Advantages of Embedded Porcelain Stone® for Exterior Cladding

When used in conjunction with our exterior cladding systems, Crossville's Porcelain Stone offers clear and measureable advantages over traditional masonry. Among them are decreased construction costs, less site disturbance, low to zero maintenance after installation and accelerated construction schedules. Porcelain Stone is also stronger. Crossville's exterior cladding system creates a monolithic structure with 5,000 psi strength.

Sustainability
|
From the first tile Crossville produced in 1986 to the most recent to come off the production line, each has been manufactured in a sustainable manner. Our proprietary recycling systems divert approximately 12 million pounds of pre-consumer waste from landfills each year to create third-party certified recycled products.

Installation Process
|
The exterior cladding process utilizing Crossville’s Porcelain Stone® is simple, efficient and effective, and significantly reduces construction time. This efficient process allows more than 100 square-feet to be
laid out per hour. Clean up is also a time-efficient process. All that is required to clean Porcelain Stone-embedded panels is pressurized water; no chemicals or scrubbing required.
