Crossville, TN -- Crossville® introduces Savoy, a clean-lined, architectural wall tile that recalls an elegant era when unique tile installations were considered the ultimate status symbol -- when tiles were handmade and subtle variations in size and glaze only increased their timeless beauty. Available in a variety of sizes, patterns and well designed trim pieces to provide unlimited design flexibility, Savoy comes in five rich colors: White, Linen, Blush, Sea Mist and Café. The lighter shades have an opaque glaze, while the darker ones have a transparent glaze that adds depth and luminosity. Slight shade variations (V1 and V2) in both the field tile and trim only add to their handmade quality.

'Savoy's rich look, combined with its competitive price point and consistent availability should make it attractive to both the residential and commercial design oriented markets,' says Jim Dougherty, vice president of marketing and business development for Crossville. 'Residential applications include bathrooms and showers, kitchen backsplashes, accent walls and light-duty countertops. Commercial applications include vertical surfaces in hotels, restaurants, specialty shops and luxury retail establishments.'

Savoy is available in 3' x 6' and 6' x 6' field tiles, and a 6' x 6' beadboard that may be used as a field tile or accent tile and installed horizontally or vertically. - more - Savoy wall tile What makes Savoy unique is the 1' x 2' Pinwheel Pattern and the 1' x 2' Running Bond or Brick Pattern, both sheet-mounted for easy installation.
