Introducing the Stylish Touch and Texture Ranges

Newcastle, 22 April 2008: Specialist tile company Earp Bros is excited to announce the release of the new Touch and Texture ranges of floor and wall and feature tiles, which can be purchased exclusively through their three showrooms throughout Australia. The dazzling silvers, satin whites and sleek textures of these new ranges will add a modern and stylish edge to any commercial or residential project, in particular feature designs. Touch and Texture form part of the new Metalia range that aims to provide high quality, environmentally sustainable, metallic ceramic products to the market.

This growing range encompasses products that are suitable for floors, walls and feature areas, making metallic options available for a wider range of applications. “The increased availabilty of metallic feature tiles in Australia is giving consumers more of an opportunity to experiment and add personality and flair to their spaces”, according to Richard Earp, Joint Managing Director of Earp Bros. “Produced with a modern textured finish, we have ensured that these ranges are easy to clean and maintain, so that they can be used in virtually any area.” Touch Silver and Graphite make up the floor tiles in this range and are available in 333mm x 333mm. They are rectified for greater job accuracy and are fully vitrified, meaning that there is less than 0.1% water absorption. Both Touch and Texture wall tiles are available in white, silver and graphite and come in two sizes, 333mm x 666mm (Touch) and 333mm x 592mm (Texture). The touch range is rectified for greater job accuracy when the tiles are laid. These stylish wall tiles are available in a satin finish and will add a 'wow factor' to any home, office or commercial space. Touch Tablet and Touch Mosaico are additional feature wall tiles to finish this versatile range. Available in 200mm x 333mm pieces, both the Tablet and Mosaico versions are pre-cut mosaics suitable for indoor use only.

Pre cut mosaic tiles have cuts in the surface which enables the tiler to grout the surface in between each mosaic. While giving the exact same appearance as a sheeted mosaic, this new technology gives greater accuracy and is much easier to cut and lay. “This versatile range is just one of the new, innovative and environmentally friendly ranges from Earp Bros”, says Richard. “We are continually striving to bring only the best of products to the Australian market and are working with our customers to find unique solutions to meet each and every requirement.” About Earp Bros Earp Bros is proud to be a leading Australian supplier of quality ceramic products.
