February 10th, 2011

Whether you’re a Steeler’s fan or a Packers fan, or don’t even know the first thing about football, we’re all fans of the monumental achievement that is the new 1.2 billion dollar Cowboys Stadium in Dallas.

In case you were not one of the 110,000 individuals present at the new stadium for this weekends 2011 Superbowl, don’t miss what we would argue is the highlight of the stadium!

That’s the impressive installations of our Random Tiles and our Linear Interlocking Mosaic Tiles.

From the ownership offices to the main concourse lobbies, Island Stone’s material rise from floor to ceiling. Were not saying that these installation had any direct effect on the outcome of the game, but we are very proud to be a part of one of the the most heralded stadiums in the world.

We are looking forward to an exciting 2011 where we can work together to create original and contemporary designs regardless of location, type of installation or respective football team affiliation…

Andesite Sneak Peak

March 15th, 2010

Introduction

Debuting in April, the Island Stone andesite collection is the newest addition to our exclusive range of tiles and claddings. This extraordinary material is available in different compositions and finishes designed to bring a unique appeal to your next design.

Grey andesite is a distinctive new volcanic stone, sourced from an exclusive international quarry. The grey stone is punctuated by dark rock fragments along with lighter grains embedded in the fine volcanic rock. *Used for all honed and chipped finishes and select flamed finishes

Grey flecked andesite: Found in the same region and of a similar composition to “Grey Andesite”, the flecked material is recognizable by the embedded crystals that sparkle of the surface.  *Used with select flamed finishes

Surfaces:

  • Honed (h): A smooth, matte surface that illuminate the unique surface of our grey andesite. Perfect for both floor and wall use.
  • Flamed(f):  A natural looking textured surface that emphasizes the unique composition of andesite. Rough enough to create a distinct look, while still appropriate for use both on a wall or floor
  • Chipped (c):  A powerful three dimensional relief to bring a rugged appeal to our grey andesite.  Designed for creating an impact on a wall or any vertical surface

To  see the wide range of formats that Andesite will be offered in, please visit the product section of our website

New Glass: Streamline

March 3rd, 2010

Brand new glass mosaic from Island Stone!
Streamline takes the directional appeal of long rectangular shape and shrinks
them down to fit in a mosaic pattern with a 33% offset between rows. The soft color pallet and unique personality of our beach glass texture subtly tones down the powerful geometry of the design to create an inspiring look. A great option for creating backsplashes or kitchen and bathroom walls

Alpine Pebble

January 21st, 2010

Varying
 tones
 of 
grey 
and 
blue 
accented
 by 
swirls 
and 
sparkles 
personify 
the 
unique 
look 
of 
Alpine, 
our 
newest 
addition 
to 
the 
perfect 
pebble 
series. 
These 
flat, 
textured 
pebbles 
create
 a
 unique
 atmosphere 
that 
reflects 
the 
roots 
of 
their 
powerful, 
cold, 
rugged 
natural 
environment. Everyone envisions something different, but when I see Alpine Pebbles I think of using them to surface a fireplace or a backsplash in a kitchen in a wood cabin.  Or maybe  a trendy bar where the pure nature of the natural stone creates a desirable juxtaposition to the modern architecture.  The stones unique texture  and appearance creates  a warmth and personality that is hard to pin describe but blatantly obvious upon first glance

New Years Welcome

January 11th, 2010

If you thought that 2009 was overwhelming with the introduction of a whole new line of pebbles including (Absolute, Celestial, Petite) a beautiful new glass mosaic (Artifact) and two new honed stones (Temple Lava and Tropical White) in new Vtile and Rustic formats, 2010 will knock you off your feet! While we can’t show you any pictures quite yet, be ready for some innovative new designs to be added to our glass line, as well as a new exclusive stone that appears throughout many of our formats. All under taps for now, but if you are a dealer, you will get the first chance to see this product live at the April Coverings in Florida. Until then, don’t tell anyone!
