Recognized for award winning design and production innovation, Oceanside Glasstile will also be featuring Elevations, a new line of larger format field and multi-dimensional decorative liners, in Booth #3222 at Coverings 2006, April 4-7 in Orlando, Florida. Available in showrooms in June 2006, the new Facets field tile mirrors in miniature the company’s popular Tessera™ line of mosaic glass tile. Facets field, one of the smallest glass tiles in the industry, is available in three sizes: 1/2” x 1/2”; 1/2” x 1” Offset Joint; and Random Modular. Light-capturing Facets borders and field tile patterns are made-to-order in a choice of 44 iridescent and non-iridescent colors in Ocean or Earth palettes. Border sizes vary, with the average border running 3” tall by 12” wide and many can be cut into small decorative or narrow linear accents. Field tile comes face-mounted on paper in 12” x 12” sheets (all sizes are nominal). “The Facets collection of borders, introduced last fall, was immediately embraced by consumers, architects and designers alike as a jewel-like design accent perfect for any traditional glass tile mosaic application including enlivening small spaces and pool or spa waterlines,” said John Marckx, executive vice president of Oceanside Glasstile. “Soon after Facets debut customers asked us to add field tile which we are happy to be able to now introduce." -more-
