Technical Information

Description of Our Production Process

  • The medium for our products is composed of classic clays carefully selected to provide solid mechanical performance and a satisfactory geometry of forms.
  • The preparation of the medium is via the traditional seca method and our presses provide the forms.  
  • The first drying takes place in a tunnel kiln on slow cycle.
  • Next, the glaze and coloring is selected.
  • The glazing is manually applied to the tile and other ceramic pieces.
  • Then the pieces are manually decorated.
  • The second drying takes place in an electric kiln on slow cycle.
  • The final termination and quality is visually controlled.
  • The final glazed surface of the tile will have elevated content and is especially useful for covering walls, whether interior or exterior.


Placement of the Tile

  • The tile can be placed with both concrete thinsets and synthetic adhesives.  
  • The geometry of the tile and design demands determines whether the tile is placed with or without gaps.


Resistance to Abrasion and Scratches

  • The final capability to resist abrasion and scratches is the result of tests and practical experience gained over years of manufacturing and installing tiles in distinct physical and weather conditions.
  • We do not advise that our tile be used in areas susceptible to freezing temperatures.
  • Our tile is specifically designed for use on walls.  If our tile is used for flooring it should be in areas classified as “light traffic”, such as bedrooms, bathrooms, porches, and patios.

Cracks in the Glazes

    The phenomenon of cracks in the tile glazes is traditionally inherent in the types of glazes that we use which we count on to provide a unique and particularly deep finish to our tile.

The cracking of the glazes does not affect the durability of the finish as we can prove through viewing tile installed in the XII and XIII centuries by the Arabs and also tile installed during the XVI century by the Italian School of Niculoso Pisano at the Alambra de Granada and the Alcázar de Sevilla, among other works.
