Is the Mission Barrel tile new for Florida? Any particular advantages or disadvantages to that style?
The Mission Barrel is one of the oldest product lines we have. The advantage of the two piece Mission Barrel tile is most simply the aesthetic result – high profile, old world charm. The disadvantages would be in the higher product and installation cost and the shrinking number of artisans to install this more labor intensive product. The one piece tiles (such as the Espana, Vanguard Roll, Villa, etc.) are more widely used now for those reasons.
