EssentialsThe beauty of Essentials’ sophisticated color array is not just skin-deep.

Marvelously adaptive tone-on-tone shading catches the eye, but there’s much

more beneath the surface.

Six up-to-the-minute neutrals in 12”x12”, 18”x18” and 12”x24” modules are

key to creating subtle backdrops or minimalist accents, based entirely on the

vision (or whim) of the designer. The trio of large sizes plus 2”x4” brick mosaics,

cove base, cove base angles and single bullnose trim only add to the versatility of

the line.

Prepare to get your neutrals fix with Essentials, and see what powerful statements

these impactful shades can make. The broad palette colors your world with:

Basic Black, Blissful Brown, Graceful Grey, Simplistic Smoke, Trendy Taupe and

Wondrous White.

All these choices plus recycled content, no VOCs and domestic production that

can contribute to LEED credits makes eco-friendly not only achievable but also

very exciting from a project design perspective.

Create a stunning classroom; or a family living area that transitions to a beautifully landscaped

outdoor pool/spa/dining space; or a formal restaurant that fosters a more casual feel for

customers who want just a drink and appetizers on the outdoor terrace.
