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

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
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
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!
With our distinctive line of tiles and claddings, we pride ourselves on promoting and supporting the most innovative and contemporary approaches to design. Regardless of the impressive hotel, resorts and high end residential designs we have been a part of, David Lindsy, Manager and Lead Designer of Natural Stone & Tile in Arlington, Tennessee, blew us away in his use of Island Stone tiles during a recent design event in Memphis. Using professional models, David took select tile and created wearable clothing that were worn during the event. Combined with displays created using Island Stone glass mosaics, the crowd of designers and architects were enlightened as to just how versatile and creative tile design can be. While the weight constraints of using tile as attire will probably prevent this approach from ever gaining wider acceptance, David should be applauded for opening our eyes to previously unconsidered approaches to designing with tile. If you are looking for someone to offer original and inspirational Island Stone tile design ideas for your next project, David, who’s history of using Island stone tiles and claddings in residential and commercial projects alike, will be sure to offer some great ideas. http://nstone.com/
A recent trip to Portugal opened up my eyes to the versatility and personality that tile offers. Portugal is built from tile. While here in the states, we tend to see tile as appropriate for select environments, in Portugal there is no floor or wall that is left unfinished. Tile driveways, tile retaining walls, tile rooms. Small kitchens and bathrooms, which would be otherwise unnoticeable are transformed by the tile used. While from afar, a Portuguese home might appear very mundane and standardized, it is the tile work that makes each unique and reflects the personality and style of the inhabitants. This is the lesson from which we could learn much. You don’t need to own a mansion to warrant using tile in your home. Tile can turn even the smallest, simplest room into an exclusive environment. A simple subtle colored glass tile design behind your bathroom mirror, the powerful look of Medan pebbles in your kitchen backsplash, rough rustic cladding transforming a fireplace or the comforting texture of a random tile or pebble tile on the bathroom floor. Look around your house, each room is a chance to project your personal design ethic
