Crossville’s Mixology Tile Replicates Cast Metal with 50 Percent Post-consumer Recycled Content

 

 

Crossville, TNCrossville® is previewing Mixology: a new metal line that’s been painstakingly crafted by Crossville artisans to replicate cast metal sculptural pieces as affordable and earth-friendly tile.  Each of the exquisitely wrought metal tiles contains a minimum of 50 percent post-consumer recycled content, making the line not only an attractive choice, but the responsible choice for our environment. 

 Seven field tile designs in two sizes – 4"x 4"and 6" x 6", plus 10 trim options and two random mosaics are available in four distinctive finishes, providing 98 pieces to “mix” and match for commercial or residential installations.  

 “Mixology was designed for interior, vertical applications,” states Frank Douglas, Crossville’s vice president of business development; “the tile and trim are especially suitable for accent walls and molding, ceiling trim, chair rails, window and door borders, countertop edging, backsplashes, showers and other wet interior wall areas, fireplace surrounds… and the list goes on.  

All tile and trim in the Mixology line are given a protective, clear coating to ensure a durable, virtually maintenance-free finish,” continues Douglas.  “Just a fraction of the weight of solid metal and considerably more affordable, the series cuts and installs as easily as porcelain or ceramic tile.”
