-thick 50×100 cm outdoor slabs designed for patios, pathways, and terraces.

This variety ensures modular planning for residential or commercial settings, enabling cohesive transitions between interiors and exteriors.

High technical performance

Nordika doesn’t just deliver aesthetic appeal—it also excels technically:

• ≤0.1% water absorption for low porosity and easy maintenance.

• High flexural strength (≥2000 N for 9.5 mm, ≥12000 N for 20 mm), guaranteeing robust performance in high-traffic areas.

• Certified R10–R11 slip resistance, ensuring safety in wet environments.

• Frost resistance and chemical resilience make it ideal for harsh climates and commercial settings.

Therefore, Nordika meets the highest architectural standards for residential, commercial, and public projects.
