Archicross Concrete Grey is the closest thing in the range to an honest poured-concrete floor — sand grains and rock fragments scattered through a neutral grey ground, with fine multi-coloured lines running across it like cracks in a slab. If the brief is industrial without being a pastiche, this is the one.
The finish is the slip rating. Matt is R10 and Structure A is R11, the same grey in both, plus a pressed step tile. Matt for dry floors and walls, Structure A for a shower floor or wet room, with the pattern identical across both so the rating can change underfoot invisibly.
What “structure” actually means here. Structure A is not a printed effect — the surface is physically raised, a fine dense grain you feel under a bare foot, closer to fine grit paper than to a smooth kitchen wall tile. That relief is what produces the grip, and it holds dirt in the texture rather than releasing it to a flat mop.
Laying it. The colour is fired through the body, so a chipped edge does not show a pale core. This is the workhorse grey of the range: enough scatter to hide traffic in a hallway or a commercial corridor, neutral enough not to fight anything else in the room. Mix across boxes as you lay so the fragments distribute evenly. Every format covers 1.43 m² per box at 26.6 kg — a 6 m² floor is five boxes with the usual ~10% cutting allowance. Rectified edges take a 2 mm joint; suits underfloor heating.
