About this tile
Civilization by Crossville
Civilization captures the refined character of basalt stone- smooth, fine‑grained, and naturally varied from light to dark. This USA‑made porcelain line pairs subtle crystalline movement with a modern, unpolished surface, making it a versatile choice for contemporary spaces.
Designed for performance as much as style, Civilization features Cross‑Sheen® for easier cleaning and maintenance, and is rated for a wide range of interior and select exterior applications. Multiple colors echo the natural spectrum of basalt, delivering depth and visual interest with V3 moderate variation.
