The system, which was designed as a national merchandising program for tile, offers a plethora of colors, patterns and styles in a unit designed to appeal to retailers and consumers, according to Carpet One.
Like other Selectafloor systems, Selectafloor for Tile is organized according to lifestyle themes. The Rustic Collection features tile inspired by nature with organic colors, textures and patterns. The Classic Collection incorporates tasteful ceramic and porcelain tile. The Design Concepts Collection features a wide range of specialty styles and materials including leather, metal, glass, and stone.
