By now, most savvy homeowners are fully aware of what designers, builders and architects have known for the past few years — quartz is king.



Unique in combining depth and colour consistency with low maintenance and durability, it has emerged as the preferred countertop material in homes across the country.



Beyond its ultra-durability, quartz has also become the focal point of kitchen and bathroom designs across North America because of its uniquely sophisticated and timeless look. Now these same distinct characteristics can also be found underfoot with the new elegant Accolade Quartz tile collection. This hot entry in the premium quartz surface category is poised to leave an imprint on this established décor trend.



"With a palette characterized for combining the most sought-after tones with extraordinary depth and clarity, this collection is design-driven for fashionable concepts," says Mark Hanna, president of Montreal-based Leeza Distribution Inc., one of North America's distributors of quartz surfaces. "Maintaining solid performance and durability, this quartz tile collection is suited for a wide range of design needs from contemporary accents to the latest trends."



The highlight of the collection is its unique colour palette.



"Superior hues and subtle colour distinctions, creating character, are vital components of innovative design," Hanna added. "This rich and varied pallet assures distinctive visual creations."

Engineered for design challenges in high-traffic areas, the tiles feature superior quartz combined with innovative technology, which assures exceptional resistance to harsh elements, abrasion and shock. They're non-porous, require no sealing and are designed to be virtually maintenance free.
