Archicross Stone Grey is stone seen in cross-section, in a cool mid-grey — fine veins wrapping around irregular mineral forms, giving the surface the depth and movement of a cut natural stone rather than a printed pattern.
The finish is the slip rating. Matt is R10 and Structure A is R11, the same grey stone in both, plus a pressed step tile. Matt for dry floors and walls, Structure A for a shower floor or wet room; the pattern is identical across both, so the rating can change underfoot without the floor changing appearance.
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. Grey is the easiest of the Stone colours to live with: it carries the veining without the contrast of the black or the warmth of the beige, so it works as a feature floor that a room can be built around rather than one that has to be worked around. Dry-lay and mix across boxes so the veining distributes 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.
