Fluted Tile Collection brings texture, rhythm, and architectural depth to interiors through distinctive linear and ribbed surfaces. Inspired by classic fluted detailing, these tiles create an elegant three-dimensional effect that adds visual interest while maintaining a refined, contemporary aesthetic.
Discover fluted tiles designed to bring texture, dimension, and modern architectural character to every space.
Fluted tile carries a ribbed relief across its face, so a plain wall picks up bands of light and shadow that shift as the sun moves. Everything in this range is ceramic and rated for walls, in formats from 3x12 up to 13x36.
Incurve is the deepest profile — a 6x12 red body ceramic with a rounded flute, offered in dark blue, light blue, teal, turchese, sage, green, brown, caramel, rust, red, marble, mist white and linen white. Groove is the finer 3x12, a vertical groove in white sugar, olive, brown, green, burgundy and a semi-matte metallic.
Larger formats run 12x24 through 13x36 with fewer joints across the wall. 12x24 covers Dover Graphite, Burano White Lines, Velvetia Wood, Plain Stone Beige and Reflection in navy and white. 12x30 adds Tasmania Gray and two Liberte Wood faces. 12x36 brings Metallic in steel, rust, white and beige alongside Nark in beige and white, and 13x36 covers Vero Geo White, Cadence Fluted Ivory and Ventura Wood Dark.
The effect depends entirely on light. A fluted wall lit from the side, by a window or a wall light, shows deep shadow between the ribs; lit flat from the front it nearly disappears. Decide where the light comes from before choosing profile depth — Incurve's rounded 6x12 reads stronger than Groove's finer 3x12. Ribs are directional, so settle early whether they run vertical, which lifts a low ceiling, or horizontal, which widens a narrow room. Cutting through a ribbed face leaves an uneven edge, so plan the layout to end on a full tile or finish into trim.
These are wall tiles: backsplashes, bathroom and shower walls, kitchen walls and covered outdoor walls. Fluted works best on one wall rather than four — a single ribbed plane behind a vanity or a bath does more than a whole room of it. For relief and texture beyond ribs, see 3D wall tile. For the flat version of the same 3x12 shape, see subway tile. $1 samples ship, or compare the profiles in person at the Colts Neck NJ showroom.
