Advantages and qualities of stoneware wall tiles. Here’s how to choose tiles for your home.
A tile is forever!
That’s how an old tagline from the late 40s more or less went, and that’s exactly how it is for Italian tiles. They are made using expert craftsmanship and relying on a strong ceramic tradition according to the sophisticated technologies of today, anticipating the trends of a contemporary lifestyle.
This is how to choose tiles for your home that will last forever.
Ceramics have an ancient history that is easy to trace. Architectural and artistic works of the past continue to inspire and influence the most contemporary products.
They are the very archetypes of our visual culture and this makes them timeless, still very much in vogue today, especially if reinterpreted to meet the new demands of contemporary life.
Ceramics can be iconic when colour, material, an unexpected detail, or what Roland Barthes called the punctum in photography, leaps out from the surfaces.
A surprising and exciting detail that makes even a small tile unique, because it is made by analysing styles, risking with materials, experimenting with new ceramic techniques to achieve what we like to call contemporary craftsmanship.
The elegance of the textures, the charm of the colours, the consistency of the material, and the tailor-made details are the magnificent covering of a resistant, hygienic and safe material, like ceramic.
Eco-friendly and sustainable because it is made with 20% pre-consumer recycled materials in compliance with the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), which assesses the environmental impact from extraction of the raw material to disposal, plastic-free and recyclable.
