The increased availability of product and service information through mobile technology allows Custom ® to effectively and efficiently accommodate the needs of tile installers, contractors, specifiers, architects, designers, distributors, retailers, homeowners and other customers.

In addition, educational videos, project case studies, coverage calculators and other useful tools are easily accessible through these Custom mobile resources."
