Carrollton, TX, December 19, 2006--Eliane will introduce Versatile, a multifaceted fully-rectified porcelain series with a range of finishings.
Versatile’s multifunctional porcelain tile is specially treated with satiny, polished or no slip surface finishings to offer a functional use in multiple environments. The slightly rough surface of a no-slip finish provides greater friction for indoor and outdoor spaces that require greater safety, such as areas prone to humidity. Polished surfaces are extremely pleasing to the touch, and offer a combination of shine and silk. Versatile’s satiny finish is a silky matte finish, typically coated on interior floors and walls.
Base colors of the Versatile series are Bianco, Beige, Grigio and Noce, all of which come in three fully-rectified standard sizes (11”x23”, 11”x11”, 17”x17”) and are coated with a no-slip, shiny or polished finish. Tiles can be purchased one square inch larger, and can be coated with either a no-slip or shiny finish. Complementing each base color are Oslo tiles (6”x6”), to add to the ambience of the environment.
Each base color has special composed items of varying sizes that are influenced by elements in fashion, like flowers, baroque traces and metallic effects. The Bianco and Beige series include eight tile listellos (3”x11”, 3”x12” and 2”x11”) and four decorative tiles (11”x23”, 6”x23” and 4”x23”). Special accessory items of the Versatile series’ Grigio and Noce tiles include decorative pieces with matching listellos, bullnoses and mosaic blends of Versatile’s base colors.
Eliane, recognized ceramic tile producers since 1960, employs approximately 2300 people globally and has a strong distribution network across North America.
