Some surfaces whisper, others genuinely shine. The PGVT Collection by Capron Vitrified is built entirely around that second idea – a glossy, mirror-like finish that “amplifies depth and color, creating a surface that feels rich, vibrant, and timeless.” It’s one of Capron’s largest ranges, with 97 designs spanning everything from quiet, earthy stone tones to bold, gold-veined statement marbles.
What Is PGVT?
PGVT stands for Polished Glazed Vitrified Tile – Capron’s fully glossy, high-shine finish designed to “transform interiors into a luminous, luxurious environment.” The surface is smooth, polished and visually reflective, bringing a refined sense of grandeur wherever it’s installed.
Every design in the collection comes in a large 600x1200mm format with a glossy finish rated above 95° on the glossmeter scale, and random face patterns ranging from Random-3 to Random-5 depending on the design – keeping large installed areas from reading as an obviously repeated pattern.
Two Sides of PGVT: Understated and Statement
PGVT’s 97 designs fall broadly into two design directions:
Natural, earthy tones – warm beiges, soft greys and gentle stone textures described by Capron as “a harmonious blend of warm tones and delicate texture, crafted to elevate interiors with understated elegance.” This group includes families like Armoni, Belish, Clayrish, Comiso, Dyna Ever, Jio Stone, Luxana, Marbella and Sofrito.
Bold, premium marbles – dramatic veining, onyx-inspired patterns and metallic gold or copper detailing for spaces that want a genuine showpiece surface. This includes families like Antiq Gold, BM Black Gold, BM White Gold, Luxurious Gold, Lighting Gold and Smoke Statuario.
