LAKELAND, FL--(Marketwire - August 12, 2009) - Florida Tile would like to announce its newest series, Formations, a modern interpretation of a stone look, created in a stylized version of Slate. The finish is subtly flecked and shimmers in the light, playing with the texture and colors on the face of the tile; it creates a dramatic effect. Comprised of Through-Body Porcelain, the surface has a medium texture that lends itself nicely to the bold color palette.

Formations is GREENGUARD and GREENGUARD for Children and Schools certified, and ADA compliant. Formations is also a certified porcelain by the Porcelain Tile Certification Agency. This full package of trim, decos and technical standards makes Formations ideal for commercial or residential applications.

Florida Tile is a fully owned subsidiary of Panariagroup, a public company on the Milan Stock Exchange (MILAN: PAN IM) and a leading manufacturer and distributor in over 60 countries around the world, through six manufacturing sites in Italy, Portugal and the USA and eight brands positioned in the high-end of the market. www.panariagroup.it
