Unique Mosaics | Tile by Style
Platform is a metallic look that was inspired by aged metal plates. The graphic includes oxidation marks and calcium deposits that would appear on metal cladding over time as it was exposed to the elements. The surface has some texture, with matte areas enhanced by puddles of sheen. The really eye-catching feature of this line is the rich color palette. Each color has a mixture of hues, including both cool and warm tones, that combine to create a final look that is appealing and accessible while also being modern.
Windermere combines a gently undulated surface with exquisite glazes to create a final look that is opulent and full of depth. The 2 Whites - Glacier (Glossy) and Chalk (Matte) - are opaque and allow the surface structure to take center stage, creating a look that is more interesting than a flat white tile. The other 6 colors have translucent glazes that create variation as they pool on the surface and vary in shade from piece to piece. In addition to the 3x9 size, there is the Diamondback Mosaic made from oblong hexagonal pieces with a three dimensional surface; each piece has an off-centered point that creates lines and shading as the translucent glazes pool on the surface. The pieces are then mounted randomly to create the distinctive Diamondback pattern. They make a stunning accent but are even more exciting if used in entire areas..
The aesthetic of Stonecloud is simple without being plain. Inspired by volcanic lava, the graphic has subtle shading and small mineral spots. The result is something that has depth and interest without adhering to an identifiable pattern. The color palette includes attractive neutrals, a clean white, and a rich, deep blue. All five colors are stocked in two finishes, Natural and Embossed, each enlivened with important details. The Natural finish is not completely flat and has matte and shiny areas that reflect the light in different ways. The Embossed finish has a delicately raised linear structure that has a pleasant worn effect, creating a structured porcelain that is still easy to clean.
Elios Slate is a porcelain with a realistic slate look, giving us the grandeur of Mother Nature’s beauty but with the technical advantages of porcelain material. With its rectified edges, the Slate line avoids being overly rustic, allowing customers to use the material in a variety of design concepts. The realism and depth of color will add a richness to any installation. All colors have the characteristic movement of real slate, while some colors have wider shade variation than others.
The Tibur series was inspired by Jerusalem stone, a well-known limestone that has been used for centuries. This porcelain version has some special details that make it especially interesting. Even though it is a rectified tile, the edges are gently chiseled. The surface is also not completely flat; it has some undulation and some areas of indentation to give the feel of old stone. The semi-polishing of the Vintage finish creates a unique effect on the undulated surface and has a soft “rubbed” feel to it. The mosaics - a Herringbone in the Vintage finish and the Intreccio Mosaic in the Natural finish - make this line a complete package.
