- Tropical seascape is one of three new tile designs with a tropical paradise theme. The style comprises four unique, deep-relief, hand-painted, 5-inch-by-8-inch tiles, each depicting a different view from a tropical shoreline. The tiles have been designed to be interchangeable for mixing, matching, and creating extended borders for a panoramic view. A smaller 3-inch-by-6-inch single border tile called Distant Shores depicts a palm tree-lined shore. 800-325-3945.
- Oxide Tile Collection

- A 23 1/4-inch-by-23 1/4-inch, color-body rectified porcelain tile, the Oxide collection (pictured in the Argilla color) has a high variation in shading from tile to tile. The rich color and the reflections of oxidized metal add character and a sense of luxury, the maker says. The Timber series (pictured surrounding the bath tub in the Limba canvas color) is a 16-inch-by-16-inch ceramic tile inspired by wild, exotic African regions. 800-688-5671.

- Serengeti Slate
- Journal of Light Construction (10/16/2008)

Mannington's Serengeti Slate offers the look of slate without the problems. According to the maker, the porcelain tiles are durable and easier to clean than slate. They come in 6x6-, 12x12-, 18x18- and 12x24-inch sizes, plus two mosaic and several bull-nose styles. They cost about $4.50 per square foot. 800/482-9527.
