SPAIN’S TILE INDUSTRY UNVEILS ITS COLLECTIONS FOR 2013

RECLAIMED WOOD
Spanish tile makers have once again pushed the envelope on wood looks evolving the trend into reclaimed wood territory. Tile provides nature’s weather worn appearance with the durability to keep it that way indefinitely. Bright colors and graffiti styles also have been integrated.

Products by Tau, Apavisa, Roca, Porcelanosa, Cerámicas Aparici, Cerámicas Gómez, Natucer Porcelanite and Peronda.

PRECIOUS METALS
Gold, silver and copper are weaving their way into tile design in a more sophisticated tone and with impressive technologies for mirrored effects and on-the-floor durability.

Products by  LaPlatera, Cerámicas L'Alcalaten, Cerámicas Aparici,  Azulejos Plaza, Keraben,  Apavisa, and Ceracasa.

MIX, MATCH AND PERSONALISE   

Manufacturers mix patterns and finishes to achieve unique, personalised looks tailor-made for each project or client. Spain continues to impress with its unsurpassed technology and its tiles used as large-format worktops, for facades and wall tiles, some decorated with digital photography.

Products by  Colorker, Cerámicas Aparici,   LaPlatera, Tres Estilos and Fabresa 

3D DESIGNS

The trend for 3D effects is evolving, resulting in smaller – yet equally effective and efficient – designs. These make rooms and spaces seem much bigger and taller.

Products by Porcelanosa, Alcalagres, Cerámicas Aparici, Natucer, Cerámica Vilar Albaro, Ballesport y Azulev 

ESSENTIAL VINTAGE PATTERNS

The most traditional designs lend themselves brilliantly to customisation. And Spain's ceramics are pushing the boundaries in this area – chiefly by transforming its traditional ceramics with inkjet printing and updating its most trad designs with much more contemporary grey, black and pastel shades.

Products by  Vives, Magna, Cerámicas Aparici, Brancós, Halcón Cerámicas, Peronda, Realonda and Cerámica Cas.
