PORTLAND, Ore. (November 15, 2011) – ANN SACKS, a premier manufacturer and distributor of tile presented four ceramic tiles as part of its fall 2011 new product line-up. Launching softly in April 2011, the new tiles are in answer to an increased demand for high quality, neutral shades. The designs join Ann Sacks Basics, an In Stock program competitively priced from $4.00 to $14.00 a square foot. Durable with ease of maintenance, the stones have a delicate quality and soft tonal color with subtle veining. Suggested for interiors, the tiles can also be used outdoors subject to method of installation.

Pierre Joli: A soft swirling of cream to caramel coloration, softly honed Pierre Joli has an understated elegance. Visual interest through layout and blending of the tiles allow Pierre Joli to become a canvas, its natural irregularities creating slight movement within the room. Quarried in Turkey, Pierre Joli is available in 18x18-inch field, a 9/16-inch straight mosaic and a 32x72x3/4-inch slab.

Capella: Soft, barely-there creamy color veined in pure white, Capella’s gentle shade variation is complemented by a soft honed finish. The marble is quarried in Turkey and available in 18x18 fields, 9/16-inch straight mosaic and a 32x72x3/4-inch slab.

Arenoso: Quarried from Portugal, Arenoso has a sandy beige face broken by tiny flecks created by small fossils within the stone. Sizes range from 12x12-inch and 16x16-inch fields and 30x72x3/4-inch slabs.

Dune: This buffed colored stone is flecked with tiny shells and fossils for an appearance only slightly varied in visual relief. Dune is quarried in Portugal and available in 12x12-inch and 16-16-inch fields and 30x72x3/4-inch slabs.
