When you choose the right materials, a room becomes a work of art. A space to dream in, a space to be at your best... when you’ve been in rooms that were alive with refreshing beauty, how can you settle for anything less?

“Classic” doesn’t have to be stale. “Modern” doesn’t have to be boring. You don’t have to settle for the flat, the expected, the unimaginative. We design collections that feel fresh and sophisticated, for both modern and traditional projects.

Choose color with life in it.

Even our subtlest shades have breathtaking depth, because they’re hand applied by artisans, right here in the US. Share our philosophy... to always create, always innovate, always evolve towards the highest expression of our gifts. We design materials to inspire you to do the same. We create rooms that take you there, every day. Explore the catalogue, and start designing your next dream room. To learn more, and find a showroom near you, visit encoreceramics.com.

Jewel Palette (J) Gems that Crackle and Sparkle.

A feat of chemistry creates this signature look: we begin with a base matte glaze, and pour deep crackles into the pools of each design. The base matte stays visible at the edges and high points, while crackles sparkle in the cavities. See below to customize for your own exclusive design. Tip: (1-5) Numbers after each glaze name indicate its jewel “family.� Matching numbers can be used together for multi combinations.

MIX IT UP WITHIN A JEWEL FAMILY FOR A MULTI-HUED DESIGN. An Encore exclusive: Our Jewel Multi Palette offers you the option to combine compatible Jewel Palette Glazes together on many of our carved tiles. In this catalog, you’ll find a key under each pictured design (G, M, P, C, J) which tells you which palettes can be applied to that design. A very helpful asterisk (J*) tells you when a Jewel Multi (2 glazes) or a Jewel Triple Multi (J**) is possible with that design.

USE THIS CHART TO COMBINE YOUR JEWEL GLAZES WITHIN A SINGLE GROUP. Tip: (1-5) Numbers after each glaze name indicate its jewel “family.” Matching numbers can be used together for multi combinations.

Your Key to Color:

Listed under each piece are letters (G, M, C, P, Q, J) representing the different glaze palettes that are available to pair with that piece. Each palette behaves differently on a given carving style. So if a palette isn’t listed as approved for a certain piece, it doesn’t pass our Gorgeous Test. To make sure your project is incredible, we’ve listed only the palettes that pass with flying colors for each design. Isn’t that nice? 16

Technical Information & Mosaic Index

Technical Information Lead Times Encore lead times are typically 2-4 weeks. Large orders may take longer. Mosaics may take an additional 1-2 weeks due to the additional steps that go into assembling them. The ‘Target Ship Date’ is a goal we try hard to meet or beat. Although 98% of our orders go out on time, there are no guarantees in handcrafted ceramic manufacturing. Returns & Cancellations There are NO CANCELLATIONS after 24 hours. If you do need to place an add-on order, make sure that you reference your original PO number. Because everything you order is made custom for you, there are NO RETURNS. Applications Encore Ceramics are vitreous and frost resistant. They are suitable for indoor & outdoor applications, areas that experience freeze/thaw conditions, water applications (pools, saunas, steam rooms, fountains & showers) fireplaces & light duty floors. Residential & Commercial use are acceptable. Variation Encore Ceramics are custom handmade tiles. Due to the multiple glaze application process SHADE VARIATION is to be expected and appreciated. Some blue to purple clouding can be present in or near the jewel cavities and on the relief area. We refer to this reaction as ‘PARTY IN THE KILN’. The ‘PARTY’ makes it impossible for us to know how much or how many hues will occur on each piece of tile. Glaze colors may appear darker or lighter according to cavity size.

Variation cont. The Precocious Palette can take an opalescent quality; not all pieces will have it but it can be expected in the natural variation. ANY AND ALL RANGE CAN BE EXPECTED, so it is important that you take great care in blending the product prior to installation. Installation, Sealing and Maintenance Although Encore’s glazes and body are impervious to moisture, we still recommend sealing your tile to increase its longevity and ease of installation. SEALING IS CRITICAL FOR CRACKLE GLAZES - otherwise lines will potentially stain. Also, sealing matte finishes can be helpful in removing latex marks or stains, as the sealant fills tiny pores that may otherwise trap discoloring material. For everyday cleaning we recommend a neutral pH cleaner that removes dirt and soil buildup from tile such as mild non-acidic and non-abrasive soap. Mosaic Installation, Sealing and Maintenance We paper back our mosaic patterns. Patterns are available with a mesh back upon request. Photo Disclaimer We have included photographs in this guide to help you in your creative and communication process. The limiting nature of photography and printing on paper is inadequate to fully communicate the visual and tactile aspects of our tiles. Do not order based on photos - Always obtain current samples before ordering.

GREEN FROM THE GROUND UP Before (and after) green became cool, our sustainable manufacturing is still making waves.

SAVING ENERGY

Solar panels keep us on the bright side of energy use. Our solar array is one of the top 10 largest in the Northwest. With 176 sharp 165 watt solar panels on our roof, we generate 35 Megawatt hours annually. This saves over 70,000 lbs of CO2 emissions every year!

PUSHING PHYSICS TO THE MAX

Sustainable by design - beauty without sacrifice. We push physics to the max to be green. Our single-fire process saves 40% of the energy typically used to make tile. This is tough to do by any measure, but the gorgeous glaze and style effects in our collections make this an incredible feat. Our specialty kiln shelves save another 15% electricity,

CUTTING RAW WASTE COMPLETELY

Engineered efficiency, way beyond a little recycling. ALL raw waste is captured in our unusual production process. We’ve custom-designed extra steps to collect all waste clay, glaze, and water, and recycle it, until it leaves the building as a finished tile.

SAVING WATER

The river that we make our tile on is pristine, and we make sure it stays that way. No waste water, no kidding. :: It’s not enough to follow the laws, when they allow raw minerals down the drain. Our tile factory is the first we’ve ever seen to capture and distill all production waste water - without a single floor drain. Dramatically reduced water footprint. :: Making tile is usually a water intensive business. By designing our own clay body, glazes, and custom water recycling processes, we save almost almost half the water consumed in standard tile manufacturing - more than 40,000 gallons of water a year.

MORE THAN LIP SERVICE.

Not your average green washing - this is resource-full production, made to last. We’re passionate about the tile we make, the way we make it, and the people who design beautiful spaces with it. The way we see it, we don’t have a choice. How could we not make our production process as green as possible? We hope you share in our excitement, that every space you design with our tile is: -creating US jobs -diverting waste from landfills -avoiding CO2 emissions -saving water -protecting natural areas -made in a way that is safe to the artisans that produced it. 27
