America's Heritage Tilework
The soft-contoured design of the original, authentic subway tile is etched into America's pre-war history. One hundred years ago, American tile manufacturers standardized how tile and trimmers were produced to create a centralized specification for architects, designers, tradespeople, and tile buyers.
This inspired Heritage Tile to partner with a Made-In-America tile manufacturer to keep the handcrafted spirit of authentically-made subway tile alive. Today, each glazed subway tile, soft radius trims, ceramic accessories, and unglazed porcelain mosaics continue to be faithfully reproduced using the same high-quality methods and materials as the originals.
The spirit, versatility, and sculptural characteristics found in the Subway Ceramics collection gives architects and designers an authentic yet modern system of tile solutions that imparts elegance, precision, and timeless sophistication to any tile project.
Acquaint yourself with the Subway Ceramics collection of authentic subway tile.
Alive with Color and Form
Unglazed porcelain flooring, first imported from England as colorful geometric/encaustic tile patterns to meet the demand from discriminating Victorian American homeowners, evolved into the mosaics that American factories began mass producing to support the country's transition to indoor plumbing.
Available in the same 24 color palette, Heritage Tile produces made-to-order designs in either geometric or mosaic pattern options for a uniquely personalized space for every customer.
The Viva Tile collection is made using a vitrification process that gives each tile durability, resilience, and an extremely long life. Porcelain tiles are perfect for almost all environmental conditions, be it indoors or outdoors use, on floors or walls, or in wet or dry conditions. All the made-to-order mosaic designs are assembled in the USA.
The Architectural Ceramics of Japan
The Zen+Clay collection handmade porcelain tile making is rooted in the Japanese traditions of glazed pottery referred to as “Mino style ceramics.” Today, Japanese tile manufacturing is innovative and progressive while remaining true to the traditional tile and glaze recipes.
The heart and art of Zen+Clay embodies the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi, a philosophy based on the acceptance of constant change and impermanence. Designing with the Zen+Clay collection unleashes unlimited potential created from the interplay of the organic elements earth, water, fire, wind, and spirit.
