GDM.AWA tile

The three awards: Gardens of the Year 2025, Best of Interior 2021 and Houses of the Year 2021.

GDM.AWA tile recreates the look of classic herringbone parquet in fine, highly compacted concrete design tiles, suitable for both indoor and outdoor floor and wall surfaces.

The fine concrete tiles, available in four coordinated colours, offer a range of finishes, from subtle to striking. They are also suitable for use on floors and walls in both indoor and outdoor spaces.

For commercial projects, bespoke colour shades can also be produced to the designer’s specifications.

Carefully selected
raw materials

As a product made from natural raw materials and aggregates, GDM.AWA tile may exhibit slight variations in material thickness and final colour tone after curing – a testament to the quality of a handcrafted, one-of-a-kind piece.

These ultra-fine, refined exposed concrete tiles with a velvety surface are natural products, handcrafted at GODELMANN’s architectural concrete workshop. Each individual designer tile is cast by hand and cures over 24 hours without the use of additional energy. The terrazzo is then polished and sealed.

Colour ranges

GDM.AWA tile is available in four natural colourways: sand-beige, concrete-grey, warm-grey and basalt-grey. Each colour family comprises four subtle shades as well as two modern terrazzo variants, which can be combined in any way.

GDM.AWA tile combines design, durability and material quality to create a harmonious whole. For seamless transitions from indoors to outdoors and from floor to wall.

Formats

The six different-sized diamond-shaped formats can be playfully combined with one another or laid individually.

They allow high-quality concrete surfaces to be continued seamlessly, for example from the kitchen or living room onto the terrace or into the garden.

GDM.AWA tiles are genuine quality products, the result of a two-year development process. In addition to the dimensions of the formats, the focus was also on fine-tuning the colours.
