DESIGNERS SELECT Resilient and Tile Flooring Designers select favorite resilient ﬂooring and tile products Barbara Turpin-Vickroy, IIDA Chilewich: Rib Weave chilewich.com Reader Service No. 225 Amtico: Shibori amtico.com Reader Service No. 226 Director of Interior Design CCS Architecture San Francisco “This new chunky, textural material weave of flat, dry colors has a very natural look to it. It’s a mat that comes self-bound and can be used in a variety of applications.” “Amtico has many resilient products, but this is the one I like because it looks like real wood. We’ve considered using this in a lot of restaurant projects where we need to meet a tight budget and schedule and have to deal with floor-height transitions from one material to another.” d’Andre Willis, AIA Apavisa: Otta apavisa.com Reader Service No. 227 Forbo: Marmoleum MCT forboflooringna.com Reader Service No. 228 Principal HGA Architects and Engineers Milwaukee “We used this porcelain floor tile in Antracita color laid in running bond pattern for a high-traffic area that needed good slip resistance. Otta met that need and has a handsome, tailored look.” “What’s old is new again! The colors available expand and support the natural and recycled material market. MCT quiets footfall noise and its fiberglass backing makes it tougher than comparable sheet goods.” Barry Richards Concrete Collaborative: Venice concrete-collaborative.com Reader Service No. 229 Ann Sacks Tile: Nocchio annsacks.com Reader Service No. 230 Principal, Studio Leader Rockwell Group New York “I love their polished and honed concrete tiles. The large and custom sizing is crucial because it allows for that high-end look, and they also remind me of the polished bricks of the Forbidden City.” “The collection has a beautiful palette of colors that bring the gray/black tones of antiqued and burnt woods to porcelain tile. This solution has the warmth of wood in a very durable product.” 70 contractdesign.com MARCH 2012 http://www.chilewich.com http://www.amtico.com http://www.apavisa.com http://www.forboflooringna.com http://www.concrete-collaborative.com http://www.annsacks.com http://www.contractdesign.com
