Byzantine Porcelain Elysium Sculpted 60 x 120cm Porcelain - Imperial Luxury Reimagined Experience the opulent grandeur of Byzantine imperial palaces with our Elysium Sculpted Porcelain tiles, where ancient artistic mastery meets cutting-edge manufacturing technology in large-format luxury. Each 60 x 120cm tile features intricate sculptural relief patterns inspired by the magnificent decorative schemes of Constantinople, with raised geometric and floral motifs that create dramatic shadow play across surfaces. This premium porcelain combines the visual splendour of Byzantine architectural decoration with modern durability, featuring subtle metallic highlights and deep relief textures that transform walls and floors into three-dimensional artworks. The result is a tile that doesn't merely decorate but architecturally transforms spaces, bringing the timeless sophistication of Byzantine craftsmanship to contemporary interiors. Why Choose Byzantine Elysium Sculpted Porcelain? The Byzantine Elysium tile represents an extraordinary achievement in porcelain manufacturing, recreating the complex relief work that adorned the palaces and churches of the Byzantine Empire. Named 'Elysium' after the classical paradise, these tiles promise to transform ordinary spaces into heavenly sanctuaries through their sophisticated interplay of texture, pattern, and light. The sculptural element isn't merely surface decoration but deeply embossed relief that creates genuine architectural interest, with patterns rising several millimetres from the base surface to catch and modulate light throughout the day. What distinguishes our Byzantine Elysium is the sophisticated manufacturing process that achieves true sculptural depth in durable porcelain. Advanced pressing technology creates crisp, detailed relief patterns impossible in traditional ceramic production. The surface features complex geometric interlacing—signature Byzantine design—combined with stylised botanical motifs that soften the mathematical precision. Subtle metallic glazes in the recessed areas create depth and luxury, while raised surfaces may feature contrasting matte or polished finishes that emphasise the three-dimensional quality. The impressive 60 x 120cm format maximises the impact of the sculptural patterns while minimising grout lines that would interrupt the design flow. This large scale allows the Byzantine patterns to fully express their architectural grandeur, creating surfaces that read as carved stone panels rather than individual tiles. The porcelain construction ensures this luxury is practical—resistant to moisture, staining, and wear in ways that genuine carved stone could never achieve, making Byzantine splendour accessible for modern living.

The relief pattern adds complexity—ensuring patterns align perfectly across tiles while maintaining level surfaces. Use large-format adhesives with extended open time. Back-buttering essential for complete coverage beneath relief areas. The sculptural surface requires careful handling to avoid damage to raised elements. Levelling systems crucial for maintaining flush edges despite relief. Professional installation strongly recommended for optimal results. Substrate Requirements for Relief Tiles Absolutely flat substrates essential—relief magnifies irregularities Reinforced walls for 60 x 120cm weight plus relief thickness Waterproofing critical behind sculptured surfaces Allow for slightly thicker installation than flat tiles Consider weight loading—sculptured tiles heavier than flat Expansion joints essential for thermal movement Pattern Alignment Techniques The sculptural patterns require precise alignment: Dry-lay tiles to verify pattern flow Mark pattern reference points before installation Use laser levels for pattern continuity Maintain consistent joint widths for pattern integrity Consider lighting angles when positioning Plan cuts to avoid disrupting pattern motifs Grouting Sculptural Surfaces Special considerations for relief tiles: Use unsanded grout to protect raised surfaces Work in small sections for control Clean relief carefully—grout can lodge in patterns Consider contrasting grout to emphasise relief Seal grout lines in wet areas Allow extended drying time in deep relief areas Maintaining Sculptural Beauty The relief surface requires modified maintenance approaches. Vacuum with brush attachments to remove dust from recessed areas. Use soft brushes for detailed cleaning of relief patterns. Avoid harsh scrubbing that might damage raised elements. The porcelain surface resists staining but relief can trap dirt if neglected. Regular light cleaning prevents buildup in pattern recesses. Professional deep cleaning annually maintains sculptural sharpness.
