HYDRAULIC MOSAIC IMITATION TILES FOR YOUR DECORATION

Designs of the past are fashionable again. These are designs that were more or less used on middle 70s but that have given way to more practical manufacturing and more modern and functional materials.

Hydraulic mosaics were made with pigmented cement, which was placed in steel moulds to shape them. Thanks to these moulds, these designs, that still today can be seen in old houses, are created. Nowadays, those designs have been recovered, and although these mosaics are still manufactured, ceramic tiles that imitate this way to decorate can be used.

Ceramic tiles that imitate the hydraulic mosaic retrieve this type of decoration

New materials, such as sandstone, are able to retrieve the hydraulic mosaic decoration style to help us recreate vintage styles.

Thanks to these new materials, new ways of manufacturing and even though many designs are kept, their quality has improved. Those new tiles have more vivid and natural colours and have, moreover, a netter and nicer drawing than original ones.

These ceramic tiles, that imitate hydraulic mosaic, are more resistant than the original ones and may be laid as well indoor and outdoor. In addition, the incorporation of new technologies such as digital printing allows us to get a more defined design and brighter colours.

Amazingly, it may be noted that, thanks to digital printing, you can add "abraded" areas that offer a former look to the new tiles, which will help us to give a much more authentic vintage overview.

In the Ondacer catalogue you can find different models of this kind of tiles, ideal to create a unique ambience that reminds us at home the time passed.
