Marazzi Introduces Series: VESALE STONE

For Immediate Release June 20, 2006
Description: VESALE STONE by Marazzi USA captures the look of refined slates found in the ancient hills of Italy and transports that simpler, organic building material to glazed porcelain for modern dwellings and public areas. Asynchronous glaze applications create dramatic pattern diversity.

Asynchronous glaze applications create dramatic pattern diversity.

Rich tonal ranges and dramatic streaks suggest the characteristic layers and clefting of natural slate while the surface remains flat and easy to clean. A final granular frit application enhances slip resistance and textural appeal.

Modern, fresh, clear earthtones in beige, brown, grey and green with straight edges banish conventionality. Modulars in 6-1/2 x 6-1/2 and 10 x 20, mesh-mounted mosaics in three (3) incremental sizes (1x1 Square, 2 x 2 Square, and 2 x 3-1/2 Diamond) and SBN cut from field tile expand the functionality and design capabilities of the series.
