Quality materials combined with our innovative research and development ensure that we offer the finest porcelain tile available. We’re focused on maintaining a commitment to quality so that our products meet and exceed your expectations. To that end, we’ve developed a portfolio of distinctive and proprietary porcelain tile finish offerings to add even more beauty and extended function to both interior and exterior residential and commercial tile designs.
Cross-Sheen® Porcelain Tile Finish
Cross-Sheen® is an integrated finish that significantly enhances the protection of Crossville porcelain tile from the majority of scuffs, stains, and even most graffiti. This advanced tile finish makes the tile surface easier to clean, allowing for fast removal of unsightly marks using only mild cleaner (no harsh cleaners required!). The result is hassle-free cleaning and long-term performance of your Crossville porcelain tile.
Other anti-graffiti coatings are available on the market, but they are expensive and non-permanent. Our proprietary Cross-Sheen finish is incorporated directly into the tile’s surface, so it will never scrape off or wear off. Cross-Sheen really can extend the life of the installed tile. These tile surfaces won’t require replacement or updating like tiles that can never be fully cleaned when scarred or defaced. Made in the USA to stringent specifications, Cross-Sheen is a beautifully advanced solution for exterior and interior walls and interior flooring in residential or commercial applications.
Check out these case studies featuring porcelain tile projects that use Cross-Sheen:

Theses commercial restrooms were completed with Crossville’s Color Blox 2.0 and Color By Numbers tile collections. The color combinations feature the Cross-Sheen finish for easy maintenance and cleaning.
Cross-Slate® Porcelain Tile Finish
Our Cross-Slate® porcelain tile finish combines the rustic and textured feel of slate with the through-body color and durability of Crossville porcelain. When enhanced traction is required for high-traffic interior and exterior spaces, we recommend unglazed porcelain tiles in our Cross-Slate finish for interior floors and walls, as well as exterior walls and exterior walking surfaces in both residential and commercial environments. Cross-Slate is available in select sizes of Cross-Colors Mingles porcelain tile.
Cross-Tread® Porcelain Tile Finish
Increased slip resistance and ease of maintenance make tiles with Cross-Tread® a suitable choice for wet and greasy floor areas and exterior walking surfaces. The Cross-Tread surface pattern is eye-catching, making it an excellent option for transitional areas and for use as an accent tile. The unique surface texture of the tile is designed to keep the foot elevated so that it does not come into contact with grease and other contaminants found on the tile floors, which helps prevent slipping.
Our Cross-Tread system has long been the flooring surface of choice for commercial kitchens, auto service bays, dairy production, chemical manufacturing, and warehouse, to name a few — anyplace where safeguards against slipping are a top concern. Cross-Tread is an excellent alternative to hard-to-source quarry tile.
Cross-Tread technology is available in select sizes of our Cross-Colors Mingles porcelain tile collection.
