Crossville’s New Tuscan Clay Series Captures the Look and Feel of Hand-crafted Terra Cotta Tile in Multiple Sizes
Crossville, TN – Inspired by the casual elegance and warm ambiance of Italian country villas, Crossville® has married the old with the new to create the Tuscan Clay Series: Porcelain Stone® tile with the hand-crafted look and feel of terra cotta. What’s old are the four natural colorways, the strong (V4) color variations and the softly sculpted tumbled edges. What’s new is the technology that created Crossville’s Porcelain Stone, which is more durable than granite, refuses to scratch, stain or fade, and never needs sealing or waxing – unlike natural terra cotta. And newer yet is that Tuscan Clay is available in multiple sizes for uniquely personal floor, wall and countertop installations.
“Tuscan Clay has that mellowed by centuries of weather and wear look that today's consumer loves,” states Barbara Schirmeister, Crossville’s color and design consultant. “Its four contemporary colorways – Bianco (white), Rosso (red), Marrone (nut brown) and Grigio (dark petroleum grey) – were specifically selected with the American market in mind and they blend together beautifully.”
“Because Tuscan Clay is available in a wide range of sizes, including the popular new rectangular or plank shape, homeowners and designers of commercial projects – especially hospitality and specialty retail spaces – should find it easy to create inspiring floors, walls and countertops,” adds Laurie Lyza, Crossville’s marketing manager. “These ‘rooms of stone’ will have the strength and beauty of terra cotta – but not the expense, installation and maintenance issues inherent in natural terra cotta projects.”
The Tuscan Clay Series is available as 3' x 3', 3' x 12', 3' x 16', 4' x 4', 4' x 8', 8' x 8', 12' x 12' and 16' x 16' tile with a “tumbled” edge. Trim options include a 4' x 4' Bullnose Corner and a 4' x 8' Single Bullnose.
Crossville, Inc. manufacturers its award-winning Porcelain Stone®, Design Solutions™, and Accent Innovations™ for both residential and contract applications. Crossville® will “Elevate Your Space” by continual product, style and service innovation – now and in the future. Specifiers and owners can trust Crossville to perform.
