Crossville’s Cotto Americana Offers Style and Affordability


December 15th, 2009

Crossville, TN – Cotto Americana by Crossville® is the ideal tile for today’s residential and commercial markets. Building on the heritage of the Crossville brand, this new series – made in the U.S.A. – features the legendary durability, style and functionality of Crossville’s Porcelain Stone® tile combined with the price-consciousness of today’s consumer. Cotto Americana offers the timeless appeal of traditional cotto tile with its random color variation, yet its contemporary palette, non-variegated edge and variety of sizes, including mosaics, provide a compelling solution for today’s American design landscape. “At home” in residential projects, it has the performance characteristics needed for commercial installations as well.

“As commercial projects are increasingly value-engineered and the residential focus shifts toward a new frugality, Cotto Americana was designed to fill a gap in the marketplace for high-fashion, moderately-priced porcelain tile,” states Laurie Lyza, Crossville’s director of marketing. “Designers and consumers alike no longer have to choose between style and affordability. In addition, Cotto Americana will retain its beauty for years and it is virtually maintenance free.”

Cotto Americana’s five design-friendly colors include Beige, Tan, Red, Brown and Black. It’s available in three field-tile sizes: 6' x 6', 12' x 12' and 18' x 18', plus 2' x 2' mosaics (mounted on a nominal 12' x 12' sheet). Plank shapes are also available through Crossville’s new Get Planked! Program, which offers a variety of plank sizes with no minimum order and a short lead time. Trim options include a 4' x 12' Bullnose and a 6' x 12' Cove Base.
