The Quartz Essence Collection

Quartz Essence is an Italian technical porcelain tile series that celebrates the finest quartzite stone of the Italian Alps. With particular emphasis on vein patterns and subtle variation, the series comes in five gorgeous colors: White (‘Flake’), Beige (‘Nest’), Light Grey (‘Rocky’), Dark Grey (‘Burnt’) and a Brown-Green blend (‘Wild’). A mix of matte and reflective elements are revealed on 12” x 24” and 4” x 24” rectangular tile formats, while design is expanded with a 2” x 2” mesh-mounted mosaic tile. A modern approach to a universal stone tile look, perfectly suited for residential or commercial spaces. Quartz Essence is rated for all applications.
