Olive, eucalyptus, sage, curry, tonka bean, pepper...

…not a new favorite recipe, but the latest trend colours from the CERSAIE 2024 tile show for porcelain stoneware, natural stone and, of course, matching accessories, fittings and tile profiles.

Among other things, the new collections for the DURAL tile profile selection 2025 were presented for the first time.

“COLOUR YOUR STYLE” is the Dural concept for 100% colour-fast, insensitive powder coatings in fixed RAL colours and will surprise with three new styles from January 2025:

Functional style” with metallic effect in copper, bronze, gold, graphite, titanium and classic “non-colours” black & white.

Country style” with natural, earthy-warm colours from light beige to green tones to chocolatey “delicacies”.

And last but not least, the “must-have” urban gray tones for timeless nuances such as concrete looks and understated “urban style” designs.

And since profiles & systems for balconies, terraces, steps, stairs and stilt laying are more in demand than ever, DURAL is also focusing on 20 mm porcelain stoneware slabs to extend the “living room feeling” and meet the demands of the growing outdoor area trends.

The latest addition to the balcony angle profiles is the Dural top seller for end edge coverings and pedestal installation DURABAL BO in light ivory. Particularly elegant tone-on-tone with travertine slabs or light-coloured porcelain stoneware.

DURABAL BF is a smart new development: the 2in1 balcony/patio edging profiles for 2 covering heights. With a simple 180° turn, it can be used for 20 mm terrace slabs or 10 mm porcelain stoneware. The second version is designed for 34 mm slabs or 10 mm tiles. Available in silver anodized or in modern RAL 7016 anthracite powder-coating.

The new “invisible” black DR 100++ drainage mat with conical drainage studs and practical 3-row overlap for easy laying is suitable for all types of installation – from direct laying, with pedestal support. Perfect water drainage in the direction of the slope and a shear-resistant connection ensure a dry and weed-free “underground”.

As a mat specialist, we also have a new Durabase CI-H decoupling mat for floor and wall heating systems on board; designed to accommodate all commercially available electrical heating cables from 2 to 4.5 mm. A large-scale installation with Devi by Danfoss was in operation at the trade fair. A recommendable product alliance – easy to install with a large selection of thermostats/controllers – from simple rotary controls to app-controlled versions.
