H I G H p E R f O R M A N C E OutStand’s patent-pending glaze technique creates a crystalline-shield-like layer of protection, which will last the life of the tile. That’s why tiles manufactured with OutStand Technology™ have superior surface wear resistance, and are perfect for heavy commercial applications.

M I C R O B A N ® A N T I M I C R O B I A l T E C H N O l O G YDuring the manufacturing process, the glaze is infused with Microban® Antimicrobial Technology, which inhibits the growth of stain- and odor-causing bacteria on the surface of the tile. The result is an additional layer of durable, long lasting protection, keeping the tile cleaner between cleanings.

C O N T I N U O U S p R OT E C T I O NMicroban® Technology is incorporated into the glaze during the manufacturing process, so it starts working the moment the tile is complete. Unlike other antimicrobial agents on the market, Microban® doesn’t require UV light to be effective. It won’t wash off or wear away, giving your design an added level of durable, long lasting protection — and it’s perfect for high traffic environments.

p T C A C E R T I f I E dSome foreign imports entering the market today claim to be porcelain tile, but do not actually meet the U.S. standards for porcelain — putting you at risk of specifying an inferior product for your project. PTCA protects you by guaranteeing the products you specify are, in fact, porcelain tiles.

Microban® protection makes Urban Tones™ a great fit for use in education, healthcare, and other high traffic environments — as well as residential applications.
