Daltile LAUNCHES NEW CoLLECTIONS FEATURING CONTEMPORARY STYLING AND
POPULAR LINEAR LOOKS
Metro Leather &
Vibe series showcase some of today’s hottest design trends
Dallas, January 9, 2008
– Daltile, the largest U.S. manufacturer and distributor of ceramic
tile and natural stone, has introduced a number of new product
collections that feature many of today’s most popular design trends,
including a contemporary twist on a worn leather look and a clean,
modern pin-point design.
“With contemporary designs, beautiful
textures and interesting linear sizes, Metro Leather and Vibe are
some of the hottest products that Daltile has ever offered. Metro
Leather pairs the worn leather look with a cool cement-like visual –
mixing the iconic bomber jacket with a downtown edge. Vibe’s
pin-point visual is beautiful in its modern simplicity and lends a
clean, subtle texture to design projects,” said Matthew Kahny,
executive vice president of sales and marketing at Daltile.
“Additionally, each collection works equally well in residential and
commercial settings.”
New Product Introductions:
Metro Leather – Rectified, Glazed
Porcelain

Metro
Leather is a glazed porcelain tile that mixes the look of worn
leather with a cement-like visual to create a look that’s both warm
and contemporary – weathered bomber jacket meets trendy SoHo loft.
Its subtle movement and rich colors combine to create a
one-of-a-kind look that’s perfect for both residential and
commercial projects.
Metro Leather is available in five rich
colors (Milan Beige, Florence Russet, Hong Kong Brown, Paris Gray
and New York Noir) and five modular field tile sizes (20”x 20”, 13”x
13”, 13”x 20”, 6 ½”x 6 ½ and 6 ½”x 20”). All sizes and colors are
rectified, allowing tight grout joints for clean looks, and are
available in an unpolished finish.
A contemporary, linear 2 ½”x 13”
decorative accent combines two pieces of cut field tile with
metallic-glazed and luxurious crocodile-look pieces in color tones
that coordinate with the field tile. A full trim package, including
a 3”x 13” bullnose, 6”x 13” cove base and 1”x 6” corner, completes
the package. The decorative accent and all trim pieces are
available in each of the series’ five colors.
Metro Leather is suitable for floors,
walls, backsplashes and countertops in both residential and
commercial settings, as well as exterior floors (excluding pool
decks) and walls in freezing and non-freezing climate.
Vibe – ColorBody Porcelain

Vibe
is a very modern ColorBody porcelain floor tile that features a
textured, “pin-dot” visual with subtle veining for a dramatic, yet
sophisticated, look. Each of the series’ six contemporary colors –
Techno Beige, Techno Gray, Techno Green, Techno Bronze, Techno Brown
and Techno Black – is available in either an unpolished or light
polished finish. Vibe’s four modular sizes (12”x 12”, 18”x 18”, 12”x
24” and 24”x 24”) are rectified, allowing crisp, tight grout
joints.
A 2”x 12” decorative accent that
combines the field tile with metallic elements and circular patterns
is available in all colors and features a larger, more pronounced
“pin-dot” texture than the field tile, creating a highly textured
look. A 3”x 12” bullnose, 6”x 12” cove base and 1”x 6” cove base
outcorner complete the collection.
Vibe is suitable for floors, walls,
backsplashes and countertops in both residential and commercial
settings. It is suitable for exterior residential floors and walls
in freezing and non-freezing climates (unpolished finish only), as
well as exterior walls in commercial settings.
Cliff Pointe – ColorBody Porcelain
Designed to capture the essence of the
great outdoors with a rustic, textured surface and strong, rich
color palette, Cliff Pointe ColorBody porcelain tile is available in
two field tile sizes (12” x 12” and 18” x 18”) and seven warm,
versatile colors (Beach, Sunrise, Moss, Redwood, Rock, Mountain and
Earth).
Cliff Pointe’s complete trim package
includes a 3” x 12” bullnose, a 6” x 12” cove base and a 1” x 6”
cove base corner. Additionally, the collection was designed to
coordinate well with a number of decorative accents from Daltile’s
other product lines.
Cliff Pointe is suitable for floors,
walls, backsplashes and countertops in both residential and
commercial settings. It is suitable for exterior residential floors
and walls in freezing and non-freezing climates, as well as exterior
patios (excluding pool decks) and walls in commercial settings.
Ardesia Select – Line Extension:
ColorBody Porcelain (Professional Tile Solutions)
Three new colors – Sabbia, Oro and
Grigio Blu – have been added to the popular Ardesia Select series,
which features the look and clefting of natural slate. All six new
and existing colors are available three field tile sizes (12”x 12”,
18”x 18” and 6”x 6”), as well as a 3”x 12” bullnose.
Ardesia Select is suitable for floors,
walls and backsplashes in both residential and commercial settings.
It is suitable for exterior residential floors and walls in freezing
and non-freezing climates, as well as exterior patios (including
pool decks) and walls in commercial settings.
Café Crème Marfil – Natural Stone Line
Extension
Daltile has added Café Crème Marfil
marble to its collection of natural stones. This Indonesian marble
features a rich, neutral beige color that lends a versatile, elegant
look to design projects.
Café Crème Marfil is available in two
color options – Select, which features subtle visual movement and
light veining, and Classico, which features more veining and
variations within each tile. Café Crème Marfil comes in three sizes
(12”x 12”, 18”x 18” and 24”x 24”) and either honed or polished
finishes.
Additionally, slabs are available in
Café Crème Marfil Select in 2 cm and 3 cm thicknesses.
Granite Line Extension – New Colors:
Celestial Blue and Cosmos
Two exotic Brazilian granite colors have
been added to Daltile’s natural stone slab options: Celestial Blue
and Cosmos. Celestial Blue features wavy lines of blue, brown, gold
and beige, similar to patterns and color variations seen within the
mysterious Aurora Borealis (also known as Northern Lights).
Just as its name indicates, looking at
Cosmos is like looking into deep space at galaxies millions of light
years away – with cloud-like groupings of white, blue, green, beige,
brown and black.
Both highly-varied granite stone colors
are available in a polished finish and in 2 cm and 3 cm thicknesses.
