We've put together these examples of standard patterns that you can personalize simply with your own combinations of color and texture choices. With Crossville's unique color and design system, the pattern possibilities are endless.

Pattern Possibilities

Traditionally, tile has been installed in a basic grid pattern. You can vary this look simply by incorporating two different textures or two different colors into a checkerboard pattern. If you don't want the appearance of straight grout joints, stagger the grout joints, as shown in this layout Simple diagonal cuts combine straight and diagonal joints for a distinctive appearance.
BORDER PROGRAM Borders are a classic adaptation of the CROSSTYLE™ program and can help divide larger rooms or differentiate between diagonal and straight joint layouts...Borders that incorporate diagonal cuts can add life to your special room.
Change the appearance of your room while maintaining straight room while maintaining straight joints by placing your tile on a diagonal. Also, incorporating different textures in this pattern will add elegance. CROSS-COLORS® purposefully are designed to be made modular. That is, the 6" x 6", 8" x 8" and 12" x 12" tiles can be used together without cutting tiles to form your design. This pattern can be installed utilizing 12" x 12" and 6" x 6", 8" x 8"s and 4" x 4"s, or 6" x 6"s and 8" x 8"s. Creating elongated half tiles such as 4" x 8"s or 6" x 12"s offers a wide range of opportunities for your layout. Utilizing the modularity of CROSS-COLORS® and our VERANDA STONE™ series these layouts are available.
