CHICAGO, July 30, 2009 – Italian tile manufacturer GranitiFiandre introduces Xtra Fine to the US market. Xtra Fine is part of the company’s expanding contemporary Xtra Collection by Italian designer Silvia Stanzani.
Sophisticated pearl accents adorn silk-touch porcelain surfaces in the warm colors of Xtra Fine.
“Xtra Fine graces environments with an updated, classic design presence created by its iridescent elements and silk touch porcelain surface. Solid tiles can be used alone for subtle sophistication or dramatized with coordinating single and double strand pearl accents,” said
Jeanne Nichols, vice president sales and marketing for GranitiFiandre in the US.
Fine white, Fine Gray, Fine Cream, Fine Brown, and Fine Black in 24 x 24 inch and 24 x 12 inch formats are available in solid tiles or with single and double strand cut-outs for Dark Pearl and Bright Pearl inset options. Additionally, each color has a pearlized “button” dot that can be dropped in the center for greater embellishment. Coordinating 1 x 1 inch mosaics in a 12 x 12 inch format are also available.
