Crossville Inc. has announced the launch of Owen Stone porcelain tile collection, the company’s latest line embracing the natural elements and expanding the brand’s offerings that answer the biophilia trend.
Notably, this innovative collection features a new leathered finish, a first for Crossville. The finish is achieved by running diamond-tipped brushes across the fired tile. The result is a surprisingly soft feel with tremendous visual richness yet no compromise of DCOF and technical performance standards for the commercial-grade porcelain surfacing.
In addition to the leathered finish, Owen Stone is offered in an exterior finish that allows for visually seamless installations from inside to out and answers the unique demands of outdoor application.
The Owen Stone collection is offered in six dark-to-light colors, named to convey the softness of the texture — Teddy, Sable, Mittens, Slipper, Bunny and Down. Generous field tile sizes include the large format 24 by 48 inches, as well as 12 by 24 and 24 by 24 inches. All are rectified for high-end installations indoors and out. Rounding out the offering are two mosaics, bullnose and covebase. This impressive trim package provides a large range of application feasibility – from demanding commercial installations to residential interiors.
Responsibly made in the U.S., Owen Stone is Green Square Certified, making it a responsible selection for interior and exterior walls and floors for commercial or residential projects. The line is covered by the brand’s porcelain tile EPD, HPD, Declare Label and sustainability report—all of which can contribute to LEED, Well, LBC and other green building rating systems.
