Best Tile Distributors of New England, part of the East Coast Tile family, the largest importer of ceramic tile and stone in the Northeast, has expanded its partnership with high-end porcelain tile manufacturer GranitiFiandre. Best Tile has established exclusive distribution rights to the Italian firms advanced porcelain surfacing collections in 15 states on the East Coast, including the innovative Geologica line. As part of the new strategic alliance, the high-end Geologica Showroom at the Boston Design Center has been re-named: Geologica by Best Tile.

Located at One Design Center Place on the Boston Waterfront, minutes from Boston’s World Trade Center, Geologica by Best Tile is a 1,700 square foot high-end showroom dedicated to the architectural and design community. Geologica by Best Tile predominantly showcases the technically superior Geologica line of advanced porcelain. Geologica is a branded line of porcelain manufactured by GranitiFiandre that represents recreations of rare, exotic and technically limited marbles, granites, limestones, quartzites, slates and travertines. The Geologica line, manufactured for durability with 100 percent natural minerals, is available in a large variety of colors, sizes and finishes. Geologica is frost proof, resistant to stains, scratches, UV rays and chemicals, and extremely easy to care for and maintain.

“The marketing potential is much greater for us by partnering with a distributor like Best Tile,” said Josephine Fatta, who manages the Geologica by Best Tile showroom. “The new partnership lends Geologica an instant presence in the region, and will help us gain visibility with the architectural and design community. It should also help us expand further into the commercial and high-end residential sectors.”
