March 6, 2026 – Crossville, a brand of AHF Products, invites Coverings 2026 attendees to experience a new kind of design environment, one that blends innovation, biophilic principles, and the restorative calm of a high‑end spa. In honor of the brand’s 40th anniversary, Crossville designers have transformed its trade show booth into a sensory retreat that showcases how porcelain can shape spaces of well‑being, indoors and out.
Visitors will step into an environment defined by textures, natural palettes and refined visuals. Indoor–outdoor vignettes demonstrate how porcelain tiles can extend from interiors to patios and pool decks, supporting the growing trend toward fluid, connected environments.
Catherine DelVecchio, Vice President – Marketing, remarked:
We wanted to create a space where people could slow down and truly feel the materials. Biophilic influence emerges through organic surfaces and calming hues that evoke natural materials while maintaining the durability and performance of porcelain.
Performance‑driven detailing comes through in finish options designed for demanding interior and exterior spaces, underscoring Crossville’s focus on both beauty and function. The FeatherSoft surface — featured in collections such as Sociale, Reunited and others — creates a soft, pleasant feel underfoot. Even with this gentle touch, the porcelain remains fully dense and exceptionally durable. These tiles also maintain a high wet DCOF, meaning the soft finish does not compromise traction or safety on wet floors. (Wet DCOF measures how slippery a ceramic surface becomes when walked on while wet.)
For outdoor use, the exterior finish in these collections is engineered for performance on patios, pool decks, and other high‑traffic exterior areas where durability and slip resistance are essential.
Among the products being displayed at Coverings are:
- Slate Collection in twO (2mm Porcelain Panels): A thin‑format porcelain panel that merges minimalist, Scandinavian‑Japanese design cues with advanced sustainability. Ideal for expansive vertical applications in serene, wellness‑focused spaces.
- Portland Cliff Porcelain Tile: Inspired by the iconic stone of England’s Isle of Portland, this collection brings soft, organic character to indoor and outdoor living. Visual Touch Technology delivers a realistically authentic stone‑like tactile experience that also extends outside for pools, patios and exterior retreats.
- Reunited Porcelain Tile: Reunited offers a soft, welcoming aesthetic in a palette of calming neutrals in three colors with a warm, tactile feel. Its FeatherSoft matte finish provides a smooth, durable surface, and one core color extends to an exterior-rated texture for seamless indoor–outdoor use. Coordinated field tiles, two mosaics, and full trim support cohesive design across residential and commercial spaces. Reunited carries its name well — familiar, refreshed, and ready for modern environments.
