'Which of the three tile designs above do you like best? Whichever one you said — left, right or center — here’s a secret: they’re all made with the same tile! Like the perfect black dress, the beauty of our cement tile designs is their ability to morph from classic to casual to modern or traditional depending on which way they’re oriented. Using the same tile you can lay a floor (or a wall or a backsplash) in a myriad of different designs.

Instead of homely country styles, the latest trend is for sleek, often open plan, industrial style kitchens. Tiles. Metro tiles have an effortless cool; they look equally at home in an old subway or tube station as they do in a trendy cocktail bar, and this is also true for kitchens and bathrooms.

'It’s Thanksgiving and we are giving thanks indeed! Most of us are celebrating in a very Vail way – skiing in the morning and (over) eating in the evening. Sometimes it’s hard to remember all we have to be grateful for. So this year, we sat down and put into writing what centers us, why we are who we are and who we have to thank for it. Life is so hectic, it’s easy to become mired in our first-world problems.
