With downtime and maintenance as top concerns, especially in hospitality, healthcare, and multi-family projects, Crossville’s porcelain tile panels can quickly transform a tired space into something eye-catching and fresh that will stand the test of time. The larger size of the tile combined with the thinner profile results in the possibility for tile-over-tile installations, and without demolition, reduced labor costs.
Crossville’s porcelain panels are huge—a single 1 x 3-meter panel can cover up to 30 square feet, resulting in a seamless look thanks to fewer grout lines. But it’s the thickness, measured in mere millimeters, that gives these tiles the unique ability to be laid over existing tile or brick surfaces. This trait offers a significant advantage for renovation projects as it eliminates the need for demolition and removal of the old material, reduces the labor involved, contains cost, and minimizes construction waste. Another plus is that it gives businesses the ability to stay in business with little to no downtime. For these reasons, it’s no surprise that this trend has really taken hold in commercial and residential projects.
