Sigaro Ivory Ceramic Tile starts off our run-down of vein-cut looks from MSI. This light coffee and cream colored tile has the tell-tale linear patterning of vein-cut stone, which creates a gentle flow and movement across a space as seen in this image.

Sigaro Ivory's elegant design and neutral palette work well with many different decor styles, and because it's ceramic tile it complements just about every budget too!

Sigaro Dunes Ceramic Tile has the same gentle undulating pattern and look as Sigaro Ivory Ceramic Tile, but in shades of warm sand and beige. Offered in a 12x24 rectangular tile, this vein-cut stone look-alike is a great option for tile flooring or walls not only for it's depth and movement, but also because of it's durability.

If you've been wanting a unique look, but shudder at the thought of putting expensive natural stone on the floor, look no further; vein-cut look-alike ceramic tile resists cracking and scratching, and is able to withstand daily wear and tear.

Aliso Bone Ceramic Tile comes in the same warm beige tones as Sigaro Dunes Ceramic Tile, but with a mottled, cloud-like pattern mixed in with the classic linear look of vein-cut stone. As you can see from this room scene, the blended patterning really focuses your attention on the individual tile rather than drawing your eye out across a strictly linear pattern.

Aliso Gris Ceramic Tile has the same look and visual texture of Aliso Bone Ceramic Tile but in soft grey and beige. This authentic replication of natural stone has a graceful feel, yet is tough enough for use in residential and commercial settings. Unlike natural stone, ceramic tile is moisture-resistant, making it the perfect material for wet locations like the bathroom shown here.
