PORTLAND, Ore. (July 25, 2024) – Ann Sacks has introduced to its popular Laurelhurst collection a Grey colorway to join the existing Beige and White shades. Originally introduced in 2022, with additions unveiled in 2023, Laurelhurst offers a robust portfolio that includes a mosaic, nine unique patterns with multiple field sizes, and a complementing trim, all designed to finish any room beautifully.

Exclusive to ANN SACKS, Laurelhurst hails from Italy and is crafted from porcelain, a forgiving medium that can withstand high heat, be submerged, and is not affected by freeze/thaw conditions. Laurelhurst is executed with a rectified edge for a tight grout line for seamless installations. The new Grey colorway features soft pearly tones, its soft shading the perfect neutral to complement virtually any space.

The designs are sold by the box and competitively priced, making Laurelhurst ideal for large scale residential and commercial applications. Each pattern features a different surface treatment adding to its tactile qualities and visual presence and can be mixed and matched adding additional contrast and surface movement:

Laurelhurst Flamed: A 24”x48” field tile offered in Grey and White, the textural, single-color field gently undulating adding dimension and shifting movement.

Laurelhurst Grooved: A 24”x48” offered in Grey, Beige, and White and begins with a single-color field, the surface then slightly distressed in a linear striae pattern.

Laurelhurst Natural: Available in a 12”x24” and 24”x48” field tile offered in Grey, Beige, and White and has a smooth, velvety surface quality to its design, its surface interrupted by slight surface demarcations.

Laurelhurst Cracked: Available in a 24”x24” and a 24”x48” field tile offered in Grey and Beige and presents a similar, engaging hand as that of Natural, the field broken by light, random sweeps of veining.

Laurelhurst Hammered: A 24”x48” field tile offered in Grey, Beige, and White, its surface a lively field of mottling and pooling, like that of fine limestone.

Laurelhurst Mixed: A 3”x24” plank size in Grey, Beige, and White, its surface a gentle contrast of shifting shades in a combination of Natural, Hammered, and Cracked finishes.

Laurelhurst Peggy Glossy: A 24”x48” field tile offered in Beige and reminiscent of the flooring that has paved Italian homes and countryside since the 16th century, its deep black field contrasted by random chunky-to-round varying sized beige stones.

Laurelhurst Patchy: A 24”x48” Grey field tile with a rustic surface application adding definition and tactility.

Laurelhurst Happy: A 24”x48” field tile offered in White and a playful take on terrazzo design, the white field scattered with tiny cream to caramel stones.

Due to its porcelain body, Laurelhurst can be used in a wide range of applications, including submerged areas, such as pools, patios, outdoor kitchens, and decks. Laurelhurst also accommodates areas of high heat with ease making it a good choice for fireplace surrounds and behind-the-range installations. Porcelain is also a performance tile by its very composition, with an easy maintenance, while remaining beautiful and staying true to its original color for years.
