Surface Art was founded in 2001 on the simple principle of providing high fashion, high quality products from all over the world to the western United States. Since then, it has grown from just two employees in a small office in Seattle, to a company that now stocks over 5,000 products in warehouses totaling more than 150,000 square feet. Owner Mike Stupfel, with over 35 years of experience in the flooring and surfaces industries, continues to travel the world in search of the highest quality products.    All products are exclusive to Surface Art and are the finest products available, with a special eye on design, texture, and color. The attention to manufacturing tolerances is superb; products must pass rigorous quality standards or they will not be sold.     Surface Art has an extensive dealer network consisting of over 600 showcase-aligned dealers in 13 western states. It is committed           to maintaining one of the largest inventories in the western US. Surface Art services through nine will call docks as well as direct to some of the largest flooring and tile retailers and wholesalers in the US.   Surface Art is commited to doing its part to reduce waste and lower energy costs, not only in its own facitilies but at those operated by its suppliers. This includes recycling all packaging, broken tiles, and even wastewater. Look for the Green Focus Certified seal; it lets you know that a product has been certified green by Surface Art's stringent standards.   For information on caring for your tile, and Surface Art warranty, and Green Focus, click here.
