Daltile's TREAD Named "Top 100 Product"
“Outdoor living is currently a very hot design trend,” said Laura Grilli, director of product design for Daltile. “Homeowners are spending more time eating, visiting, working, and relaxing outside when they are home. Consequently, more outdoor spaces are being created to serve as extensions of a home’s interior living spaces. Daltile’s TREAD program is a collection of stunning 2cm porcelain tile pavers that are beautiful and durable — perfect for gracious outdoor living!”
“Porcelain tile is well-suited for outdoor areas, due to the unsurpassed durability of the material and its inherent ability to withstand the harshest of conditions,” said Grilli. “With Daltile’s 2cm pavers, consumers enjoy the benefits of durable, easy-to-maintain porcelain tile that far outperforms other outdoor materials:
• UV resistant
• Stain resistant
• Fade resistant
• Scratch resistant
• Fire resistant
• Slip resistant
• Freeze/thaw resistant
• De-icing salt resistant
“Our Daltile 2cm porcelain pavers are a fun outdoor design component,” added Grilli. “I really like these pavers, because you can so easily achieve the look that is popular right now where pavers are laid with grass, artificial grass, or stones between them. In the past, really the only way you could achieve this look was by pouring concrete pads. Now with Daltile’s 2cm porcelain pavers, outdoor spaces can have the beautiful look of limestone, for example. Additionally, the limestone look of your pavers has matching or coordinating vertical mosaics and trim pieces, elevating the entire design of your outdoor space. Also, most of our pavers have a coordinated standard floor tile to achieve inside-out design harmony that is trending.”
Daltile’s 2cm porcelain pavers are available in a variety of sizes and sophisticated designs: wood, stone, concrete, quartzite, terrazzo, agglomerated stone, slate, French limestone, and Belgian bluestone. Beautiful, durable, easy to maintain. Perfect for any outdoor living space.
The line consists of seven collections: Assemble, Commissary, Ambassador, Diplomacy, Delegate, Dignitary, and Nominee.
