Below is a template for you to use in preparing a final, quarry tile specification incorpo- rating products manufactured by Metropolitan Ceramics, by Ironrock Capital, Inc. Quarry tile products are marketed under the names SOMERSETTM, QUARRYBASICS®, and METRO TREAD®. This section includes installation materials not manufactured by Metropolitan Ceramics using the reference standard method of specifying. Metropolitan Ceramics unglazed tile meets both the ASTM standards, the ANSI A 137.1 specification for quarry tile, and Metropolitan internal requirements as listed.

Metropolitan Ceramics® quarry tile can be installed and sealed with inert products, providing air quality advantages during installation. The low absorption, kiln-fired, natural materials that make up Metropolitan® quarry tile produce no off gassing sometimes associated with other 'soft' flooring products. Metropolitan Ceramics® quarry tile is neither an 'original source' nor a source for 'absorbed' volatile organic compounds. Metropolitan® quarry tile will not contribute to the growth of mold and bacteria.
