It was a decision to bring to life the unique beauty of oxidised metal within the confines of porcelain stoneware that led Cercom to produce their latest collection, Temper. Maintaining the many qualities of tempered steel – durability and reliable resistance to everyday use – Temper offers it’s own selection of features.

Specifically, a high level of control that ensures a consistency in the five colours offered – Coal, Iron, Frost, Argent, Golden, and Rust – each with a proud place in popular modern architecture and interior design. These colours provide levels of atmosphere, shifting along the borders of industrial chic.

The collection is offered in a Natural surface finish as well as Grip 11, making it ideal for use both indoors and out in both commerical and residential settings. Three thicknesses with corresponding tile formats extend the range’s versatility; 8.5mm thickness (800 by 800mm, 1,000 by 1,000mm, and 500 by 1,000mm), 10mm thickness (1,200 by 1,200mm, 600 by 1,200mm, 600 by 600mm, and 300 by 600mm), and a 19mm thickness (600 by 1,200mm, and 1,000 by 1,000mm).


The decorative abilities of the range are fully realised in the three mosaic options (Mosaico Intreccio, Mosaico Metallic, and Mosaico Bricks Mix), as well as Inserto Mixes in both Silver and Bronze, the textured surfaces of Decoro Weld Silver and Bronze, and metal intert decors Inserto Temper, available in each of the six colours.
