The Tile
Tiles are the ultimate covering material. With the ability to create uniform and colourful surfaces, a tile surface is more durable than other coverings, with better weather resistance to rainfall, temperature differences, sun exposure, and pollution.
Furthermore, the tonalities achieved in a tile façade are incomparably richer - the glazing, with its special glare and reflections, gives buildings unique light variations. Drawings and shapes combine and dance in geometric patterns that give life to façades. These properties of tiles allow for creating strong, robust, and surprisingly beautiful surfaces.
Tile is essentially a presence, a brightness [...] a tile is not seen, but felt [...] most people do not see the tile walls, but feel them [...] which is what is truly important. Maria Keil
