CRAFTSMANY PROCESS

1st Extraction of clays in our quarries.

It is carried out within walking distance of the workshop, performing the extraction in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way.

2o Preparation of clay.

The clay is mixed with water and removed until the desired consistency is achieved, passing through an unwanted process of purifying elements, and letting the mixture rest for several days until it reaches the desired degree of molding.

3rd Elaboration of the pieces.

Once the optimum point of the clay is achieved, it is extended, removed and washed within the different molds used for each of the pieces.

4th Drying the pieces

A few days later, while the mud is a little harder, he washes his face again, after settlement of the piece, and is left to dry outdoors under very specific circumstances of temperature, aeration and without direct sunlight.

5th Baking

Once the piece is dried, the songs are cleaned and placed in the traditional oven where it reaches temperatures of up to 1000oC.

6th Parts Storage

Cooked the pieces, they are sorted one by one for palletizing, removing the defective parts.

7th Post-installation treatment

The final result of our product can be enriched with a subsequent treatment recommended by the company, enhancing the different shades of the clay and isolating it from possible and undesirable stains. This treatment is optional and only applies to interiors. The application of this primer should be done with the floor completely dry, between 60-90 days after installation.
