TEXTURES AND COLOURS
TEXTURES
Ruler smoothed texture
Texture has a surface smoothed by a wood ruler, after the clay has filled the wood mold. The result is a relatively smooth and flat surface with some very fine lines created by the wood ruler, as it picks up the excess clay from the molded clay surface. The clay mixture used for this texture is very fine, as it has been naturally filtered, creating a very smooth texture and a quite leveled surface. Edges are flat and uneven, with some chips and imperfections. It is recommended for applications where a more "refined-contemporary" look and a flat-smoother surface are desired.
Glamour Vintage
Texture has a surface that combines smooth and rough areas. The surface is slightly uneven and undulated, creating some movement between the rough and the smooth areas. The rough areas have a lot of small pinholes and swirls that give it a unique personality. Edges and corners are slightly rounded and uneven, with some chips and imperfections. It is recommended for applications where a more "old world" look is desired, as well as a higher slip resistant surface.
COLOURS
Tiles with both textures are available in 2 types of colour. Every colour is displayed over ruler smoothed texture.
Translucent colours (14 shades)
Opaque colours (16 shades)
Translucent colours are reached by a thin layer of opaque colour, so the actual colour and texture of the tile is enhanced. Therefore every tile is slightly different and unique. In case a more consistent look is needed, it is recomended to work with opaque colours - thick colourful layer delivers darker and unified shade.
