The tile incorporates a photo catalytic agent (titanium dioxide) that breaks down nitrogen oxide molecules, a common pollutant from street traffic. The tile can also break down organic substances, such as dirt and algae, that are later rinsed off by rain. The concrete tile comes in four profiles: Barcelona, Villa, Saxony Slate, and Saxony Shake. monierlifetile.com
