Recommended Use Virtue is recommended for interior floors, walls, countertops, and exterior walls in both residential and commercial applications. Virtue is not recommended for exterior horizontal surfaces or exterior paving. The satin finish is not recommended for wet areas where standing water may occur. If offset pattern is required for tiles 15 inches or longer, Crossville recommends an offset of not greater than 33%. If an offset greater than 33% is specified, specifier and owner must approve mock-up and lippage. See CrossvilleInc.com for detailed installation instructions. Care and Maintenance Regular cleaning is the best way to keep Virtue tile looking good for years to come. Use clean, hot water (combined with a household cleaner for more aggressive cleaning).

DO NOT use a penetrating sealer, as it will diminish or render ineffective the Hydrotect benefits.

Wet area use for Virtue mosaics Crossville produces the Virtue 2 x 2 hexagon and 3 x 3 mosaics with the Cross- Sheen (UHT) finish. The AcuTest sm wet Dynamic COF of Virtue is 0.42.
