CERAMIC AND CEMENT TILES

The handmade ceramic tiles: fire, clay, glazes, handmade techniques. These are the ancient ingredients still present in the workshops that proudly continue the tradition of the pottery of Vietri.

The ceramic tiles that we offer can be tailored in shape, thickness, and can be requested in all ranges of colours. Also, the decorative motives shown in the catalogue can be entirely personalized according to specific design ideas.
The ceramic tile body can be on artisanal or industrial support. The essential difference between the two lies in the body thickness, edges (rounded or sharp) and surface texture.

The cement tiles, are known throughout worldwide under different names (terrazzo tiles, baldosa, etc.). Cement tiles were historically created from reclaimed marble and stone grinds and bound with recycled scraps of marble and stones and cement, then coloured with natural oxides and blended with water.

The number of decorative options making cement tile edgings and carpets that enrich the plain colours, made it possible, and still does today, to obtain floors and claddings of the highest quality, which stand out among the most exquisite flooring in Italy and all over the world.

 

Ceramic tiles - The handmade support is manufactured with local clay manually molded into wooden molds, it is manually cut into pieces with a steel wire, when still raw, once worked out. It is air-dried for nearly thirty days and then fired. Subsequently, the support is dipped into a white enamel, allowed to dry, decorated by hand, and then fired again at high temperature. The beauty of this tile lies the thickness variable between  1,2 – 1,5 cm, (in the tactile varying surface texture) in the surface which is not completely flat, and the rounded irregular edges.
