Daltile's Colour Scheme –
Glazed Porcelain Floor Tile
Dal-Tile Corp. has launched its new OutStand TechnologyTM, a patent-pending glaze technique designed to “provide tile with unparalleled surface wear and stain resistance while infusing the tile with Microban® antimicrobial product protection, which provides a layer of protection from stain- and odor- causing bacteria that won’t wash off or wear away,” the company says. Dal-Tile Corp. says it has been awarded the exclusive rights in North America to manufacture tiles with Microban technology.
Additionally, tiles made with OutStand Technology contain “some of the highest pre- and post-consumer recycled material contents (RMC) in the industry, which may help building and remodeling projects achieve credits and/or points in a variety of green building programs, such as LEED,” Dal-Tile adds.
As part of the launch, Dal-Tile Corp. has unveiled two new product collections under the Daltile and American Olean brands that are the first to be manufactured with OutStand Technology: Daltile’s Colour Scheme and American Olean’s Urban Tones. The new collections are American-made and contain more than 60% RMC, including post-consumer recycled glass.
“Our objective is to manufacture the most innovative and sustainable products in the marketplace today,” said Lori Kirk-Rolley, senior marketing director for Dal-Tile Corp. “Our Color Scheme and Urban Tones’ product collections contain more than 60% pre-consumer recycled materials content, more than any other glazed porcelain tile in the industry, and are scratch- and stain- resistant, and features Microban® antimicrobial protection.”
The new Colour Scheme and Urban Tones collections have been certified by the Porcelain Tile Certification Agency (PTCA).
