Over the past 85 years, C.L. Frost Inc. of Sand City, CA, has evolved from a roofing company to a tile company, and eventually incorporated a stone department into the business as well. Presently, the company fabricates about 700 square feet of slabs a week for various projects, including high-end residential kitchens as well as some larger commercial work.
In 1920, the company was established as a roofing company, during which time owner Charlie Frost began to dabble in ceramic tile, as he enjoyed the beauty and creativity of the pieces. He then launched a tile department, which continued to flourish throughout the 1930s.
