Travertine is a hallmark of classical architecture, celebrated for its elegance and strength, with warm tones and distinctive veining that make it timeless.
Trail reinterprets travertine’s beauty in two aesthetic expressions. The result is a surface that combines sophistication, superior performance, and the allure of the natural material for indoor and outdoor applications.
This collection from Landmark Ceramics includes 11 colors in a variety of finishes, plus seven available in Landmark’s outdoor 2-centimeter pavers.

The new Alabastri collection from Casalgrande Padana emulates the ancient beauty of alabaster.
This original take on the extraordinary sheen and vibrant color of the highly sought-after material creates memorable ornamental motifs and decorative friezes.
Alabastri’s delicate shading, subtle mother-of-pearl transparencies, and the interplay of light and shadow make for a remarkable, rich look.
The new collection comes in five colors (Alabastri Black, Blue, Green, Pink, and White) in a variety of sizes. Like all the Casalgrande Padana stoneware collections, Alabastri is made from natural raw materials.
It is eco-compatible, fire-resistant, non-absorbent, antibacterial, and self-cleaning.

Marblique’s revolutionary Visual Touch technology, manufactured by Crossville in partnership with Italy’s Ceramica del Conca, brings design to life with rich, textural realism.
The four stone surfaces that make up Marblique are rendered to have a look and feel that is out of this world, with meticulous veining alongside the nuanced textures of acid etching, brushing, and bush hammering.
Seen here in Invisible Grey, Marblique is also available in four other colors. Choose from 24-by-48, 24-by-24, or 12-by-24 field tiles.

Versetta Stone is now available in three fresh colors—Granite Peak, a sophisticated dark gray; Lunar Drift, a clean, modern white; and Glen Canyon, a warm, earthy blend of neutrals.
The versatile modern stone siding solution offers easy panelized installation for the hand-crafted look of traditional stone masonry without the complexity. The collection’s convenient, panelized design features a tongue-and-groove interlocking system that ensures perfect spacing, a virtually seamless look, and easy installation with screws or nails in any weather.
Versetta Stone is also designed to maintain its beauty over time with minimal upkeep, as there’s no need for painting, coating, or sealing once installed.
Versetta Stone features an advanced moisture management system, offers wind resistance up to 110 miles per hour, and carries a Class A fire rating for protection against water intrusion and harsh elements.
ProBrick by Tando

Tando Composites, a division of Derby Building Products, now includes the new ProBrick, an extension of the TandoStone line. ProBrick is Tando’s latest composite brick and is a natural extension of the TandoStone composite stone offering, according to Ralph Bruno, CEO of Derby Building Products.
“Adding ProBrick to our Stacked Stone and Creek Ledgestone TandoStone lines will continue to elevate our brand leadership. Our complete TandoStone line, now including ProBrick, meets the industry needs of a masonry product that the siding installer wants to install. The word composite has baked-in connotations as superior, and the receptivity is very high, but today’s consumer demands products that have authenticity and natural looks. That is what ProBrick delivers, along with faster, easier installation and no need for masons, scaffolds, or special tools; it installs in panels rather than painstaking individual bricks.”
Tando Composites’ products, including ProBrick, require less labor, faster job cycle times, and require virtually no upkeep, Bruno says. “Additionally, unlike concrete-based products, ProBrick is impervious to moisture.” ProBrick can also be recycled. TandoStone ProBrick is available in two colors—Madeira, a rich, classic red, and Racinette, a deep, earthy brown. The ProBrick line also includes the aLL-Pro Corner, a one-piece corner designed to save time and labor no matter the project.
