Description

Nouveau is a ColorBody™ Porcelain with a very contemporary design that is defined by its "Pin Dot" visual and textured surface. This product achieves a highly-styled visual by combining this modern look in both an unpolished & a light polished finish with square edges.
 

NOTES:

  • All colors & field tile sizes available in light polished and unpolished surfaces.
  • Special care should be taken when grouting with dark pigmented colors. A grout release is recommended to prevent finely powdered pigments from lodging in the pores of the tile surface.
  • Special Installation Requirement: For proper bonding, medium bed mortar should be utilized in installing tiles with a dimensional length size greater than 20" x 20", large rectangles or tiles with greater dimensional thickness than normal. Back buttering tiles of this nature in the installation process will also assure proper coverage for bonding.
  • Since there is shade variation in all fired ceramic products, the tile and trim supplied for your particular installation may not match these samples. Final selection should be made from actual tiles and trim and not from tile and trim samples or color reproductions.
