Crossville launches Color Blox: It's all about color
July 21st, 2005
Crossville, TN -- Crossville's new Color Blox brings the next generation of color design to architects, designers and homeowners alike as it celebrates the enduring power and infinite possibilities of color. Color Blox is a porcelain stone® tile that's saturated through and through with a choice of 20 evocative colors to inspire the artist in us all.
Color Blox is ALL ABOUT COLOR: The combinations are endless, with hues that range from color-infused neutrals and darks, such as silvery 'Slinky', ivory 'Sand Box', bluish-black 'Night Night', and dark lime 'Mr. Green Jeans', to out-and-out fun colors like 'Yellow Brick Road', 'Limeade', 'A Day at the Beach' blue, and 'Caboose' red. In addition, the palette was designed to coordinate with multiple carpet products from Bentley Prince Street, a color and design leader in the carpet market. And Crossville's own Accent Innovationsª offers a full complement of glass, metal and natural stone tile, trim and borders to accent Color Blox.
So, start thinking out-of-the-blox: create your own flooring masterpiece with a pattern of multiple sizes and colors, or accent a basically solid floor with blocks of color -- then tie it all together with a coordinating Bentley Prince Street carpet in a neighboring area.
To maximize the versatility of Color Blox, the smooth, unpolished (UPS), minimalist surface texture is further softened by (V3) shade variations from tile to tile, which imparts an almost handcrafted look and makes the tile easy to color-match with other finishes and furnishings. Plus, the 3/8' thick tile is available in three sizes -- 6' x 6', 12' x 12' and 18' x 18', with matching 4' x 12' Single Bullnose and 6' x 12' Cove Base trim in all colors.
Because Color Blox is a Crossville porcelain stone® tile, it is more durable than natural stone, slip-resistant, easy to clean and maintain, never needs sealing or waxing, and is an environmentally responsible product.
'Color Blox should be a natural for commercial designers, particularly those doing hotel, restaurant, healthcare, educational and retail projects,' says Jim Dougherty, vice president of marketing and business development for Crossville, Inc. 'And since its great mix of colors works with all styles of décor and architecture, it should also be popular with the color-conscious residential consumer. Throughout the country, designers, consumers -- all of us -- are searching for ways to bring more color into our lives. Color Blox is Crossville's response.'
Founded in 1986, Crossville, Inc. is the largest domestic manufacturer of large-size porcelain stone® tile for both residential and contract applications. Crossville will 'Elevate Your Space' and keep elevating it by continual product, style and service innovation -- now and in the future. Specifiers and owners can trust Crossville to perform.
