All six colors, Seashell, Midnight, Moss, Mother of Pearl, Mist, and Celeste create an intricate, handcrafted fabric look, full of motion and texture.

UNIFORM APPEARANCE Differences among pieces from the same production run are minimal. V1 V2 V3 V4 SLIGHT VARIATION Clearly distinguishable differences in texture and/or pattern with similar colors. MODERATE VARIATION While the colors present on a single piece of tile will be indicative of the colors to be expected on the other tiles, the amount of colors on each piece will vary significantly SUBSTANTIAL VARIATION Random color differences from tile to tile, so that one tile may have totally different colors from that on other tiles. Thus, the final installation will be unique. PACKAGING SIZES METRIC (CM) THICKNESS (MM) PIECES PER BOX SQ.

There are many reasons to choose impervious porcelain tile over other floor coverings. It offers the largest array of design options and holds its value the longest. In a comparison between the many different flooring options, porcelain tile offers one of the most durable and least expensive options over the lifespan of the building. Benefits of Porcelain Tile Impervious to water Easy to maintain Variety of design options Environmentally friendly Resistant to germs and bacteria Fade resistant Fire resistant Durable - best long-term value vs. other floor coverings HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR PORCELAIN TILE Sweep or vacuum regularly.
