Cross-Sheen® and Hydrotect™CROSS-SHEEN®Protect your Crossville tile from stains, scuffs and graffitiCross-Sheen®, exclusively from Crossville, is an invisible, integratedfinish that protects the look of nearly any Crossville tile from the defacingeffects of scuffs, stains, even permanent marker, and graffiti. Bycreating an advanced, easier-to-clean tile surface, Cross-Sheen allowsfor fast removal of unsightly marks using only mild cleaner, resultingin truly hassle-free installation, cleaning and long-term maintenance ofyour Crossville tile.Unlike expensively applied, non-permanent anti-graffiti coatings,Cross-Sheen is incorporated directly into the surface of the tile, so itwill never scrape off or wear off. Made in the USA to stringentspecifications, Cross-Sheen is a beautifully advanced solution forexterior and interior walls and interior flooring in residential orcommercial applications.http://crossvilleinc.com/solutions/cross-sheen/*Excluding Polished (PO), Honed (HON) and Satin (SAT) finish tiles Cross-Sheen® is recommended for interior floors and walls and exterior walls. Photo courtesy: Technical Imagery StudiosHYDROTECT™ COATINGOur porcelain tiles are available with Hydrotect. Crossville’srevolutionary invisible coating harnesses the power of light, water, andoxygen to create the best defense against dirt and pollution. Whetherindoors or out, floors and walls stay cleaner, providing a superiorexperience in any space. For complete details check our website atCrossvilleInc.com.Self Cleaning.Imagine an exterior facade that cleans naturally with just water, saving you maintenance costs and keeping your design looking great. Unlike most surfaces, tilescoated with Hydrotect™ by Crossville® attract water to the surface. With rain, water is able to get under dirt and grime and wash it away, naturally. And better yet,everyday exterior humidity causes a fine film of water to build on the tile, preventing the adhesion of dust and oily dirt. Even algae is no match for Hydrotect. Thephotocatalytic process degrades it naturally, so no toxic chemicals are needed to keep your building looking sharp.Air Purifying.Hydrotect™ by Crossville® purifies exterior air by reducing greenhouse gases, environmental pollutants and volatile organic compounds. When exterior walls coatedwith Hydrotect by Crossville are exposed to light, nitrogen oxides produced by exhaust fumes and smoke break down into harmless nitrates. In fact, a 10,000-square-foot area of tiles can clean the air as effectively as 70 poplar trees or green space the size of four tennis courts.From corporate to healthcare and hospitality, to retail, architects and designers, count on Crossville to deliver the distinctly American, uniquely Crossville designaesthetic with American-made ingenuity.Visit CrossvilleInc.com or contact our technical support staff to learn more. 150
