ANN SACKS® Introduces Pezzo Porcelain Tiles

PORTLAND, Ore. (June 1, 2017) – ANN SACKS, a premier manufacturer and distributor of

tile and stone, launches Pezzo, which means “pieces” in Italian. Crafted in Italy, the collection is inspired by the chunky terrazzo tiles that have become so en vogue as a fashionable commercial and residential statement but one that has also been an enduring expression in design for centuries. Using a porcelain medium to create the tiles provides a collection that has the beauty of finely crafted terrazzo and the almost maintenance free countenance and strength to withstand even the highest traffic areas synonymous with porcelain.

Exclusive to ANN SACKS in the United States, Pezzo is comprised of four colors in a variety of finishes. Pezzo is available in three discriminating designs:

Facet: An irregular pattern with a gathered feel like that of a finely hand-laid cobbled stone walkway or wall. Available in colorways of Facet Steel Polished, Facet Ash Polished, Facet Pewter Matte, and Facet Bone Matte.

Square: Taking its cues from the asymmetrical style of Facet, but instead incorporating a random sized, square lay-up design, Square is offered in colorways of Square Steel Polished and Square Ash Polished. 

Plain: Completing Pezzo is Plain, its smooth face slightly speckled for textural relief. Plain is offered in two colorways: Steel Polished and Ash Polished.

Pezzo is perfect for large scale commercial and residential installations including feature walls and expansive floor designs. It is also an exceptional choice for outdoor installations – dependent upon method of installation – as Pezzo is not affected by climates subject to yearly freeze/thaw temperature variables. Available in 24”x24” field tiles with complementing trim for a professional installation, Pezzo interlocks to connect each piece to create a visually appealing, virtually continuous pattern with rectified edges to ensure a tight grout line further enhancing the resulting design.
