The collection is in 12-by-24-inch field tile format. The bullnose, cove base, and 2-by-2-inch mosaic options provide solutions to meet project requirements and create fully finished looks.  

8. clé

Three wood-fired terracotta tiles by clé expand the Belgian Reproduction collection to seven shapes: rectangle, losange diamond, circle, square, hex, star, and cross (star and cross combination shown). The hand-crafted tiles replicate the grand courtyards of northern Europe, with the blackened clay lending the unglazed, chalky surface a certain elegance. The tiles are available from 2-by-8-inch rectangles to 8-by-8-inch squares, hex, and circles. They can be installed indoors and out, on floors or walls. 

9. Consentino

Sensa by Cosentino is an extremely durable, maintenance-free natural stone surface for interior and exterior applications. It resists scratches and stains, and now five colors have been added to the existing 35 hues. The new colors (shown) are White Napoli, Silver Blue, Luna Blanca, Smoky White, and White Alamo. Sensa features Senguardâ, a deep treatment applied during the manufacturing process to protect the stone, helping eliminate required sealing for years to come.

10. Cultured Stone

The sculpted Ashlar profile by Cultured Stone comes in Silver Shore (green, gray); Grouse (tan, brown); and Ferrous (shown, featuring charcoal, copper, and carbon blue tones). Stone sizes range from 21⁄4 to 73⁄4 inches high, 51⁄2 to 201⁄2 inches long, and 1 to 2 inches thick. Ashlar can be used as the facing stone for a fireplace accent wall, but not all spaces will be conducive to the size/shape of its larger elements.
