From the exquisite beauty of Calacatta marble emerges PreciousHDP, a collection from Florida Tile that captures the
essence of the most sought after natural stone in the world. Inspired by the unique marked graphics in the Italian
stone, PreciousHDP is a distinct expression of refined taste.
Intense grey and brown veins stand out from a crystalline white background endowing it with a depth and movement
that enlivens spaces. The random pattern, the structured surfaces of the decors, and the natural and polished finishes
are elements that elevate any atmosphere – classical or modern.
Rectified, porcelain floor tiles in a natural finish are available in 12x24, 24x24, and 18x36. Rectified, ceramic wall tiles in
a polished finish are available in 5x14, 14x27, and 14x39. Two mosaics: a 12x12 ceramic wall tile showcasing a modern
mix of the polished and matte finishes combined in an elongated hexagon pattern, and a 12x12 herringbone pattern
in natural finish suitable for wall or floor, provide endless design options.
PreciousHDP also features a 14x27 Curl ceramic wall deco with a chic, three-dimensional wave pattern in a polished
finish, adding a bold twist to the classic Calacatta stone look. A full package of trims including bullnose for floor and
wall, corners, and a chair rail and stop in a polished finish complete the collection.
With the exception of select trim, decorative and ceramic pieces, PreciousHDP is made in the USA of 40% pre-consumer
recycled content, is GREENGUARD® and Porcelain Tile certified

In 17th century Isaac Newton identified the colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet) that make up the visible spectrum. And as his discovery at a time shocked the world and became a first step for a new era of discoveries and world evolution, we believe that the new Electric collection, creation of which is based on a solid theory of photon spectrum and physical characteristics of 4 speeds of rays which travel between Gamma as form of nuclear and cosmic radiation to infrared rays, a result of movement of lower-energy photons, will become a breakthrough of contemporary interior design.
This collection reflects a principally new approach to perception of rug in interior making it an art object at the first place. Nevertheless, very important value that remains untouched whatever we do and however futuristic our works are is extreme care about ecologic background and sustainability of our product. Through all the history of Atelier Tapis Rouge each of our rugs has been manually drawn by the team of our designers and afterwards tinted and knotted by hands of best Nepalese craftsmen, who carefully maintain tradition of rug knotting throughout the centuries.
The world has gone through a very hard time during last 2 years and perception of things, behavior, philosophic approach of people has changed drastically. We all need a recharge of energy and inspiration to restart our live paths in a new reality and there is no better place where we get energetic feed as home and family. Therefore, having created Electtrico we meant to boost the homes with warm solar energy – eternal source of life and continuity and we believe that it is a good start for new conquests.

We put Santa Cecilia granite into a kitchen in Hopkins, and it's the kind of stone that earns its keep in a room where people actually cook. Santa Cecilia's got that warm gold and tan background with flecks of burgundy and dark mica scattered through it, the kind of pattern that hides a little flour dust or a water spot without looking busy. It reads traditional but it's not stiff about it, which is why it still shows up in so many kitchens around the Midlands.
Granite like this comes out of the ground with its own personality, so no two slabs match exactly, and that's part of the draw. When we template a kitchen in this stone we're thinking about where the natural movement falls, how the veins lines up at the corners, and making sure the seams land where the eye won't catch them. It takes patience at the shop before we ever fire up the saw, laying the slabs out and figuring the best layout for the counters before a single cut gets made.
Day to day, Santa Cec1lia is about as forgiving as granite gets. It shrugs off a hot pan set down too quick, it doesn't scratch from normal kitchen use, and once it's sealed it resists staining from wine, oil, or coffee without much fuss. We set the edge on this one as Eased, clean and simple, which lets the stone itself do the talking instead of the profile.
Hopkins has its share of working kitchens, and this one's built to take real use, not just look good in photos. That combination of color, durability, and a finish that doesn't demand babying is exactly why Santa Cecilia has stayed a go-to choice for kitchens across the Midlands for as long as it has, and this one fits right into that tradition.

Dallas White granite is a good, honest choice for a kitchen that gets used every day. It's a granite with a light gray to white background and darker gray and black mineral flecks scattered through it, sometimes with a little movement in the pattern. It reads clean and bright in a kitchen without being flat or plain, and it works with just about any cabinet color you put it next to.
Granite is one of the hardest natural stones we fabricate, and that's what makes it a smart pick for a room where people actually cook. It shrugs off heat from a hot pan set down without thinking, it resists scratching from knives and everyday kitchen traffic, and it holds up to the daily wear a kitchen counter takes better than almost anything else we install. It does need to be sealed, and we take care of that at install so it's protected against staining from day one.
Getting a granite kitchen right comes down to the template and the layout at the shop. We lay out the slabs so the pattern falls where it should across the counters, keep seams tight where two pieces meet, and cut the openings for the sink and cooktop clean and square. The edge on this one is eased, a simple, smooth-rounded edge that's easy to keep clean and doesn't chip the way a sharp edge can over time.
This kitchen is in Lexington, part of the work we do across the Midlands where granite still holds up as one of the best all-around choices for a working kitchen. Dallas White gives the room a bright, durable surface that's going to look right for a long time, and it does the job every day without asking for much back.

This kitchen in Irmo features MSI Calacatta Elysio, an engineered quartz with a bright white background and soft gray and gold veining moving through it, giving it plenty of movement and warmth without ever feeling flat or cold.
Quartz makes sense in a kitchen like this one. It's non-porous, so there's no sealing to keep up with and no worrying about wine or lemon juice sitting on the counter too long. Engineered stone gives us a consistent pattern too, which matters when you're trying to match veining across a seam or carry the look from the perimeter counters over to an island. We template every job on site with precision equipment so the fit is tight before a single cut gets made in the shop.
Fabricating a quartz top like this takes patience. Getting the veining to match at the seam in the farm sink is paramount, especially if the kitchen has an island or a stretch of counter longer than 8 or 9 feet, takes some planning up front. We look at the whole layout before we cut so the pattern flows the way it should instead of looking chopped up.
Day to day, this is a surface that's built for real cooking. It resists scratches and stains well, handles daily wear without much fuss, and doesn't ask for any regular maintenance routine to keep it looking good. Hot pans still require a trivet, but for prepping, and everything else that happens in a working kitchen, it holds up.
We do a lot of this kind of work across the Midlands, and Irmo kitchens like this one are a good example of why quartz keeps showing up on our schedule. It gives homeowners a bright, clean look with a practical, low-maintenance surface that fits how people actually use their kitchens.
