A Letter From
Our Founder
Where has the time gone? Was it really 40 years ago that I
came to Phoenix and started Facings of America? I know
of so many businesses that have come and gone in that
time, but Facings has grown and changed over the
decades, just like the valley and the construction industry.
Through the hard work of many talented employees
over the years, the loyalty and recommendations of repeat
customers, and the encouragement of family and friends,
Facings has grown to become an industry leader and a
family-owned and -operated business in which I take
great pride.
Our industry experience has repeatedly proven that by
involving Facings of America early in your project we can
often find ways to save you money and help you create a
superior design. Our extensively-trained design
consultants evaluate all aspects of your project and,
working within your budget, propose creative design ideas.
Our portfolio includes some of the biggest, most-beautiful
and spectacular projects, as well as the smallest of
bathroom and kitchen remodels. Regardless of size, each
project is provided “white glove” treatment because we
believe you deserve it.
Facings’ competitive advantage is that we become a
partner with you and your team in your project. We read
and, more importantly, understand your blueprints, identify
Architectural Feature™ opportunities (hand-carved
fireplaces, door/window surrounds, columns, fountains,
etc.) and work closely with your team throughout your
project to ensure all needs are being met. We offer you
the largest and most unique selection of products for your
flooring, bathroom and kitchen needs. We pay particular
attention to creating your own special outdoor living areas
with a focus on pool coping and decking materials
knowing that in today’s world so much of your leisure and
entertaining time will be spent outdoors.
Let this resource guide fill you with inspiration and please
visit one of our award-winning showrooms. We are
regularly told “I wish I had selected Facings, if only…”.
Make the right choice and visit us soon. I guarantee you
the best buying experience in the industry.

History
Welcome to the world of Facings of America, where we
believe in inspiration, authenticity, dreams, and vision. We
recognize these qualities define everything we are as a
company and all that we wish for our clients.
Facings of America began humbly in 1967, in a trailer in
Phoenix, Arizona. The dusty, hot desert was the kind of
place only a hard-working visionary could imagine grand
dreams becoming reality. It was here that Dick van Gilse
founded Facings of America.
Facings Circa 1967
As the years passed, Facings became the industry leader,
constructive in the creation of the Ceramic Tile Distributors
Association. Facings brought many tile lines to the
western states and simultaneously began developing
completely new materials from foreign countries and
creating a market for them in the United States. We were
one of the first companies to introduce stone flooring for
Dick van Gilse at the factory in Italy
examining the quality of the
stone production.
residential applications and we continue to set the trends
that have been key ingredients in Facings’ success.
2 | facingsofamerica.com
The company has flourished over the years and we have
made changes, the showrooms have expanded, the
products have evolved to the most current and unique,
and another generation has joined the business.
But some things will never change at Facings of America
because we believe in the traditions and values that bring
us our success.
Our Guarantee:
We will always provide the highest quality
products, service and buying experience for
our clients.
We will continue to develop and introduce new,
fresh and unique products to the market.
We will uphold our belief that good business is
based on strong relationships; with our clients
and distributors, with our employees and
community, here in the U.S. and abroad.
Our resource guide shows you examples of our products
and, we hope, fills you with inspiration.

Fireplaces
Our fireplace surrounds are beautiful. Our hand-carved
travertine and limestone fireplaces stand out for their

sell less expensive pre-cast, faux stone, and massproduction fireplaces.

blueprints, defining correct proportions, creating authentic
designs, carving intricate details and delivering truly oneof-a-kind products.

big problem off
our shoulders.

impossible to

Stone Tile Finishes
Filled & Honed
One of our most popular finishes due to its refinement
and sheen that goes with any décor or style. Inclusions in
the stones are filled with a color epoxy during production
and the entire piece is honed creating a look between a
polished and natural finish. The final product has a warm,
yet soft appearance.
Shown in Pietra Vecchio
Unfilled & Honed
The stone is honed to just the proper sheen and texture
and is suitable for most contemporary applications. This
finish is usually reserved for our elite limestone collection,
however it can also be used on travertine.
Shown in Apollo
Natural & Sawcut
When true authenticity is required, a natural and sawcut
stone will leave your project looking as if it came directly
from the countryside. When the pieces are cut to size,
the saw and tool marks are intentionally left on the
surface of the stone in an attempt to provide some
texture and a rustic appearance. The travertine
inclusions will be filled in with grout during installation.
Shown in Castello
Monastere™
Monastere is our signature finish, developed while trying
to replicate the natural patina we found in a 100 year old
wine shop in Tuscany. After years of development, we
perfected the chipped edge and patina finish process
that many competitors have tried to copy but have never
been able to properly reproduce.

All stones are not available in all finishes.

Cobblestone
This distressed edge and aged finish is best suited for
providing a timeless European design influence. The
stone’s edges and surfaces are distressed and softly
rounded to replicate the look and feel of Pompeii, Italy.
Shown in Pietra Vecchio
Satin
Our Satin finish is a spin-off of our signature Monastere
finish, without the chipped edges. A natural looking patina
with a softer edge appearance is perfect for an application
where an ancient authenticity is desired, but smaller and
more consistent grout joints are preferred.
Shown in Castello
Ancient
Our newest finish for a timeless appearance, the stone is
specially worked and processed to produce an exclusive
warm and worn in feel with softer edges.
Shown in Bruno Corteccia
Centurian
We created this unique blend of finishes to give the stone
the stunning appearance of a reclaimed, centuries old
floor. The stone goes through many processes to achieve
this classic finish and is limited to a few stone selections to
maintain the integrity of the look.

Travertine Collection
Travertine is limestone, which over time, through
geological shifting, found its way deep into the
Earth. As the water melted after the Ice Age
it found its way into the earth’s underground
aquifer system, which we use today for our
wells and water supplies, and was absorbed
by the limestone beds. Heated by the Earth's
inner core, the water rose as steam and hot
pressurized water to form mud baths, and
geysers such as "Old Faithful." The rising hot
water disolved the limestone and brought with it
granules from below. The mud beds then
cooled and crystallized into solid stone called
travertine. The inclusions in the stone are
created from the natural passage of the water

The inspiration behind our Catania is an old wine shop in
Catania
San Gimingano, Italy, a small medieval hillside town in
Monastere
Tuscany. When company founder Dick van Gilse found
this wine shop, he knew its floor was a winner and started
his quest to replicate the color range, texture and finish; his
goal being to instantly create a 100 year old patina floor.

Limestone
Collection
Limestone and marble start from the same basic
materials. Marble is simply changed limestone.
Limestone is the result of millions of years of sea
shells and sea creature bones settling on an
ocean floor and transforming into calcium
carbonate. Only 3% of the stone makes up
the color, with most color coming from the
other natural elements that combine with the
stone when the stone is formed (i.e. iron
deposits which can give a reddish brown color).
Given enough heat and pressure, limestone
crystallizes and becomes marble. The
crystallization allows the stone to take a polish
during finishing, which brings out the rich colors
we associate with marble. Limestone which is
not crystallized will not accept a polish and
therefore is only available in a natural or

Our exclusive Modellata Planking replicates this real-wood and stone installation without the complicated maintenance associated with the combination of these
two materials and requires only a tile contractor to install.
Due to the exclusive
and valuable nature of
Modellata Planking,
it is only available for
purchase with our
flooring materials.
A Facings Exclusive!
An application integrating stone and wood has always been
desired by many of our clients, and yet usually discouraged by
the industry because of the incompatibility of the two materials
in terms of both maintenance and installation.
Facings spent years developing a solution to this
challenge, and its name is Modellata Planking. We
personally selected several genuine 100-year-old wood
planking pieces. Then we replicated and produced them
in a water friendly resin. The finished product is an
authentic looking stone/wood combination that we have
created specifically for you, our client.

Architectural Feature™ Stone Finish Options
Natural & Lightly Sandblasted
This rustic finish leaves behind saw and tool marks with
the harsher accents being smoothed through a traditional
sandblasting process.
Shown in Albastrino
Unfilled & Brushed
The small holes and inclusions are left unfilled and a special
hand worked process softens the look by replicating a
time-worn patina and removing most of the saw and tool
marks leaving behind a slight sheen to the feature.
Shown in Pietra di Bourgogne
Sandblasted with the recesses bush-hammered
The finish leaves behind saw and tool marks with the
harsher accents being smoothed through a traditional
sandblasting process. The recesses are then specially
treated through a bush-hammering process that helps to
create contrast between the Architectural Feature’s
surface and its recessed carvings.
Shown in Albastrino
Filled & Honed
A filled and honed process will fill most of the inclusions with
a similar-in-color epoxy filler. The stone is then treated with
special abrasives to bring the stone to a honed finish.
Please note that stone recesses or carvings are usually not
filled or honed to help create contrast between the stone
surface and the carving details.
Shown in Pietra Vecchio
All stones are not available in all finishes.

Cement-filled & Brushed
The travertine inclusions are filled with a cementatious
filling. While wet, the stone and fill are brushed providing an
exclusive and unique finish to your Architectural Features.
The softer areas of the stone and the fill are worn in.
Shown in Castello
Bush-hammered, Sandblasted & Acid-washed
This genuine finish creates an antiquated look making it appear
as if it were reclaimed from a centuries old mansion. Our special
stone processing and color enhancements create realistic details
that normally take years to produce.
Shown in Feroce
Sawcut, Lightly Sandblasted & Acid-washed
This rustic finish leaves behind saw and tool marks with the
harsher accents being smoothed through a traditional

bring life to the stone by showing more of the natural and
dynamic movement characteristics of the stone.
Shown in Giallo Reale Marble (subject to availability)
Polished
This finish is for those projects requiring the highest
level of refinement and polish. The stone is carefully
filled with a similar color epoxy resin and the stone
polished to a high luster.
