Penta Vanguard Java Matte is a cool slate-grey mosaic with smoky charcoal and soft silver variation, in a matte finish.
The colour is a cool slate-grey, worked with smoky charcoal and soft silver so it has bold, textured movement rather than reading as a flat grey, like natural riven slate. The matte finish keeps it soft and understated. Across a floor or wall it reads cool, modern and sophisticated, a mid-to-deep grey with silvery lights moving through it. It pairs well with timber, concrete, white joinery, black tapware, brass and both warm and cool schemes.

Where it works
Mosaic is a feature and detail material, and this cool slate-grey is the bold, textured neutral. It suits bathroom floors and walls, shower floors and niches, splashbacks and feature panels, where a cool, modern grey belongs, and it lines a pool or spa for a cool, understated water look. The small format and mesh backing make it a good choice for shower bases and curved or shaped areas, since the pieces follow a fall to the drain and wrap corners in a way sheet tiles cannot. The matte finish gives more grip underfoot than a gloss, which suits wet floors, and the mid-to-deep tone hides marking well. If this is a natural stone mosaic rather than glass or porcelain, it will want sealing and a bit of care, so that is worth confirming for the finish and use. The recommended applications are still being confirmed, so contact us and we can advise on the right fit for your job.
Choosing a finish
Available finishes: TBC
This one is a matte finish, which reads soft and natural, suits the slate look, and gives better grip underfoot than a gloss, so it works on shower and bathroom floors as well as walls. Mosaics come mesh-backed on sheets for easier laying. Grout colour makes a big difference with mosaic, since there is so much of it: a mid or charcoal grey grout keeps the cool, seamless look, while a paler grout picks out the pieces. A grout close to the tone is usually the right call here. If you are unsure which finish, backing or grout suits your project, give us a call and we can talk it through.
