Ca’ Pietra has added two new floor ranges, Abbey and Lacock, to its National Trust collection, extending the offer for retailers looking to balance heritage aesthetics with practical specification. The collection continues to draw on familiar British interior references, particularly materials and layouts historically used in kitchens, pantries and bathrooms, while providing formats suited to modern installation expectations.
Abbey (Pictured above and below left) is a small-format porcelain designed to replicate the softened appearance of aged stone floors without the servicing requirements associated with natural material. A subtly textured surface and replicated tumbled edges allow retailers to present a traditional look in projects where durability and ease of maintenance are key selling points, particularly in family kitchens and high-use circulation spaces.
From a merchandising perspective the range offers flexibility. The 25 x 25cm squares in Dove and Ivory can be sold individually or combined for a chequerboard floor, while the 3.8 x 38cm brick format produces a parquet layout that introduces pattern through installation rather than strong colour contrast. Because the tiles are porcelain and do not require sealing, the product provides a straightforward specification for customers wanting heritage styling without ongoing treatment.
Lacock (pictured below) sits alongside Abbey as the natural stone option within the same design language. The tumbled limestone is described as a softer interpretation of a heritage finish, with eased edges and visible fossil character that gives variation across the floor. The material is offered in a 60 x 60cm format and a random flagstone layout, allowing retailers to present either a more ordered or more relaxed installation depending on the project style.
As a genuine limestone, Lacock requires sealing, making it suitable for customers specifically seeking natural material and prepared for associated care. Positioned next to the porcelain Abbey range, it gives showrooms a clear upsell pathway from low maintenance heritage look through to authentic stone.
