Product Overview
The Shades by CrossvilleTM collection is a versatile porcelain stone series featuring nine contemporary colors, including six shades of gray, warm and cool whites, and a deep near-black option. These colors can be used alone or mixed for sophisticated patterns. The tiles are rectified and modular, available in sizes 24 x 24, 12 x 24, and 6 x 24, with custom sizes available through the 'Get Planked' program. Made in the USA with 20% recycled content, the tiles feature a subtle linear pattern, especially emphasized in honed finishes.

Design and Accents
Complementary accents include 1 x 3 honed, stacked mosaics in various color combinations and metallic mosaic borders for added glamour. The collection is described as urban, sleek, refined, and inviting.

Sizes and Finishes
Field tiles are available in all colors with finishes in UPS (Unpolished) and Honed. Sizes include 6 x 24, 12 x 24, and 24 x 24 inches. Mosaics and mosaic borders are also available, with specific dimensions and finishes detailed in the document.

The collection contains at least 20% pre-consumer recycled content. Crossville recycles nearly 12 million pounds of waste annually and offers a Tile Take-BackTM Program for recycling previously installed tiles.

Key performance metrics include a breaking strength of over 500 lbf, bond strength over 200 psi, chemical resistance, frost resistance, water absorption below 0.30%, and a scratch hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale. The coefficient of friction varies by finish and condition (dry or wet).
