Midfirst Bank in Tulsa, Oklahoma, has created a commercial space to envy. The architect chose our Caithness Ebano field tile in a large-scale pattern. This exceptional Charcoal Brazilian Slate with subtle natural clefting is ideal for both modern architecture and historical buildings alike. It is perfect for high-usage spaces like this bank lobby. A classic charcoal tone adds to this slate’s versatility. High-performance qualities like less than 1% absorption and exceptional density make it less permeable to liquids and easy to maintain.
”The architect was looking for a durable yet economical flooring material for this high traffic area. We felt the Caithness Ebano was a perfect fit. Both the architect and designer are very pleased with how it turned out and said they will spec it again.”
Tile enhancing sealers are crafted to highlight your stone’s natural color. If you are looking for a wet tile look that achieves a deeper color and luster when dry, an enhancer is a key ingredient. Enhancers can add various color depths to the surface of your stone. Please note that it is also a sealer so it will provide a barrier to stains and protects the stone. Whether you’d like to enhance your stone or not, it’s important to still seal the stone.
