Crossville, a brand of AHF Products, has debuted Portland Cliff, a new tile collection that meshes historical inspiration with cutting-edge technology. Inspired by the Portland stone quarried exclusively on the Isle of Portland in South Dorset, England, Portland Cliff offers timeless elegance and natural authenticity to modern interiors.
“This collection is all about balance—between heritage and innovation, beauty and function,” says Terri Marion, product manager at Crossville. “Portland Cliff offers a versatile palette and format that works across residential and commercial applications, while honoring the timeless appeal of one of the world’s most iconic stones.”
The soft, organic surface of Portland Cliff is versatile with five neutrals to choose from including Blush, Echo, Cavern, Sheer, and Ashlar (pictured). To look and feel like natural Portland stone, the collection features Crossville’s Visual Touch Technology, a glazing innovation that mimics veining, linear patterns, and tonal variations.
“With Portland Cliff, we set out to capture the quiet strength and elegance of true Portland stone, but in a format that meets the performance demands of today’s spaces,” Marion says. “Thanks to our new Visual Touch Technology, designers and end users get not just the look, but also the tactile experience of natural stone—without the limitations.”
Available in 12×24 and 24×48 with a matte UPS finish or an exterior finish, Portland Cliff has coordinating trim pieces for cohesive installations. Crossville has also added two mosaic options: a 2×4 stacked mosaic and a barrel mosaic. Produced in the U.S., the carbon-neutral tile is made with up to 15% recycled content.
