Ciao!

[Re]connect + view new product…

Join us this week for the ASID Industry Partner Trade Fair.

We must say, the designers over at h2k Design in Stanwood have excellent taste!

[And we're only slightly biased.]

This beautiful installation showcases our W AGE porcelain in Cortex [floor], and our

Murano Vena Glass in Tortoise [backsplash].

A perfect background for such a gorgeous setting!

*thank you:  h2k design, Designs NW Architects, and J.P. Land Builder

Kudos to interior designer Louise Brooks, who created an inspiring

kitchen design using Alumillenium Brushed tiles in 2×8 + 2×2.

We’re loving the soothing palette, her understated use of white

and silver.  So simple, yet so effective…

That the tile is composed entirely of recycled aluminum

is just an added bonus.

Get yours here.

Introducing Sands…

With such subtle color variation and movement, it complements almost anything you put with it.  Quickly becoming one of our new favorite porcelains…

Visit our showroom to view the collection.

We recently learned that Jeffrey Court would be closing its ceramic tile factory in California. The closure effects about one-third of their line. Most of their stone and glass products, as well as the red body ceramics, are unaffected by the factory closure. Early next year, Jeffrey Court will introduce new ceramics chapters to replace the chapters that are being discontinued.

Although the news was sudden and unexpected, our sales representatives are doing their best to replace any Jeffrey Court merchandising materials such as boards, catalogs, and loose samples with active lines. We are also working with customers on a case-by-case basis to find or replace any orders that are in process.

In addition, we are recommending a number of our other ceramic lines as possible replacements for Jeffrey Court ceramics such as Tiffany, Broadway, Status Ceramics, and Tabarka.

Please contact us with any questions or concerns at sales@statementstile.com or 206-762-8181.
