View Corso | Italian Porcelain Tile
Corso is a porcelain interpretation of travertine with a subtly rustic appeal. The graphic includes the characteristic movement of travertine, including charming imperfections and small areas of fill. It has a slightly chiseled edge but it’s a rectified material, so customers can get different aesthetic results based on what grout joint size they prefer. It comes in two warm colors that are trending and are perfectly appropriate for a travertine look.

Usage and Installation Information
Corso is suitable for residential to light and moderate commercial applications. To attain the proper mix of graphics and color it is important to pull from multiple boxes during installation, rotate pieces, and note the placement of the different images to get the proper final blend.
Most Italian manufacturers recommend a maximum offset of 8” (20cm) on all large format tiles when setting a running bond. Please refer to ANSI requirements for setting large format tiles (ANSI A 108.2 Section 4.3.8). There are special setting requirements and materials for large format tiles. Please refer to the TCNA Handbook and guidelines by your mortar manufacturer for more information.
The Dynamic Coefficient of Friction is a general guide only. Testing may vary with different production runs and with different testing labs. As noted in the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) the coefficient of friction varies considerably due to facts not under the control of entities such as the manufacturers and distributors. These factors include, but are not limited to, contaminants, slope of terrain, drainage conditions, adjacent surfaces, etc. Suitability for any installation can only be determined by a site examination of all conditions that could affect the slip resistance of the tile being installed. Continual cleaning and maintenance must be performed once the tile has been installed.
