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.

Sequency: a completed series that includes rectified and uncertified wall tiles, matching decorative tiles, both rectified and uncertified, listelos, nets/mosaics as well as matching floor tiles. it consists of 8 very commercial and atemporal models. See the series at Flickr.

Board: new spectacular wall tiles that imitate wood, we are currently working on the matching floor tiles, though the series Wood XXI can be used swell. It consists of four models that achieved an amazing success in the last few fairs. See the series at Flickr.

Karlovy: showy wall tiles with different colour effects that vary depending on the incidence of light rays. The decorative tiles can be combined with the base tiles as well as cinemas with metallic effects. As for floor tiles one can use Cueros, Palya and Proyect.

The first edition of the photography contest “Mi reforma con cerámica” has announced its winner; a jury made up of expert interior designers from the MiCasa magazine and Tile of Spain have awarde a price to Ana Nebot for her snapshot, where one can see a terrace with Alcalatén Cerámicas floor tiles on it.

She has opted for the Cedro model from the Woods XXI series, in a rectified 14.3 x 59cm format that can be used for both exteriors -as it constists of porcelain tile- and interiors.

Porcelain woods contribute to a warm atmosphere, not to mention its exceptional technical qualities, that it requires hardly any mantainace and that it has obviously got greater endurance than actual wood.

When we first started to develop our first model with these types of leaves, we noticed their great resemblance to the plants used to elaborate coffe. We investigated and found a name and a plant that match our model perfectly, it was Tanaman Kopi, the indonesian name for the coffe plant.

From there onwards, we took the coffe brought by Columbus from America and that has become popular due to the italian influence and comercial names as a base, we adjusted the colours and voilà, Ristretto, Arpeggio, Capuccino, Machiatto and Latte were born.

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.

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.
