New Partnership Makes Tile Shopping ‘Pono’

Great news for those in search of affordable tile options that provide designer-quality outcomes — City Mill is partnering with Trevor Thompson, founder of Hawai‘i-based Pono Stone, to launch a new ASPEC tile range that offers the aesthetic beauty and chic style of elite-tier stone tiles at a frac- tion of the price. The stylish, DIY tiles for walls and floors are available in porcelain, ceramic and mosaic, allowing interior designers to easily transform any space Let the Bottles Make the Floor It’s a great feeling when you can create an amazing aesthetic you desire while remaining environmentally conscious. BottleFloor is a new collection of hybrid flooring made from post- consumer recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, with 62 bottles, on average, used per square yard. It’s the first PVC-free flooring of its kind to feature recycled PET as its main component, offering both the durability of a hard surface and the comfort of a soft one, while also remaining stain- and slip-resistant.

ering what Thompson describes as a perfect solution “to help homeowners and devotee interior designers easily transform their kitchen, bathroom or other areas of their home with a well- designed tiled wall or backsplash to instantly modernize their space.” City Mill President and CEO Steven Ai agrees, saying his company is “excited to offer our customers City Mill-exclusive tiles that provide multi- purpose options for Hawai‘i’s climate

— from interior entrances and lanais to kitchen backsplashes and shower walls — into a modern, updated masterpiece. ASPEC tiles can be used to create horizontal and vertical designs using stacked or offset patterns, with pric- ing ranging from 69 cents to just under $6 per square foot — an impressive savings compared to the $10 per square foot commonly charged for limestone. The tiles are available at all eight City Mill locations in Hawai‘i, deliv-

and lifestyle.” citymill.com, ponostonehawaii.com — Andy Beth Miller
