Maltese DP is the new floor and wall collection by Florida Tile. Inspired by a traditional limestone look, with small characteristic pits and slight veining but with our own unique twist. Using Florida Tile’s proprietary DP-Digital Printing technology we are able to create a superior natural stone look with the high shade variation and graphic resolution far beyond previous applications.
With a nod to the modernist style of mid-century American Designers like Phillip Johnson and Charles Eames, the minimalistic yet warm aesthetics of the Maltese DP make it the perfect backdrop for the style conscious. A versatile line, at home in a midwestern sub-urb, bank lobby, or boutique hotel the elegant look of limestone coordinates so well with any style.
Three earthy colors are delivered in a smooth natural finish for the porcelain floor tiles and ceramic wall. Decorative accents include an arabesque styled listello, M12 mosaic and full floor and wall bullnose package.
The product line has been tested and passed the new DCOF AcuTest for commercial floor installations, is Greenguard and Porcelain tile Certified, includes up to 40% pre-consumer recycled content and is made in the USA.

Digital Porcelain by Florida Tile utilizes the most technically advanced glazing system in the industry today, digital printing. Like the technology that changed the television industry, Digital Printing on ceramic and porcelain brings you the most realistic image possible, except it is on a tile.
Like any digital image, the graphics on tiles are made up of millions of small dots of color; higher the quantity and smaller the dots, the higher the definition. While this concept is simple in theory, it has taken decades of painstaking work to bring the technology from the research and development laboratories to the production line. Continuing to be an innovator in the industry, Florida Tile was the first manufacturer to use this technology in the United States.
