Crossville, TN – Urban Renewal by Crossville® combines the beauty of real metal accent and trim pieces with a dimensional composite body, which means that although it has the look of heavy metal, it’s actually lightweight and easy to install. And, in keeping with its name, Urban Renewal has a 50 percent post-consumer recycled content.

Its four exquisite finishes include Antique Satin, an antiqued bronze; Blacksmith Iron, a blackened iron grey; Aged Iron, actually rusted using a proprietary technique; and Bronze Verde, a bronze with a delicate verdigris patina. Each finish is available as 5-7/8' x 5-7/8' and 3-7/8' x 3-7/8' field tiles with a crackle design, as well as five Decos and 10 Listellos.

Designed by renown color forecaster, Barbara Schirmeister, ASID, DC, CAUS, for both commercial and residential installations, Urban Renewal’s tile and trim pieces may be used for an accent wall and molding, ceiling trim, chair rail, window and door borders, countertop edging, a backsplash, shower and other wet interior wall areas. All pieces are given a protective, clear coating to ensure a durable, virtually maintenance-free finish.

Crossville, a leader in the metal tile market, adds Urban Renewal to its metals program, joining Old World Metals, Patina Metals Series, Stainless Steel Series and more.
