Encaustic tiles are SO a thing, unless one has been living under a rock. Pinterest, Houzz, and Instagram are filling our feeds with these lovelies.
And I am here for it! They are not for the faint of heart. They are bold, and they are beautiful.
I watched our incredible tile team take our Antiqued pattern tiles from concept to reality. I cannot wait for you to see it, design with it, and love it. Whether it's spec'ed for floors, walls, stair risers, not-so-common areas or fireplace surrounds. Antiqued has a timeworn visual and is a jaw-dropper/show-stopper.

The stripes, florals, and solids can be vintage, rustic, Americana, modern, timeless, or retro...there's something for everyone. Take a gander at these pretties. Our Antiqued collection.
Please meet our 8x8 tile, Blue Daze.
Blue Nouveau. Bright + modern. Who doesn't love a pop of blue?
Next, let me introduce to you her 8x8 sister, Garden Way.
I feel like we need a garden party. These petal pushers are fun, playful, and glam. I am just loving these floral notes.
They are 8x8 porcelain (not cement) so neither the thickness nor the maintenance will be an issue in your specs. The pricing is also much more attainable/reasonable than true cement tiles. There's a white 8x8 solid Antiqued companion, Sandbar for balance.
Ya'll it's here. Now blanket your world in it. Imagine. Create. Induldge. Just please tag us at #Shawfloors so we can see its beauty unleashed.
Boldly yours,
Tracy
