Daltile - Monterrey, MX – Large Unit Wall Tile

Dal-Tile brands of ceramic tile are a mixture of multiple mineral-based natural materials, that can include various combinations of clay, sand, feldspar, talc, nepheline, shale and/or others. The tiles are either pressed or extruded into the desired shape and generally receive a glaze or ceramic ink application to the surface prior to being fired in kilns at high temperatures. The finished product, ceramic or Large Unit Wall Tile, is fire resistant, non-combustible, durable (lasts a lifetime) and extremely easy to maintain.

As floor and wall coverings, fired tile products provide dual functions. They serve 1) an aesthetic function as a design component, and 2) a technical function as a building finishing material. As a building material, fired tile is capable of withstanding a wide range of environmental stresses.

The versatility of fired tile is further enhanced by the extensive ranges of colors, textures, and decorative motifs offered by Dal-Tile under multiple brand names. Dal-Tile has multiple manufacturing locations producing products in a wide range of sizes from less than 1"x1" to 30"x60".

Not all requirements in the GPI are fulfilled, particularly the requirement, for construction products, to follow EN 15804 for certain aspects of the LCA method. This EPD is based on a PCR that satisfies procurement rules at the federal, state, and municipal levels which call for EPDs based on the UL Part B PCR. The ULPart B PCR was used to meet regulatory (example: Buy Clean California Act, etc.) and market expectations (example: Building Transparency EC3 comparisons, LEED and existing vendor procurement requirements, product scoring programs, etc.). The EPD should not be used outside of this context.
