CADENCE COLLECTION

CADENCE COLLECTION
by ARCHITECTURAL COLLECTIONS.

Recently, Architectural Collections unveiled the Cadence Collection - an exquisite glass tile line with an array of mosaics, solid field tiles, blends, liners and culture brick tiles. After 25 years, Architectural Ceramics began designing, developing and manufacturing our own tile lines to sell in our retail locations, resulting in the birth of Architectural Collections (ACL). In 2008,
ACL decided to bring what they found successful in their showrooms to their compatriots around the country. Cadence is the result of our owners’ trek to the far reaches of the globe where they worked directly with artisans in the factories to create and design these unique ensembles for the private brand.
The inspiration for Cadence is pure and simple; we considered the best selling colors of granite & marble countertops from the Marble Institute of America.

We then combined this knowledge with our sales history of stones selected regularly, plus ceramic and glass tiles used in conjunction, to come up with this beautiful, functional and unified glass collection.

Keeping an environmental point of view in mind, the materials used and the palettes created for the Cadence Collection were inspired by nature and unified with fashion:

• NATURALS - Our glass collection inspired by nature’s subtle tones, 9 colors available in mosaics, combination matte and glossy culture brick, four field sizes and two trim profiles. Spa
like, soothing, clean and contemporary.

• REFLECTIONS - Special, undulated glass tiles that are a look and feel reminiscent of water running over pebbles. Six magnificent colors to choose from. Available in 2 field tiles, one liner and a mosaic.

• HARMONY - Mosaic blends which combine glass, porcelain and stone components plus elements of the other series in the Cadence Collection into a synergistic palette of colors and materials. Sixteen combinations.

• ECOLOGY - Unique and linear mosaic blends of exotic marbles, glass, and pebbles suspended in resin. Four pallets from which to choose. Use these blends horizontally or vertically for maximum visual impact; also affordable as liners
and borders.
