As The Tile Turns

Colorado boasts an abundance of talent and passion, not to mention raw materials. All this provides a wealth of opportunities for our team at Decorative Materials. We’re continually amazed by the pristine stones and tiles produced so close to home – and we’re excited to share this local talent with the interior design community.

Tile Talk

Since launching our new line of Porcelain Pool Tile earlier this month, we''ve been getting a lot of questions about what makes porcelain tile better than ceramic tile. More commonly, the question is simply, "What is the difference between porcelain and ceramic tile?" Porcelain tile is a type of ceramic tile and nothing more.

We fell in love with this recent project in Crested Butte, Colorado. Per Mountain Living magazine, “Glass-inlaid oak doors from the 1880s open into the 13,000-square-foot inn’s main living area, where the décor is a surprisingly urban mix of luxurious fabrics and soft neutrals with rustic wood and stone.”

If you want to add a splash of colour to your home, try the Java ceramic floor tiles. If the natural look is more your thing then try one of our wood or natural stone effect tiles. Colorado wood effect tiles give you the gorgeous look of wooden floors with none of the maintenance.

While we’re hyped up on all things red, white and blue, let’s take a look at a few of Architectural Ceramic’s tile lines that are proudly Made in the USA. At Architectural Ceramics, we love family businesses because AC is one too. Encore Ceramics is another example of American-made tile. Allison Eden Studios.

Lingua Terra Tile

Terra Home Ceramics. It is done in a traditional majolica style, with a white tin glaze on red earthenware, decorated with cobalt oxide. The clients already had a stone back splash installed in their butlers pantry when I was brought in on the job, and were really unhappy with how monolithic it looked. Email This. Newer Post.
