The Tarifa collection by STN Cerámica is a series of flooring that combines rustic aesthetics with modern functionality. Its tiles in 33.3×33.3 cm format offer a classic and robust style, ideal for interior spaces looking for a warm, cozy and characterful atmosphere. The matte finish provides naturalness and softness to the touch, while the rustic texture reinforces the artisanal feeling. Available in shades such as beige and grey, Tarifa adapts to both traditional and contemporary decorations, offering a versatile base for distributing light, contrasts and textures.
Square format of 33.3×33.3 cm: A fairly balanced size that allows you to cover surfaces easily, reducing cuts, and favors both regular arrangements and more varied compositions. It is neither too big nor too small, which makes it easy to install indoors of different dimensions.
Pavement (ground use): It is a ceramic designed to be placed on the ground, so it has adequate performance for moderate domestic or commercial traffic. Its structure and composition ensure that it withstands frequent footsteps, constant cleaning and usual conditions of use without deteriorating quickly.
Rustic finish: The rustic texture adds character to the flooring: slight irregularities, a more natural look, a feeling of stone or clay, which give visual depth. This provides visual resistance against wear and tear or the passage of time, as it conceals imperfections, light scratches and accumulated dirt.
Matte finish: As they have no shine, Tarifa tiles avoid annoying reflections, which helps in spaces with a lot of natural or artificial light. In addition, the matte effect tends to hide light stains, footprints, and facilitates maintenance that does not depend on polishes.
Material: porcelain stoneware / high-quality ceramic paste: Although not always explicitly detailed, Tarifa uses resistant and well-fired ceramic materials, which withstand wear and tear, changes in humidity or temperature, and frequent cleaning. The technical characteristics of STN guarantee good durability.
The Tarifa collection is mainly presented in two neutral tones – beige and grey – which makes it an extremely versatile option for different decorative styles. Beige brings brightness and warmth, evoking the naturalness of light stone or traditional terracotta, while grey adds a contemporary and sober air, perfect for modern or industrial environments. This chromatic duality allows for very wide combinations: it blends harmoniously with noble materials such as wood, with the metallic shine of steel or wrought iron, with textiles made of natural fibres in earth tones, and even with green accents of indoor plants that enhance its rustic aesthetic.
One of the most remarkable technical qualities of Tarifa is its R10 rating in slip resistance. This grip nivel ensures additional safety in frequently used indoor areas, where occasional humidity may exist, such as kitchens, bathrooms or entrances. Although it is not specifically designed for high-traffic exteriors or permanently wet areas, it does offer the peace of mind of a stable and safe floor in everyday life. This makes it a practical and aesthetic option, where functionality adds to the rustic design.
Each piece in the Tarifa collection presents notable chromatic variations, classified as V3 (moderate to high variation). This means that each tile can have different nuances on its surface, reproducing the richness and naturalness of artisanal materials such as stone or terracotta. This effect breaks the visual monotony and generates a dynamic floor with its own personality, where each installation is unique. Intentional shading adds realism and reinforces the rustic character, ideal for those looking for a more authentic and natural finish.
With an approximate thickness of 10 mm, the Tarifa collection is designed to withstand the usual traffic of interior spaces without compromising its integrity. Its robust ceramic structure ensures stability against the weight of furniture, appliances or common household loads, and effectively withstands wear and tear from daily use. This ensures a long service life, reducing the need for premature replacements and ensuring that the flooring retains its original aesthetics for many years to come.
Tarifa's aesthetic proposal revolves around the rustic and artisanal feeling, evoking traditional terracotta floors or natural stone worked by hand. This quality makes it the perfect choice for those who want spaces that convey warmth, comfort and closeness. In living rooms, it provides a homely and cozy air; in kitchens, a Mediterranean or country style stands out; and in bathrooms, it reinforces a natural and relaxing environment. In addition, its timeless design makes it easy to combine with modern decorative elements, creating a balance between classic and contemporary.
