Retro Active Porcelain Stone Tile is New (Again)

Crossville, TN – Retro Active by Crossville® is a fashion-forward tile collection of updated retro colors in today’s most in-demand shapes and sizes. Sleek, clean and contemporary, Retro Active is Porcelain Stone® “tile that looks like tile.” On its own, Retro Active is ideal for minimalist design schemes in commercial and residential spaces. Or, it can be dressed up with glass and metal Accent Innovations™ by Crossville®.

The Retro Active series is available in two finishes, UPS and polished, and eight “oh, so retro” colors: Pure White (UPS finish only), Empress White, Featherstone, Maple Sugar, Seabreeze, Seal Taupe, Antico Taupe and Ebony. Plus, multiple sizes and shapes, including the popular plank, offer maximum design versatility: 3'' x 12'', 4'' x 12'', 6'' x 6'' and 6'' x 12'' tile sizes, with coordinating trim (UPS finish only) in a 4'' x 12'' Bullnose, a 2'' x 12'' Cove Base, and Inside and Outside Corners. Offered as part of Crossville’s extensive custom cutting program, Retro Active offers the appeal of custom tile without the industry’s customary long lead times; it is made to order and delivered within three to four weeks.

Laurie Lyza, Crossville’s Director or Marketing, sees “Retro Active’s minimalist look working well in all commercial and institutional venues, as well as upscale residential spaces such as urban, loft-type dwellings and luxury multi-family projects. It has a high coefficient-of-friction value and is recommended for interior floors, walls and countertops, and exterior walls in both commercial and residential environments.”

Selected and grouped to make creating that perfect retro look a breeze, the colors in the Retro Active series come from Crossville’s legendary commercial line, Cross-Colors®, designed by noted color consultant, Barbara Schirmeister. With 21 solids and 26 mingles, Cross-Colors come standard in 6'' x 6'', 8'' x 8'' and 12'' x 12'' sizes. Like the new Retro Active series, these may also be custom cut into a variety of popular plank sizes and several are available in 3'' x 3'' mosaics. In fact, many of Crossville’s most popular products are available in custom sizes – without the customary long lead times.
