AHF Products Unveils Crossville® Sand Garden™ Porcelain Tiles – Tranquil By Touch

AHF Products is showing Crossville® Sand Garden™ porcelain tiles, a collection inspired by the natural beauty of dry gardens and the meditative simplicity of raked sand, at the NeoCon 2025 tradeshow. Designed to bring tranquility and organic elegance into any space, Sand Garden merges advanced design technology with timeless aesthetic values, offering a unique tile collection that enhances both visual appeal and sensory experience.

At the heart of this collection is its innovative textured finish, celebrating nature’s quiet complexity through a hyperrealistic fusion of texture and graphic, made possible by new Crossville Visual Touch™ technology. As an evolution of its celebrated Marblique™ collection, Sand Garden carries forward the essence of tactile authenticity while embracing a more contemporary, nature-forward design language. Visual Touch technology brings texture and tone together in a way that’s both modern and deeply corporeal.

This multi-sensory quality is what sets Sand Garden apart, making it the perfect choice for spaces intended to promote calm, relaxation, and connection with nature.

The texture of Sand Garden tiles embodies the principles of wabi-sabi, the Japanese aesthetic that celebrates natural imperfections and the beauty of simplicity. Just as the irregularities in nature evoke a sense of harmony, the nuanced surface of each tile adds a grounding, authentic quality to any room. These textural variations make Sand Garden not just a visual experience, but a reminder of the calming beauty of the world around us.

With its distinctive raked surface, subtle grooves, and irregular angles, Sand Garden porcelain tile offers a tactile narrative that invites touch, light play, and visual exploration. Its unpolished finish and layered tone-on-tone shading echo plaster, weathered stone, and hand-scraped clay. The semi-polished finish adds a dimensional sheen by highlighting raised areas, offering soft light play that shifts with the day. This interplay of texture and tone reflects a Japandi elegance—rooted in the imperfect, the weathered, and the real.

“Japanese style is increasingly influencing interiors, with Pinterest searches for ‘Zen house’ up in triple digits, pegged on people ‘looking for inspiration to balance comfort, style, and tranquility in their homes’,” said Terri Marion, Product Manager-Crossville. “Sand Garden aligns with this trend, providing a contemporary take on the Japanese appreciation for quiet beauty, grounded design, and a connection to nature.”

Available in four soothing colors—Thoughtful Taupe, Meditative Mushroom, Contemplative Cream, and Profound Pewter—Sand Garden tiles come in both unpolished and semi-polished finishes, offering flexibility for diverse design styles. The collection includes 12? x 24? and 24? x 24? field tiles, along with two complementary mosaic patterns, bullnose and cove base trim, allowing designers and homeowners to create a wide range of looks—from contemporary minimalism to more traditional, nature-inspired spaces.

Proudly manufactured in the USA, Sand Garden is Green Squared® certified, ensuring that the collection is not only beautiful but also environmentally responsible. Crafted from local, natural materials in Crossville, Tennessee, this collection reflects Crossville’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and quality craftsmanship.

Whether for a spa-like bathroom, a tranquil living room, or a Zen-inspired commercial environment, Sand Garden creates an enduring sense of peace, beauty, and mindfulness that will transform any space into a personal retreat.
