Crossville’s Cross-Sheen® is an integrated finish that makes it simple to remove scuffs, stains, and most graffiti from the surface of tile to which it is applied. By creating an advanced, easier-to-clean tile surface, Cross-Sheen allows for fast removal of unsightly marks using only mild cleaner, resulting in hassle-free cleaning and long-term performance of your Crossville tile.
Unlike expensively applied, non-permanent anti-graffiti coatings, Cross-Sheen is incorporated directly into the surface of the tile, so it will never scrape off or wear off. Made in the USA to stringent specifications, Cross-Sheen is a beautifully advanced solution for exterior and interior walls and interior flooring in residential or commercial applications. Cross-Sheen may be specified for nearly all porcelain tile products offered by Crossville, Inc.
Of course, the simple removal of unsightly marks is the Cross-Sheen’s ultimate advantage, but let’s look at the additional benefits that this proprietary finish provides.
Time-savings
Efficient time management is critical for property owners, facility managers, and the maintenance and janitorial teams that work to keep facilities clean and looking their best. With Cross-Sheen finish integrated onto tiles for interior and exterior spaces, those who are responsible for keeping surfaces free of marks are assured as time efficient, simple clean-up and removal of even challenging scuff and defacement. In the business of building maintenance, time is truly money, and Cross-Sheen helps reclaim time for staff members who are constantly busy and don’t have minutes to spare.
No need for extreme or harsh chemicals
Facility managers know the dangers that harsh chemicals can cause not only to their employees but also to the spaces they are cleaning. Cross-Sheen allows defaced or scuffed tile surfaces to be cleaned thoroughly with commonly used cleansers that are not extremely harsh. This is a great benefit for members of cleaning and maintenance crews who must be hands-on in maintaining surfaces, as exposure to harsh chemicals is not desirable. It’s also a benefit to constituents who use the spaces that must be cleaned, as the odors of harsh chemicals can cause reactions and is not desirable.
Longevity of tile surfaces
Tile surfaces that can be kept free of scuffs, stains, and marks such as graffiti won’t require replacement or updating like tiles that can never be fully cleaned when scarred or defaced. Thus, Cross-Sheen, permanently protective because it is integrated into the tile surface, really can extend the life of the installed tile because it makes it possible to keep the surfaces looking great for the long-term. Tiles that can never be adequately cleaned will suffer from compromised appearance over time; Cross-Sheen prevents this issue for the tiles to which it is applied.
