What you'll find inside

The brochure opens with the affordable-luxury narrative — durable ceramic with designer-grade aesthetics and manageable lead times — then walks the tier palette. Tier 1 page shows the 10-color core swatch set; Tier 3 covers two grids of 25 colors each with finish callouts (Gloss, Matte, Crackle). Mosaic pattern pages document each pattern with dimensions. Installation pages show how the tiles work in real applications: glossy green Bangalay subway with chevron floor in a brass-fixture bathroom; hexagonal blue and white floor; navy/cream/brown herringbone backsplash; vertically stacked white subway kitchen backsplash. Technical specifications cover gloss-glaze suitability for residential floors, walls, shower walls and floors plus commercial interior walls, matte-glaze interior applications, and crackle-glaze sealing requirements for interior walls only. The brochure closes with full terms-of-sale legal language, batch-variation disclaimers, moisture barrier installation guidance, and a no-returns policy on special orders.

For interior designers and tile installers spec'ing handmade ceramic, this 20-page Walker Zanger book covers the full 6th Avenue palette.
