Unleash your inner animal or just get stoned with Cifre
One of the best and most innovative tile manufacturers I saw at Cevisama in Valencia and Coverings in Las Vegas was the Spanish company Cifre . Cifre is one of the member manufacturers of ASCER , the Spanish Ceramics Manufacturers Association that's branded in North America as Tile of Spain . ASCER and Tile of Spain is who paid my way to Cevisama, in the interest of full-disclosure.
With that out of the manner, it's awesome to peer a Spanish producer come to the market with a swagger and savvy that heretofore belonged to the Italians solely. Those days have surpassed and the wonderful innovations nowadays are coming out of Spain.
The huge information in North America is the significant upgrades in porcelain tile that looks like wood planks and Cifre does a super task with them as shown right here of their Bergen series.
Porcelain tile absorbs almost no water and it could be used out of doors as such things as pool and patio decking, even in temperate climates. Imagine a deck that by no means fades, never a long time, lasts for forty years and looks as right then because it did when it become hooked up.
The other big break through that's showing up on this side of the Atlantic is ceramic and porcelain tile that mimics the appearance of stone. Cifre handles that trend beautifully too. I left these images as better-resolution photos. Ignore the slow loads this morning and click on these photos to see them in better detail.
Again, believe a slate or travertine lavatory that never needs to be sealed and cannot stain.
But wherein Cifre breaks into new ground is their development of ceramic and porcelain tile that looks as if cover. Yes, cover. Whether it's cowskin, pony, zebra, tiger or what have you ever, those tiles have the grain, texture and shade of actual disguise. Again, click on the snap shots to see them in more detail.
Amazing stuff, all of it. Tile desires to pop out of the rest room and out of the kitchen and into the rest of your own home. This conceal collection that Cifre calls Cavallino is leading the way. Some of these styles could provide a whole new which means to the time period "pony wall."
Remember what I became pronouncing about sophisticated advertising and marketing? Check out their video for his or her Cautive collection.

Three cheers for Cifre . Look for their products anywhere Spanish Tile is sold.
