Innovative Tile Systems (ISB)
Ceramic sanitary base creates a hygienic method for treating floor to wall tile transitions. Very few floor tile manufacturers produce a sanitary base to match their product. Many of the pieces that are produced can be costly and may not guarantee a perfect match. The tile industry has found other methods of keeping the floor to wall transition sanitary by using coved stainless steel, aluminum, or plastic strips. While these products create sanitary conditions, they lack in aesthetic value. Inspired by the industrys need for an affordable base that can match the materials of the room perfectly.
