Crossville Inc. has announced the introduction of its Sahara Noir porcelain tile panel. Inspired by Tunisian black marble found on the cusp of the Sahara itself, these panels are crafted to replicate the characteristic rich black of the base and the distinctively striking bright orange and white veining of the appearance. The line is made in Italy by Laminam and stocked in the United States.
The Sahara Noir porcelain tile panels are an impressive 1200 by 3000mm (47 ¼ by 118 7/64 inches) size format that is wider than traditional porcelain panels and available in the 5.6mm thickness suitable for interior and exterior walls, counters, furniture and flooring in dry interior spaces. Mesh backing provides enhanced strength and durability for use on floors and walls in commercial or residential settings.
This collection is produced by Laminam in Italy using leading-edge production techniques and represents the progression of today’s porcelain tile possibilities. The clarity and crispness of the multi-colored veining provides exceptional visual depth.
Though Sahara Noir beautifully captures marble’s appearance, the durability of the new Crossville panels stand in contrast to natural marble’s more tender qualities. The porcelain tile panels offer a durable, non-porous, sustainable solution suitable for most interior and exterior applications in both commercial and high-end residential markets.
