  • PermaStone Luxury Vinyl Flooring Tile
  • REMODELING Magazine (1/1/2008)
  • Blending the look of river rock, marble, and ceramic tile, GemStone is the newest addition to the Nafco PermaStone luxury vinyl tile series. Available in colors including pearl, smoky quartz, jade, jasper, amethyst, and alexandrite, the 16-inch square tiles achieve the look of a grouted floor with 1/8-inch grout lines from the GroutFit system. A urethane finish and embedded wear layer discourage scrapes, scratches, and wear. The pattern carries a 20-year warranty for residential use. 800.227.4662.
  • MirabelloNafco Adds Patterns to Top Permastone Collection
  • ebuild (7/11/2007)
  • Nafco by Tarkett has introduced two patterns--Mirabello and Washed Travertine--to its top-selling PermaStone luxury vinyl tile collection. Both include warranties for 20 years on residential use and five years on light commercial use. All Nafco products are made in the U.S.A. Washed Travertine, in Cashew, Butternut and Tobacco, is reminiscent of the limestone used to build some of the world's most magnificent buildings, such as the Coliseum's arcades in Rome. Unlike its fragile namesake, which scratches and stains easily, Nafco's Tritonite system, which is a urethane finish with ceramic micro spheres, protects the tiles from scratching, scuffing and wear and is easy to maintain.
