This year 2011 we have introduced many novelties. We have mainly completed our models by introducing decorative tiles that match each series as was needed for this years markets. That is why we would like to focus on each one of the series and introduce their improvements and highlight that many decorative tills will be sold per square meter:

Japan: the wall tiles come together with matching porcelanic pavement 33×33 for two of its models, Osaka and Kyoto, that cover the series’ chromatic necessity, thus not forcing clients to have stocks of three different models. Likewise, we have 2-tile decorative motives and cenefas that are perfect for their combination for this series and even with some others. They are three models with iridescent effects that play with the light. See the series at Flickr.

Ecléctica: we have incorporated bases, decorative motives and nets/mosaicas to the already existing wall tiles that can be combined with floor tiles such as the ones from the series: Cueros, Nymphas, Palya, etc. its consists of 5 models that present different effects depending on the incidence of light rays. See the series at Flickr.

Welcome to our team!

According to the current law and continuing our certificate policy, we are proud to inform that we welcomed the Ucranian technitians from the Seprobukdtuba official laboratory this June, in order to obtain radioactivity and quality certificates (GOST) required for custom clearance and subsequent marketing of our products in Ucrania.

After a visit to our facilities and the corresponding product analisys in the laboratory, we have been awarded a certificate valid until August 2012.

Due to an increase in ceramic-press publications where our products have been selected for their design and quality; we have thought about notifying our clients, and thus have created a new section, “Alcalatén in the press“. This way, such information will be available for any comercial use.

We start off with recent russian publications, and we would like to thank Mrs. Margarita Popova from Soda-Media for the interest she showed for our products.

The new Dacha series (33×33) reminds us of the floor used in the old Soviet Union in the entertainment centres that are still used nowadays.

This series consists of 3 different models which may look similar, but are different in conception, with a variation in the background tone and the type of wood displayed:

• Crimea
• Yalta
• Tbilisi

As allways, you can find this series technical details and photos of different sets on Flickr.

Through this renovation we keep compliying with the current regulations concerning the retail of our products in China and thus positioning our brand whithin the market thanks to our clients.

Karlovy Vary takes its name from the Check city, known worldwide for its health resorts and hot springs.

Karlovy Vary (Karlsbad in German and Carlsbad in English) has a similar meaning in Check (Charles’ hot springs) and in German (Charles’ baths or health resort). Charles is Karel in Check and its genitive is Karlovy. The word var means boiling and vary is an archaic word for hot springs. In German, Karl means Charles and its genitive is Karls, while Bad means health resort. Thus the German name: Karlsbad.

• Karlovy: its name comes from the bronze coloured, petrified roses in the hot springs. The model is very similar.
• Rusalka: one of the 12 hot springs.
• Pupp: an allusion to the Grandhotel Health resort, for it reminds us of its grandiosidad.
• Lenka: in memorial of our colaborator Lenka.
• Smetana: takes its name for the Smetana Hotel and for the souce with the same name that reminds us of the colour of the piece.

Remember, all the characteristics of our series are available in Flickr.
