Crossville, Tennessee – Crossville recently announced two new manufactured tile collections: Civilization Collection and Native Metal Collection.
Civilization Porcelain Tile Collection
Inspired by the unique visuals and textures of basalt stone, the Civilization porcelain tile collection offers stunning visuals in light to dark colorways. From the depths of the ocean, volcanic activity rose to the surface, creating islands of basalt stone where some of the world’s earliest people formed great cities and governments. These early empires inspired Crossville’s new Civilization collection, a basalt-inspired line of porcelain tile. The smooth, fine-grained stone naturally varies in color from light to dark, and Civilization follows suit with six natural incarnations of basalt featuring unique crystalline visuals and subtle movement found in these unique rock formations.
“Capturing the beauty of natural stone, the Civilization collection offers a refreshingly unique porcelain collection that touches on the biophilia trend while also providing the performance qualities of porcelain,” explained Waldrep.
The Civilization collection is offered in six tones: Census, Populace, Communique, Currency, Power, and Legality. Offered in field tiles for residential and commercial applications, the collection includes semi-polished and unpolished options in a variety of sizes: 12” x 24”, 24” x 24”, and 24” x 48”.
Civilization’s mosaic options include a traditional 2”x2” mosaic and a unique polygon mosaic, and the trim package includes bullnose and cove base selections that provide a large range of application feasibility.
Carefully and responsibly made in the USA, the Civilization collection is suited for commercial or residential projects.
Native Metal Porcelain Tile Collection
The Native Metal porcelain tile collection is an innovative series offering unique metallic visuals and textures in durable porcelain tile.
Featuring six unique porcelain tiles finished with multiple glaze techniques, Crossville’s talented artisans fuse materials into a product made for the generations. In addition to the field tiles, resin wall accents formulated with real metals provide two rectilinear decorative pieces — waves and dots. And the collection offers designers more impact with unique mosaic options where porcelain and resin seamlessly combine into an extraordinary surface material.
“Native Metal captures the eternal luxury of patinaed minerals and ores in a refreshingly unique porcelain offering,” said Waldrep. “Through the multiple glazing techniques, the stunning visuals evoke opulence and richness with textures now available in porcelain.”
The Native Metal collection is offered in six tones: Noble Platinum, Nickel Plate, Crucible Steel, Copper Deposit, Cobalt Ore, and Graphite Black. Scalable field tiles for residential and commercial applications, the collection includes a variety of sizes: 12” x 24”, 24” x 24”, and 24” x 48”.
The Native Metal mosaic options include a traditional 2”x2” mosaic and a mixed hexagon mosaic where porcelain and resin are seamlessly combined. Additionally, the collection offers two decorative art rectilinear wall trim options in waves and dots in three stunning colors: Champagne Gold, Rubbed Bronze, and White Iron. The trim package includes bullnose and cove base selections that provide a large range of application feasibility.
Carefully and responsibly made in the USA, the Native Metal collection is suited for commercial or residential projects.
