Fume Product Story

Specify Fume in Natural (R10) for interior floors and walls, including bathrooms and commercial areas; Structured (R11) for the same, as well as terraces and balconies; and Grip (R11) in 20mm for garden paving and raised pedestal systems, so the colour carries from interior to exterior. Available in thicknesses from 6mm to 20mm, and the collection can contribute to BREEAM and LEED assessments.

Specifying Fume

Can Fume run continuously from interior to exterior?

Yes. Natural and Structured suit interior floors and Structured and Grip suit terraces and balconies, so the same colour carries across the threshold. Grip is available in 20mm for garden paving and raised pedestal systems. Surface texture differs between finishes, so review samples of each side by side.

What is the largest format of Fume?

The largest format is 1200 × 1200mm (1.44 m² per piece), available in Natural. 7 sizes are available in total, from 300 × 600mm to 1200 × 1200mm.

Which finish of Fume should I specify for each area?

Based on each finish's slip rating, thickness and format:

  • Natural (R10, 6/8mm) — all interior floors, including wet, high-traffic and commercial areas; interior walls.
  • Structured (R11, 8mm) — all interior floors, including wet, high-traffic and commercial areas; interior walls; exterior: balconies and patios on a solid base.
  • Grip (R11, 20mm) — exterior: balconies and patios on a solid base, garden paving and raised pedestals.

What thicknesses are available, and what are they for?

  • 6mm (Natural) — lightweight wall and floor installations.
  • 8mm (Natural and Structured) — interior floors and walls.
  • 20mm (Grip) — exterior paving, including garden and raised pedestal installations.

What does Fume weigh?

Check substrate and fixing requirements for wall cladding, upper floors and furniture. By thickness:

  • 6mm — 14–14.1 kg/m²
  • 8mm — 17.4–17.8 kg/m²
  • 20mm — 45.5–45.8 kg/m²

Are there matching special pieces or decors?

Yes: special pieces (Mosaic (Chip Size 50x50mm) and Skirting Tile) and decors (Weave). Sizes and finishes are listed in the Sizes & Finishes table.

What sustainability credentials does Fume have?

Fume can contribute to BREEAM and LEED building assessments and meets EU Ecolabel, GREENGUARD and NSF requirements. Supporting documentation is available on request for project submissions.

Can I order samples?

Yes. Samples are available in Natural, Structured and Grip. Use the Order free sample button to choose the finishes you need.

Fume is suitable for projects that require a continuous floor colour across interior and outdoor spaces. The 600 × 1200, 600 × 600 and 300 × 600 formats are made for both, so layouts and joint lines can continue straight through.

Structured V2 (slight variation), V3 (moderate variation)
Grip V3 (moderate variation)
Shade variation ratings V1 to V4 compared

Shade variation describes how much colour, tone and pattern differ from tile to tile in the same batch, from V1 (uniform appearance) to V4 (substantial variation). Lay out tiles from several boxes before fixing to see the full range.

Slip Resistance

Urbe Fume has been slip tested using the DIN 51130 ramp test. Results by finish:

FinishR ratingSlip resistance
Natural R10 Normal
Structured R11 Good
Grip R11 Good

R ratings run from R9 (minimal slip resistance) to R13 (very high). They classify how a surface performs in the ramp test and are not the angle a floor can safely be laid at. Ramp test (DIN 51130) and pendulum test (BS 7976-2) certificates are available on request.
