A PITTSBURGH HILLSIDE INSPIRED A NATCO VITRITILE WALL DESIGN
SBURGH HILLSIDE" is the subject of this colorful, symbolic mural-wall created through the imaginative use of ceramic glazed Natco Vitritile.
When the advertising agency of Ketchum, McLeod and Grove, Inc. recently moved its headquarters into the new Gateway Four Building in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, managing art director Hall was given the assignment of designing the employees' canteen.
On one of the walls Mr. Hall used a colorful selection of ceramic glazed Natco Vitritile units as an "art medium" to symbolize a typical Pittsburgh scene... the town houses which appear to be haphazardly stacked along the city's steep hillsides. The pleasing result of the Vitritile mural-wall is shown in the photograph above.
Ceramic glazed Natco Vitritile is a genuine, load-bearing clay tile product that will always retain its original "new look." Vitritile-available in 44 standard and accent colors offers an unlimited choice of modern color combinations.
Why not use Vitritile to enhance the beauty of your next new building?
