Pittsburgh's new Civic Arena features Natco Vitritile in much of the interior wall area. Mitchell & Ritchey of Pittsburgh were the architects. The general contractor was the Dick Corporation.
There's also beauty under the dome
...red upholstered seats and yellow and cream-speckled walls of Natco Vitritile.
Even though Pittsburgh's new Civic Arena is best known for its shiny, retractable dome, much of its attractiveness is in the simple beauty of the interior.
In the main concourses, yellow Natco Vitritile contrasts warmly with the softened shade of cream-speckled Vitritile in the corridors and approaches to the concourses.
In the rest rooms, concession areas, shower rooms, and entrance passages, Vitritile provides both appealing good looks and easy maintenance.
Vitritile-genuine ceramic glazed structural clay facing tile is completely fireproof and impervious to moisture, marks and scuffs. It resists dust and is easily cleaned with soap and water. Vitritile is also vermin and vandal proof and it remains permanently new in appearance.
For complete information on the wide variety of attractive colors, shapes, specifications and uses of Natco Vitritile, write for catalog S-63.
