Why You Need Access Point™ Porcelain Tile in Your Design Arsenal

The Looks

Crossville’s®’s Access Point porcelain tile collection features today’s most sought-after looks, including concrete, travertine, and white marble visuals. In addition to offering beautiful aesthetics, these porcelain look-alikes are easier than their “real” counterparts to clean and maintain.

Concrete Look  Porcelain Tile

Concrete’s sleek, modern look is complemented by its smooth texture and minimalistic vibe. It’s versatile enough to fit into various design themes, from industrial to contemporary.

Travertine-Look Porcelain Tile

Travertine’s natural, earthy tones give it a classic, warm appearance. Its distinctive texture adds character and depth to spaces.

White Marble-Look Porcelain Tile

White marble is known for its luxurious and elegant feel. Its subtle veining adds visual interest without overpowering a space, and it’s often associated with high-end design.

Availability

Access Point porcelain tile is manufactured at our Crossville plant in Tennessee and is always in stock. With our Sample Express program, you can get free samples in just a couple of days. (Create an account here to get started.) With distribution across the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean, Crossville is committed to the quick delivery you need.

The Size

Large-format tiles have at least one side larger than 12 inches. Access Point porcelain tiles come in 12” x 24”, one of the most popular tile sizes. It has the same 1:2 ratio as subway tiles, and most people find that ratio pleasing to the eye.

These larger-format tiles help rooms feel spacious. While they’re great for enhancing the appearance of a large room, the right style will also look great in a smaller room.

The tile collection’s 12” x 24″ sizes are balanced with 2” x 2” mosaics and 4” x 24” bullnose pieces, all manufactured in Crossville, Tennessee.

The Price

Access Point porcelain tile is perfect for price-conscious design projects. The 12” x 24” unpolished products in this collection are part of our CrossValue™ Program of readily available budget-priced solutions of our best-selling lines that are deeply inventoried to provide our customers with readily available, high-quality porcelain tile.

Perfect for Your Sustainable Design Projects

When it comes to green design, porcelain tile is one of the most sustainable surface coverings on the planet—it’s created from dust, sediment, and often recycled porcelain, and best of all, it can be recycled.

While all porcelain tile is inherently green, all of Crossville’s U.S-manufactured tile products are also Green Squared® certified. Green Squared is the tile industry’s standard for sustainability. It involves one industry, one standard, and one mark and covers the gamut of products used in a tile installation. Green Squared covers product characteristics, manufacturing, end-of-product-life management, progressive corporate governance, and innovation in an effort to establish sustainability criteria for products throughout their full lifecycle. All of our Tennessee-manufactured products are Green Squared certified by SCS Laboratories.
