Daltile Enhances Natural Stone Collection With New Products and Line Extensions

DALLAS, April 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Daltile, one of America's most trusted and recognizable names in the tile and stone industry, brings the inherent beauty of natural stone to life through an expansive update to its collection of natural stone products.  The enhancements are sure to empower the design inspirations of residential and commercial projects of any scale.

New to the natural stone category come exotic selections of granite slab in two new colors, Saci and Talisman.  These chic and durable hues will add a touch of luxury and unmistakable quality to residential and commercial spaces.

"For thousands of years, natural stone has been admired for its ability to add matchless elegance and character to any design due to its naturally varied appearance," said Lori Kirk-Rolley, senior marketing director for Daltile.  "We're thrilled to expand our natural stone collection with timeless options that will inspire elegant design."

Daltile will also enhance its thresholds and windowsills line by boosting its color palette and simplifying tile sizes for a more sophisticated offering.  Additionally, based on customer feedback, some of Daltile's best-selling stones will now be available in the most desired 12 x 24 size.

Two new collections of countertops and surfacing products will also be added to the Daltile brand. Simply Finished™, a line of prefabricated countertops and SlimLite™ Slate and Quartzite, a line of innovative, thin and lightweight surfacing products, will be available this spring.  

Each line enhancement reflects Daltile's ongoing commitment to style, design and quality, affording everyone the opportunity to design with confidence.
