Popular IMPERIAL SLATE line expanded

A new 16”x16” module adds another dimension to the Modular 6”x6” Imperial Mix and 12”x12” sizes in this slate-look fusion of organic colors and clefts.  Resplendent layers of color and texture excite the senses while the glazed surface eliminates the flaking and maintenance routines associated with the natural slate.   The lustrous patina beautifully harmonizes with a profusion of trims, be they glass, stone or metal, while its interplay of colors constantly brings new movement to a room.

The tile face expresses the features of slabs riven from the prehistoric earth – scratched, split, robust.  Three Class 4 colors – Imperial Black, Imperial Rust and Imperial Tan –  feature rich, layered colorations of ochers, olives, blacks, browns, cottos, creams, and rusts which vary significantly from piece to piece and  readily complement other diverse design elements, either rustic or contemporary.

The ADA-recognized COF of ≥ 0.60 makes it an appealing choice for floors, walls, fireplace and shower surrounds, backsplashes and countertops in both residential and commercial settings.
