MS International
Based right next door in Orange, California, MS International was founded in 1975 and is the largest supplier of natural stone in the United States – and for a good a reason. Sure, they’re cute and have really great hair, but they have also stood by their commitment to the highest quality classics – stony or otherwise. They have porcelain made to look like moon rock in the Antares series, the Redwood wood look series, and ceramic series like Tuscan and Sonoma that are both Italian-inspired and yet shockingly affordable. MS International understood that natural stone isn’t always the answer, so they created stone and wood look porcelain tile, and thanks to them, gorgeous floors are accessible to anyone on any budget.
Today, as we are more and more aware of the harmful chemicals that are the obvious cause of our bedhead and perpetual tardiness, we are reminded that with MS International we never need to worry about exposure to these chemicals in our home or causing them to be released into the environment during production or disposal. So these are feel-good floors. And trust us, series like Woodstone and Onyx feel exceptional underfoot.
With more than seven billion people crowding onto our planet it is becoming harder and harder to stand out as unique. How many times have you showed up to a party, seen your outfit on someone else, and been forced to wear a tablecloth as a part of your ensemble for the evening? No? Just us? MSI series are a constant reminder that we are unique – just like everyone else. Each of their natural stone, porcelain and ceramic series is unique in composition, color and texture. So it is in fact possible to be the proud owner of one-of-a-kind spaces after all, thanks to MSI’s impeccable taste. Just peek at Pacifico porcelain or Paradiso granite to be blown away.
And once you’ve covered your floors, but are still hungry for more, rest easy knowing that MSI has branched out into wall tiles, like both the Pietra and Navona porcelain series, for obsessive fans like us. MSI isn’t much into one night stands; they’re known for long-term love affairs and you, my friend, are about to get the socks charmed right off of you. You can thank us later.
