06.23 NEWSLETTER: New Collections + 2023 AIA Conference on Architecture

ITALIAN TERRACOTTA SK1N CLADDING

An innovative rainscreen system that serves as an alternative to traditional wood shingles, our terracotta SK1N tiles are fired at over 2000 °F and contain less than 0.1% of organic matter.  This designates them as a Class A1 fire rated product and a non-combustible building material.

Our corresponding Long Format Corso Brick with nominal face proportions of 1.5" x 20" offers the same fire resistant properties.  Both SK1N and Corso Brick are available in a wide range of colors and textures which further enhances their flexibility and potential on both residential and commercial projects.

NEW PORCELAIN : TACTILE COLLECTION 

Along with our selections of natural stone, terracotta, roof tiles, wood, and other high quality building materials, we have begun working with several unique and curated collections of porcelain. Porcelain is no longer simply a natural stone alternative, but rather an innovative way to achieve new looks, textures, and durability throughout residential and commercial projects. 

One of our first collections to introduce is TACTILE, consisting of wall tiles available in 2 sizes, 3 finishes, 5 colors, and infinite design combinations.

A simple line whose many repetitions add up to strong visual impact. The graphic element, with its strong tactile suggestions, wraps a space in elegance; its stark formality evokes unexpected sensations.

2023 AIA CONFERENCE ON ARCHITECTURE 

We had an amazing time supporting AIA San Francisco this month, exhibiting at the annual AIA Conference on Architecture. What a successful event with countless talented designers, architects, and builders in attendance! 

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth to visit with us and view our new materials and collections - we hope to see you all again very soon.
