2016 Home of Distinction by Modern Tampa Bay Homes Showcases 6 Versatile Tile Styles

TAMPA, Fla. - April 4, 2016 - PRLog -- The 2016 Home of Distinction created by Modern Tampa Bay Homes and located at 4005 Bayshore Boulevard, Tampa, FL 33611 showcases the versatility of tile. The 5000 square feet modern contemporary home with 4 bedrooms, a guest house and outdoor pool features 6 tile styles from Tile Outlets of America.

"Modern Tampa Bay Homes had a specific contemporary urban look in mind when we first met to discuss tile for this Home of Distinction," says Kate Spencer, vice president of purchasing & business development for Tile Outlets of America. "The six tile styles you'll find in this home perfectly capture that look and feel."

Modern Tampa Bay Homes builds modern homes for people with sophisticated, highly selective tastes. They create exterior designs that stand out, yet still fit in, creating a constant visual interaction between any structure and its environment.

This Home of Distinction features spacious entertainment areas including a large TV viewing space and game room along with a 1,000 square foot, third floor deck overlooking the cityscape and Tampa Bay. The home has state-of-the-art LED lighting and solar energy for an innovative and energy efficient home. The narrow lot inspired a unique solution outdoors with turf grass to replace a hard driveway and maximize space for play and recreation atypical of confined urban spaces.

The six tile styles showcased in this Home of Distinction include:

·  Astorga Blanco 12x36 - These white shiny wall tiles have a raised glaze of silver splashed on the tile to create a graphic design. The silver adds shine and shimmer shine against the white background in the Master Bathroom.

·  Eneas Blanco 12x24 - This white wall tile features a raised wavy design that is ideal as an accent wall in combination with a coordinating solid white tile or for the entire bathroom. Since it is rectified, it can be installed with clean minimal grout lines. This wall tile was used in the upstairs Guest Bathroom.

·  Marmo Borghini Luster Deco 10x26 - This wall tile has the look of Carrara marble with a shimmer of luster in the pieces to give it a shine.  It, too, can be used as an accent piece with field tile or for the entire wall. The Home of Distinction used this wall tile in the downstairs Guest Bathroom.

·  Bizote White 8x20 - The Bizote wall tile is a beveled 8x20 white wall tile. The beveled edge adds richness to the look and design. This tile was used in the Guest Living Bathroom over the garage.

·  Titan Cemento 24x48 - This large format porcelain cement looking tile is installed on the entire Main Floor of the home. The Titan series is a cool cement look that is uniform throughout. The large format adds a sense of zen tranquility to the space.

·  Frenchwood Elm 8x48 - This wood look plank porcelain tile is an 8x48 pressed plank in a nice cool grey tone with wood grains to look like real wood. The Frenchwood wood plank tiles are installed on the Second Floor of the home.

"These six tile styles are so versatile that they can be used in a modern urban setting such as the Home of Distinction as well as in more traditional settings," says Spencer. "All six items, as well as similarly inspired sizes and looks, are available in-stock at Tile Outlets of America or through special order."

From April 15th - April 24th (Fridays and Saturdays 10-5, Sundays 12-5), the public is invited to tour this Home of Distinction to raise funds for the Shriners Hospitals for Children which will receive 100% of the proceeds from tour ticket sales. Tickets for the tour can be purchased for $10 at the home. The Tampa Shriners Hospital focuses on a wide range of pediatric orthopedic conditions, including rare diseases and syndromes. All services are provided in a family-centered environment, regardless of the families' ability to pay.
