The artisanal feel of hand-scraped, hand-oiled hardwood is authentically reproduced on a strong and durable porcelain body that withstands rigors water, stains, freezing conditions that are often the nemesis of real wood. 3

4 Deep, rich layers of color achieved through 3d digital print technique permeate the slightly undulated surface, evoking the warmth, the tactile sense of real wood which has been artfully prepared for fine homes and businesses that want to expound on their unique heritage... or create the foundation for a new one. Finely rectified wide-plank sizes 6"x36" and 9"x36" facilitate minimal grout joints and stretch the line of sight along the 36" lengths. The minimal undulation accommodates a top-set baseboard without gap issues. Two sizes and three color ranges, Natural (light), Saddle (medium) and Spice (dark), can be used singly or in combination, eliciting the wonderful ambience of times past when wide-plank was the norm. But unlike in times past, it s quite acceptable (even desirable) to run the strips diagonally, up a wall, inside a shower. saddle 4

5 This striking alternative to natural wood offers significant technical properties that are not found in a wood product. Amercian Estates is not affected by seasonal changes in humidity; it will not expand or contract, opening up joints or cupping on the floor. It tolerates freeze-thaw extremes, and moisture will not affect the surface, so it fits right into a bathroom or shower, going where its natural counterpoint would not dare. Impervious porcelain is resistant to staining and inhibits the growth of mold, so countertops and backsplashes are very doable. Contribution to LEED credits is the expectation for this American-made porcelain with 21% recycled content, no VOCs and lower life cycle cost than natural wood. Simple maintenance with hot water and no harsh chemicals is so much more environmentally friendly than the sanding, staining, waxing cycle required for woods. natural 5

Additionally, extra caution is required with regards to product selection and proper maintenance. Visit for complete information regarding the DCOF Acutest test method and values. *DCOF AcuTest is the industry designation for the test procedure contained in ANSI A137.1 Section 9.6, which has been extensively researched, allows for in-situ field measurements, and is in use at tile manufacturing facilities. It was so named to distinguish it from other DCOF measurements using different instruments and/or protocols. ** Whichever is less d R V3 3d Printing Technique Rectified Tile Moderate Variation VOC Frost Resistant Abrasion Resistance S.C.O.F.
