For many reasons, porcelain tile is a superior surfacing material for both commercial environments and homes. Porcelain tile surfaces endure for ages (giving them a lower life-cycle cost than many other flooring and wall surface options), they are low-maintenance (as low as it gets in the surfacing world), they are healthy (no VOCs to harm you or the environment, inhospitable to bacteria and mold), and they are inherently green, making them a preferred choice for many sustainable design projects for office, healthcare, education, hospitality, and residential sectors.
In addition to all the positive traits that porcelain tiles embrace, tile is also the best surface for mimicking so many beautiful natural materials that are scarce, costly, hard to source, difficult to maintain, and non-sustainable. Tile technology has come a long way over the years, making it possible for tile designers to imitate anything found in the natural world, and often, to a convincing degree. Some lookalike tiles are so realistic you would have to touch them to know for sure, but with the textures that manufacturers can inject into porcelain tiles now, even a touch test can leave you wondering if a tile is real or faux.
Looking for the perfect faux finish for your floor and wall surfaces? Crossville’s got you covered with tile solutions that cover the gamut of looks from sophisticated and elegant marble and onyx to earthy natural stones like basalt, slate, sandstone, limestone, and travertine, plus an array of tile collections inspired by natural wood, cement, and even textile.
Let’s continue with the “Crossville Faux Show” and take a look at these beautiful doppelgängers interpreted in durable, affordable, and sustainable porcelain tile.
