“From energetic wall tiles to new takes on natural stone, we are honored to lead the way in the industry with more than 20 new design-forward product introductions at TISE 2018,” said Barbara Haaksma, Emser Tile vice president of marketing. “Celebrating 50 years in business, we remain committed to supporting our customers with a beautiful product portfolio, as well as continued dedication to exceptional customer service.”

Emser Tile’s featured collections at the show include: Motif; Nuovo; Intrigue; Echo; Terazio; Lakewood; Lakehouse; Metro Blue; and Xtra.

Motif rediscovers the ebb and flow of decorative patterns found in visual art. A delicate lace overlay defines this glazed ceramic subway tile collection. With a selection of neutrals, the collection's understated texture and glossy finish combine to create a unique aesthetic. Nuovo brings glamour and sophistication to interiors through form and texture in a glazed ceramic wall tile. A beautiful display of shadow and dimension, distinct large-scale geometry is enhanced with small-scale etched and combed details that refract light and complement other textures.

Intrigue is inspired by the layers of texture that arise in porcelain, glass, and marble mixed- material mosaics. A range of neutral overtones is woven together in a design-forward chevron pattern. With a glossy finish, the collection further heightens an elegant, large-scale wall design. A dynamic union of shape, pattern and sustainability, Echo hexagon and herringbone mosaics are entirely crafted of recycled white, gray, brown and calacatta-look glass. Finished with inkjet prints of wood grain and calacatta marble patterns, the series is ideal for kitchen and bath surfaces.

Terazio is an alluring recreation of terrazzo attributes in a durable porcelain tile. High-definition inkjets in neutral earth tones create natural speckled variations on the surface. Available in various shapes and sizes, Terazio provides a smooth, luminous finish for residential and commercial surfaces and acts as an ideal complement to a variety of patterned coordinates. An ode to the beautiful biodiversity of aged trees, Lakewood and Lakehouse intertwine to breathe life into contemporary surfaces in 8x34 in glazed porcelain planks. While Lakewood grounds the design with distinct wooden tones that evoke rich detail and texture, Lakehouse acts as an accent motif with bold color variation.

Building on the popular Metro line, Metro Blue expands the marble and limestone series to include three-dimensional split face and chiseled textures, as well as a linear pattern. Available in various shapes and sizes, Metro Blue celebrates a neutral, rustic aesthetic ideal for walls and surfaces. A collection of tiberwood, cement, and travertine looks created solely for exterior surfaces, Xtra is offered in large format tiles for outdoor accent walls and 2-cm pavers for multiple design opportunities across surfaces.
