They say imitation is the highest form of flattery. Well, Daltile has it down to a science, offering new tile designs with faux finishes at this year’s Surfaces trade show. The new tile collections include:

Spark 12 x 12 porcelain tiles that have the look of breezy linen fabric:

And Terrace 6 x 36 porcelain floor and wall tiles that recreate the look of hardwood.

While natural surfaces such as hardwood remain popular, new flooring technology allows manufacturers to produce many styles and patterns on almost any flooring material, while maintaining all the texture and charm of the inspirational surface. Consumers reap the benefits with the durability of porcelain or ceramic tile, for example, and the beauty of a favorite fabric or natural wood. Daltile’s new faux-finished porcelain and wall tile lines demonstrate the versatility of the technology and its application in today’s modern  homes.
