Ilva and D&B Tile Distributors Sign Distribution A

Coconut Grove, FL, October 20, 2006--Ilva S.A., leading Argentinean producer of porcelain tile, recently teamed up with Harold Yarborough to make Ilva’s industry leading products available at D & B Tile Distributors, one of the largest tile distributors in the United States. With nine locations in Central and Southern Florida, D & B Tile Distributors now offers Ilva’s Oxide, Pietre Traventine, Crema Marfil and Pietra Patagonica tile series to buyers in yet another convenient location. Ilva’s high quality products created with advanced and unique technology make Ilva a leading competitor in the international market. “Ilva has some exciting new products,” said Harold Yarborough, vice president/general manager of D&B Tile. “But they have exciting products that have become classics, too. One of the best things about Ilva is that its tile always has perfect coloration. It’s partly due to the manufacturing process but also because of the unique designs. We feel Ilva’s products appeal to a wide variety of clients, from residential remodelers to commercial clients, as well as our architectural and design orientated client base. There is just a lot of potential there.” D & B Tile Distributors will continue the success of one of Ilva’s most recently released product, the Oxide series. This glazed porcelain tile combines the striking elements and rustic appearance of the natural world with indoor practicality to create comfortable and appealing high-end décor. “It’s a unique finished product,” says Yarborough. “That’s what we saw. It looks like it would be a rough stone, but actually it’s very smooth. It’s a real rustic looking tile with lots of depth to it.”
