Crossville's New Character Series Tile is BIG News in BIG Sizes

06/01/2006
Crossville, TN - Architects and designers looking to make a BIG design statement have some BIG new puzzle pieces to play with. Crossville® introduces the Character Series of Porcelain Stone® tile - an urban minimalist look with a slight hint of stone, offered in a giant 24'' x 24'' square tile, plus an 18'' x 18'' square and a 12'' x 24'' rectangle. All have through-body color and rectified edges that may be set with tight grout joints. "The large squares and rectangle in the Character Series have a refined, yet edgy appearance," states Laurie Lyza, marketing manager for Crossville, Inc. "Commercial designers of corporate, hospitality, restaurant and retail environments have been asking for a new look in large-scale minimalist tile. Character maintains the sleek appearance demanded by monolithic design schemes, yet its surface texture is softened by the merest hint of veining found in natural stone."

More durable than natural stone

Character's colorways also set it apart. Most minimalist looks have not offered lighter colors; Character is available in Vanity Almond (a light almond tone) and Joy Beige, as well as Arrogance Black, Liking Green (an olive tone) and Loyalty Moka (a warm brown). An additional option is a Single Bullnose, which is available in all colors. And to customize a Character installation, designers and homeowners may select glass, metal or stone accent tiles, borders and trim from Accent Innovations™ by Crossville®.

The Character Series is slip resistant, more durable than natural stone, refuses to scratch, stain or fade, never needs sealing or waxing and cleans with just hot water.

Now celebrating its 20th year, Crossville, Inc. manufacturers its award-winning Porcelain Stone®, Design Solutions™, and Accent Innovations™ for both residential and contract applications. Crossville® will "Elevate Your Space" by continual product, style and service innovation - now and in the future. Specifiers and owners can trust Crossville to perform.
