Description
Discover Zen Elegance with Equipe Miyako Porcelain Tiles
At Local Tile Co., we bring you curated surface solutions that bridge international design traditions with modern technical performance. The Miyako Series by Equipe Cerámicas is a sophisticated tribute to traditional Japanese artisan pottery and hand-glazed ceramics. This collection honors the beauty of imperfection, featuring subtle structural textures, irregular edges, and rich shade movements that mimic manual kiln firings. Miyako brings a sense of quiet luxury, calm, and architectural rhythm to contemporary Canadian interiors.
What sets the Miyako collection apart is its extraordinary visual variety. The series is engineered with a massive amount of graphic diversity, offering up to 88 distinct faces in the matte finish and 50 unique faces in the glossy finish. This means that when installed, no two tiles side-by-side look exactly the same. The organic shading creates a fluid, living surface that captures and reflects light beautifully, whether you choose a clean neutral tone or a rich, moody accent shade. [1]
Spanish Engineering with High-Density Porcelain Strength
While historical hand-molded tiles are often delicate, porous, and limited strictly to low-use walls, Equipe has reimagined this look using premium high-density porcelain stoneware made in Spain. This advanced composition ensures a completely non-porous tile that rejects water absorption, soap scum, grease, and household stains. It is entirely safe for high-moisture zones, including direct shower environments and busy kitchen backsplashes. [1]
Unlike standard ceramic wall tiles, Miyako’s tough porcelain body means it is sturdy enough for residential floor applications as well. The collection is highly scratch-resistant and requires no special sealers or intensive ongoing upkeep—simply wipe clean with standard, non-acidic household cleaners. It also provides excellent thermal conductivity, making it an ideal choice to pair with radiant in-floor heating systems to keep your spaces warm and cozy all winter long. [1, 2, 3]
Modular Sizes for Custom Layout Designs [1]
The Miyako series is available in two highly versatile, compact formats designed to encourage creative layout patterns:
- The 2″ x 6″ (5 x 15 cm) Formats: A classic, slender subway footprint. This size is exceptional for creating intricate herringbone patterns, vertical stacked bonds to make ceilings feel taller, or traditional running bonds on bathroom walls and niche details.
- The 4″ x 6″ (10 x 15 cm) Formats: A unique, blockier modular shape. This footprint works beautifully across residential floors, mudroom entryways, and expansive backsplashes, offering a clean yet distinctly artisan aesthetic.
