Crossville, TN -- As the exclusive tile supplier for the Gary Sinise Foundation’s R.I.S.E. program (Restoring Independence Supporting Empowerment) program, Crossville is honored to have contributed all the tile for the specially adapted smart home for U.S. Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Tech Taylor Morris and his family. The house was dedicated in a ceremony on April 5th in Iowa.

 

It’s exciting to know a deserving wounded warrior and his family are enjoying the comforts of a brand new, specially adapted smart home—and that our tile is a part of their everyday surroundings,” shares Lindsey Waldrep, Crossville’s vice president of marketing. “The tile options specified for EOD Tech Morris' home are not only beautiful but also practical for a busy family.”

More than 1,800 square feet of Crossville tile was installed in the master bath, the guest bath and the mudroom/sunroom. BK Flooring of Cedar Falls, IA, was the installer for all the tile, as well as the wood flooring, for the Morris home.

 

The master bath floor and shower feature Crossville’s Moonstruck collection in the Kosmos hue, a color that beautifully incorporate sandstone-textures and rich striations reminiscent of ancient native rock formations. The style helps to create a relaxing, neutral-toned space. In addition, the design team specified Yin + Yang for the shower floors. This specification adds a sense of balance with its mix of shape and sizes and offers the slip resistance required for wet area applications.

 

The designer also specified Moonstruck in Kosmos for the guest baths. In the mudroom/sunroom, the Moonstruck collection in Gemini provide a natural, rugged aesthetic and offers the lasting performance desired for such a busy area of the home.

 

“Our tile collections are a beautiful fit for this unique home, both in terms of its aesthetics and technical performance,” Waldrep summarizes. “The Morris family will be able to enjoy tile that will look great and stand up to constant use for years and years to come.”
