“Tile Luxury”is no longer defined
by your surface materials, alone
Hickory, NC - David Scalise, Founder of
Tileware Products poses this question: “Do
you value thin-set?”
The answer is: “You Should!” because
TileWare is inventing solutions inside this
amazing material. TileWare Products is the
inventor of the PermaTile™ System. This
patented non-
penetrating,
non-intrusive
fastener works
with thin-set
mortar to cre-
ate the first ex-
clusive mount-
ing solution for
tile profession-
als like you.
Tileware’s high
quality stainless steel fastening
component will attach with un-
precedented strength in latex
modified mortar. This system
provides a solution that is sim-
ple and measurably strong. The
PermaTile™ System attaches
to - not through and will end un-
necessary damages resulting
from drilling finished tile work.
Tileware’s Promessa™ Series
Baskets together with Perma-
Tile™ Fasteners are enhancing
your value proposition as a tile
professional.

Perfectly Match Any Surface with
Floor Vent Covers from Greater LLC
Portland, OR - Years in the planning,
Greater LLC was founded in 2012 by Miro-
slav Kukla and his son Dominic. Miroslav,
a superior craftsman, had been perfecting
tile floor vent covers for over 7 years, mostly
as a side-project. With more than 25 years
experience in the construction business, he
knew he was making something special.
So did his son Dominic who wanted to help
take the business to the next level.
Custom vent cov-
ers can be made out
of natural stone, por-
celain, slate, granite,
marble, or any other
kind of tile and is sup-
ported by a 3/16” aluminum backing. Easy
to install, remove, clean or work around.,
the vents are flush with the floor and fixed in
place, simplifying mopping and sweeping.
When ordering, you will need to provide
Greater LLC with the material you want your
vent cover(s) to match. Call 971-563-2811
or visit greaterllc.com for more information.

Miami- FL, The Crayola Glass Tile Collec-
tion will be showcased at Coverings 2013 in
Atlanta April 29 - May 2 with more shapes,
colors and revenue-building opportunities
than one could shoot a water-gun at!
The new Crayola Recycled Collection
consists of 36 solid colors in two finishes
and nine special blends. Approved for both
floor and wall use in commercial as well as
residential applications, finished products
from this new series (which contain 99% re-
cycled glass) result in being SCS-certified,
making them ideal for any LEED project.
These will be exhibited at Coverings along
with the original Crayola Glass Tile Collec-
tion, which debuted last year, that includes
42 solid colors, 18 blends and 6 special
shaped (puzzle) mosaics.
Miami-based Surfaces, Inc., one of the
nation’s premier producers and suppliers of
glass tile in conjunction with Crayola, LLC,
the Easton, Pa.- based brand known for its
iconic art tools that inspire kids’ creative
expression, which has 99% name recogni-
tion in U.S. consumer households, will be
bringing this colorful All-American glass tile
range to the exposition.
“Crayola is a wonderful, well-respected
American brand-name,” stated Paul J.
Young, CEO
of Surfaces,
Inc. “It’s a
name asso-
ciated with
beautiful col-
ors, creativ-
ity… and of
course, with
c h i l d r e n .
When one as-
sociates the
word ‘kids’
with ‘creative
colors,’ it’s
a safe bet
that the word
‘Crayola’ will
pop up as
well. And,
we’re taking this “green” collection to a new
level by offering a myriad of unique, busi-
ness-building opportunities for progressive
tile marketers across the country.”
“Our partnership with Surfaces allows
us to bring Crayola colors into homes in a
unique way by bringing fun and creativity to
kids’ spaces,” said Crayola Vice President
of Licensing Warren Schorr. “The colors are
vibrant and
the shapes
are play-
ful and fun.
The Cray-
ola Glass
Tile Collec-
tion colors

Elite Designs Introduces a New Line of Merchandising Displays
and Sample Boards at Coverings #4603

Florence, AL -The line between a success-
ful, profitable flooring installation and one
that involves costly demolition and repair is
often confronted at the subfloor portion of
the project. HPS Schönox has entered the
North American marketplace with products
that are designed to remedy tough subfloor
issues.
Every pro installer knows that a great
flooring installation is only as strong as the
subfloor below it. Schönox provides a wide
variety of self leveling materials designed
to work with an array of substrates. “I’ll
never go back to the older methods for lev-
eling and preparing subfloors,” said Steve
Triplett, a veteran installer based in Nash-
ville, TN. “The Schönox products provide a
smooth, strong subfloor ready for any type
of flooring installation.”
Schönox helps you go from rough, uneven
substrates to smooth subfloors and finally
to attractive final flooring installations us-
ing a comprehensive line of subfloor prod-
ucts. Primers, repair mortars, floor leveling
compounds, and adhesives are designed
to save time and money with their unique
product characteristics.
Founded in Germany just over 120 years
ago, Schönox is active in dozens of coun-
tries. Now the company is making a com-
prehensive series of primers, repair mortars,
floor leveling compounds, and adhesives
available to professional installers. “We
have a unique opportunity for the industry
to use products that will save them time
and money while at the same time result-
ing in better flooring installations,” explained

The Best Floors are Based on Subfloors from Schönox
Transforms
FROM HERE
TO THERE
FROM HERE: No one expected this one hundred plus year old concrete to be in
good shape. The floor was damaged and worn from use, the demolition of former
dividing walls within the space, and past efforts to level the floor. None of those
factors changed the expectation for a smooth, even flooring installation at the end
of the project.
TO THERE: Debris was removed and the substrate vacuumed, followed by a
coat of Schönox VD, a universal acrylic primer that increases the adhesion of the
leveling compound. From there Schönox AP, the company’s synthetic gypsum
self leveling compound, was poured filling imperfections and providing a smooth
subfloor.
Enos Farnsworth, President of HPS North
America, Inc.
HPS Schönox has just launched a new
website, hpsubfloors.com, that many in-
stallers are visiting to learn more about the
products. “I suspect my colleagues in the
industry will make the switch to Schönox
as soon as they get the chance to see the
products work,” said Triplett. “There’s a bet-
ter way to subfloor now.”
For more information, HPS Schönox
can be reached at 855-391-2649

For designers, fab-
ricators and other
stone professionals
tired of the “usual”
countertop colors
and patterns, Exotic
Stone, LLC provides
an unparalleled se-
lection of exotic nat-
ural Indian marble
and granite.
Robert and Lidia
Cloos, founders of
Exotic Stone LLC,
have been based
in India for the last
few years and have
recently relocated the business to
Southern Florida. They will intro-
duce their beautiful range of natural
stone products to the U.S. market
at Coverings 2013, booth# 5172
Robert Cloos entered the industry
in 2001 as a buyer of imported Italian
marble and Brazilian granite that he
resold to builders and developers of
high end residential and commercial
projects in the mountain resort towns
of Colorado. Later on he traveled
abroad and settled in India where
he discovered a magnificent exotic
natural colored marble and granite
industry.
While in India, putting his experi-
ence and knowledge of the industry
to use, he established good business
relationships with the major natural
stone quarry owners and processors.
He purchased and exported natural
stone to project developers in the Middle
East and S. Korea. While on a business trip
to S.Korea, he was lucky enough to meet
his future wife, Lidia, who joined the busi-
ness as his partner.
Realizing they had a unique, direct access
to a range of colors and patterned stones
not readily available to U.S. buyers, the
Clooses chose to relocate their business
to the U.S. where they can import directly
from Indian quarries and offer excellent
quality and very competitive pricing. They
will be selling the “finest” export quality from
the best processors they can find, and they
have “on site” quality control to inspect each
shipment before it is exported.
For more information about the most unique
colors and patterns for countertop and other
natural stone applications,

petitive prices.
ABS was a major player in “computer-
izing” the flooring, tile and stone industry
back in the 1970’s, way before the internet,
when the very idea of computers was new
and only accounting was automated with
simple programs. Early on, they innovated
solutions to meet distributors’ needs to au-
tomate inventory control and check stock
in all branch locations, regardless of where
they were located. They devised ways to
run powerful programs using the limited ca-
pacity of early computers.
As technology improved, ABS constantly
innovated their programs and services.In
2000, they developed an internet-based e-
commerce version of their COLA (Customer
On-Line Access) software, allowing custom-
ers to check stock, pricing, product informa-
tion and the status of existing orders, place
orders, print confirmation documents, and
much more, all in real-time.
With each advance in computer and soft-
ware technology through the 90s and 2000s,
ABS has stayed out front introducing Floor-
Pro® III ERP (Enterprise Resource Plan-
ning), RFID (Radio Frequency Identifica-
tion) support, which automatically identifies
products in the warehouse or retail location
and tracks their location and movement with
no manual intervention required, and more.
Today, the ABS smartphone app and in-
tegration of QR codes are a long way from
industry software of the ‘70s! And whatever
your inventory software needs, ABS can
help.

Saint-Sauver, QC, Canada - The problem
of Grout haze now has a convenient, all
natural solution with the introduction of New
Haze b Gone!
Grout haze is the film of excess grout left
on tiles as a result of a fresh grout applica-
tion. This film disrupts the aesthetics of the
tile surface. New tile floors or freshly grout-
ed tile walls often suffer from grout haze, a
problem that has been almost impossible to
prevent.
Haze b Gone for use on ceramic, porcelain,
and most natural stone tiles such as marble
and granite saves money by substantially
reducing overall installation time. It’s Safe!
No dangerous chemicals are used. No wa-
ter or harsh liquids are required.
The ideal time to clean up grout haze is about
24 hours after the grout is set but Haze b Gone
works just as well on existing haze.
