LOUISVILLE, KY -- Louisville Tile, one of America’s largest and longest-tenured distributors of ceramic tile and related products, announced the launch of the Wilcox Fifty Five "LavoMOD”, a groundbreaking program meticulously designed to revolutionize the installation of porcelain slabs. This innovative offering provides a faster and more efficient solution for achieving sophisticated high-end bathroom designs with unprecedented ease and exceptional hygiene.

LavoMOD features a curated collection of premium, Made in the USA, 6mm honed porcelain panels, pre-cut to precise dimensions for seamless standard shower and bathtub installations. These selections represent the culmination of thoughtful planning and innovation, fundamentally transforming the way you approach modern bathroom construction. The flagship product within this program is LavoMOD by Wilcox Fifty Five, a seamless shower system that eliminates grout lines and offers exceptional design flexibility, available in three finishes: ThassosMOD (White), StatuaryMOD (White/Grey) and CalacattaMOD (Creams/Gold).

"LavoMOD is a game-changer for the industry," said Catherine Buehre, vice president of product development at Louisville Tile. "This program reflects our deep commitment to redefining the bathroom design experience by offering a solution where elegance and efficiency go hand in hand. The introduction of LavoMOD by Wilcox Fifty Five is a testament to this commitment, providing a stunning grout-free alternative that simplifies the installation process and promotes a healthier bathroom environment."

Ideal for home builders, remodelers, the hospitality industry and beyond, this forward-thinking program streamlines projects and elevates design possibilities. LavoMOD offers a curated selection of trending colors with hyper-realistic visuals. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, LavoMOD boasts an impervious non-porous surface that inherently resists moisture, mold and mildew, making it an ideal and hygienic choice for wet environments like showers and bathrooms. Its low water absorption effectively prevents common issues such as staining or deterioration, while simplifying everyday cleaning to just a quick wipe. The material’s chemical resistance ensures long-term performance and durability against cleaning products and daily wear, and its hypoallergenic properties contribute to a healthier living space.

  • Shower Configuration sizes include: 58 ½ x86”, 40 5/8 x 86” and 30 5/8” x 86”
  • Bathtub Confirguration sizes include: 58 ½ x 86” and 30 5/8” x 86”

Built to last, LavoMOD stands up to daily use without losing its refined appeal. The pre-cut modular nature of the panels ensures a faster and more efficient installation, making it an affordable solution for residential projects and a significant time-saver for commercial applications.
