ABC Trading Co., Ltd. Adds New 'Venice Villa Solid' Series to Ceramic Tile Terrazzo Line

ABC Trading Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Shigeki Higashikawa), which develops, manufactures, imports, and sells building materials, has added 'Venice Villa Solid' as a new series to its ceramic tile terrazzo 'Venice Villa' line. This new series features nuanced, near-solid colors. The 'Venice Villa Series' consists of terrazzo-patterned ceramic tiles produced by a sophisticated method of kneading tile chips into the base material and firing them. In recent years, designs incorporating solid colors as an accent in spaces have gained attention. In response to this demand, 'Venice Villa Solid' offers subtle nuances of near-solid colors and an elegant finish. The color palette includes 10 shades, such as various gray tones with different contrasts, deep browns and blacks, neutral blues with a hint of gray, and pink, which is expected to be a future trend, all easy to incorporate into various spaces. It is available in two finishes: matte and grip. It can be widely used as an accent in combination with existing 'Venice Villa Series' tiles, as well as stone-look or cement-look ceramic tiles. Due to its solid structure, it is easy to process, allowing for natural finishes in areas where edges are visible, such as baseboards and external corners. It achieves a recycled material ratio of over 40%, contributing to environmental protection and sustainability. It has obtained GREENGUARD certification and LEED® certification, and as an EPD declared product, it contributes to reducing environmental impact. The company aims for sales of 50 million yen for this product within three years. In addition to this product, the company has newly added eight other ceramic tiles and will continue to propose them for hotels, commercial facilities, stores, and residences.
