Design

From idea to tile produced at scale

A beautiful surface only counts when it can be produced on the line, every day. That is why Esmaltec’s design works together with the laboratory. Every color, effect or finish proposed is designed from the start for the customer’s glazes, decoration technique and kiln.

What it includes

• Trend research and training courses for the team
• Development of colors, effects and finishes, such as gloss, satin and matt
• Decoration solutions with screen printing, grits and third firing
• Pilot tiles for approval before production

Effects made with the Esmaltec range

The effects use Esmaltec’s own products, such as screen printing pastes and media, grits and third-firing glazes. This way, what the design team creates reaches the customer’s line with guaranteed supply.

Frequently asked questions

Can the customer bring their own reference?

Does design cover both floor and wall tiles?
