That collection is also available in 20x50 named the Tagore collection.

When industrial tile production began, sellers tried their best to show the vast possibilities that fixing tiles can give.

It is for this reason that thirty years ago Vives incorporated a system that consisted of a tile within a box that was surrounded by four mirrors in order to see and imagine the continuity of the tile as if they were looking at the floor in a room. In the era of digital communication, Internet, tablets, smartphones… we have once again recreated this system with the launching of the 1900 collection.

Novabuild is a trade fair dedicated to eco-building, renovating and sustainable town planning. It took place between the 29th February and 2nd March and brought together construction and the environment. The aim is to encourage politicians to develop town planning always keeping the environment in mind ensuring that the products and the raw materials used are environmentally friendly.

This was created by the Valencia Agency for the Environment, Water Usage, Town Planning and Building and developed by AIDICO. Vives Azulejos y Gres took part presenting their products developed by sustainable materials and systems. These together with other products can be seen in the CAP, an application ideally suited to those professionals within the construction sector who want to participate in this initiative.

Once again Vives Azulejos y Gres is launching its ceramic catalogue which aims to help its clients work with its extensive range.

Moreover, the latest technology has helped us develop something that up until just a few years ago would have proved impossible. “Panoramic View” is a new application developed for the web as well as the Ipad. This application allows you to not only view but feel the tile collections in a more realistic way experiencing the sensations that the tiles give to the design of the room. This is due to the fact that you can turn 360 degrees experiencing it as if you are within the four walls.

This general catalogue boasts the entire product range including Vives latest ranges. After our efforts and the attention we have placed to detail we are sure that it will prove a success and will facilitate your day to day business.

The new Vives porcelain collection is a ceramic wood that thanks to its wide variety of colors will become the automatic choice to achieve the desired look.

Páramo is a porcelain tile with a very special structure and finish that will transform the room into a different period. The range of colors extends from beige to antracita. To complete the collection Vives has created Taiga Natural, a finish and texture that embraces the neutrality of untreated wood, free of any artificial treatment.

The dimensions available in this collection are 15x120 cm and 20x120 cm,perfect to adapt to any space and create warmth and cozy rooms. The combination of the two different formats available in the collection is one more quality of Páramo, since the two sizes can be installed together with a maximum overlapping bond of 20%. The purpose of this is to achieve areas with endless aesthetical possibilities.

Vives has created a collection that brings design and elegance together. The collection has been developed to bring together different setting designs through the same base style - Vintage.

This new Vives collection has an extraordinary essence, with its own personality that transmits a unique feeling. Today’s fashion returns us to the past, to the Victorian period, to times of delicate decoration. Vives has created four floor tile collections and one wall tile collection to honour this style, with details that you will find them below.

Barnet, 31,6x31,6cm.

Barnet. There are three floor tile collections to combine with the plane base tiles, decorative tiles and mosaics to emulate Victorian floors renowned for their elegance. This collection offers a lot of possibilities with its main colours being: white and grey, brown as a natural and leather colour, and finally a colour between Black and Terra .

Devon, 31,6x31,6 cm.

The opening of Cevisama’s Fair in Valencia yesterday was widely appreciated by its many visitors.

As usual within this fair, many companies are trying to innovate to gain the attention of the industry. Once again, Vives provides an attention to detail with a slight distinction ensuring that every visitor actively takes part feeling part of the fair.

One of the most talked about stands at the fair has been the Vives’ Slow Stand with its influence from the “healthy and relaxed” movement with its strong connections to the environmental conscience to producing and living in a sustainable manner.

Our guests have enjoyed a pleasant passage through the stand full of sensations produced by the designs and textures of its collections whilst also having a break and enjoying fresh fruit in the “agora” setting.

Vives with its new avant-garde stand has launched its new floor and wall ranges. Among these new collections, a new range of wall tiles with a white biscuit has been produced in 33.3x100 cm, named Durga, Nalón, Glen, Satinados and Blanco Brillo. The Vintage collection is also introduced, which boasts a fusion of styles, formats, textures and finishes that live up to its name. Finally, there are new floor tile collections that replicate both wood and stone called Paramo available in 15x120 and 20x120cm and Narpes in 45x90 and 46x60cm.

Vives wishes you have a pleasant time at the fair and hope you enjoy it as much as we did when we prepared it.

Vives launches a collection with the strength and virtudes of the natural world with a range of tiles that boast a huge amount of shapes and sizes.

Vives presents this collection that conveys the strength of natural stone to create a modern ambience. The versatility of this series is integrated by a wide variety of formats: Glen at 33.3x100cm made of white biscuit, Sindou, a 20x50cm wall tile and Narpes, porcelanic floor tile in 40x60cm and 45x90cm, all of them offering multiple solutions.

The design of the different types of stones recreate warm and cosy spaces. The matt finish of the pieces combined with quartz glass and stone mosaics, provide a gentle harmony. In addition, the wall tile has a pleasant matt texture and the floor tile with a smooth relief transmits the qualities innate to the natural world.

These three series are available in white, beige, natural, terra, anthracite and black and have the possibility to combine with a tile mosaic called Tasos, in 23x33.5cm making even more dynamic.

When talking about porcelain wood, we talk about tradition, both past and present since experiences can be reflected in this kind of material. For that reason, wood is given great importance in VIVES collections and due to the fact that it matches with different styles.

Wood has always been used by designers to create innovative settings. This material provides elegance, quality and style to areas and that is why few materials can compete with it. Porcelain tiles are able to transmit the power of wood, playing with a huge number of shades, patterns, textures, formats and these can then all be combined.

Investing in porcelain woods is always a safe bet and VIVES has developed a wide variety of collections to live up to our clients’ expectations. The Legend collection is used in both indoor and outdoor settings due to its anti-slip finish. The Avesta collection provides a classical inspiration of natural wood. In order to create the Polinesia collection, water accumulation on outdoor surfaces has been studied to provide more security and protection. The Salonga collection has a pattern whose design is suited to the most avant-garde settings thanks to its wide range of colours. The Skandia collection is based on a Scandinavian design, a worldwide reference, and consists of the following collections: Feroe, Fionia, Kinda, Orsa and Arhus. The Kinda Collection looks like an industrial parquet and can be easily adapted to any kind of setting. The Orsa collection is designed to offer warmth and relaxation to places thanks to its natural texture. The Urbino collection, consisting of Aralia, Erica, Luma and Letia, is a by-word for elegance and a design creating a cosy setting. To finish with, the Woodline collection is divided in three well-appreciated products by interior designers: Zebrano, Olivo and Ebano.

These products provide multiple solutions when dealing with design and finishes and was produced in different formats. Tile formats range as follows: 15x60 cm, 15x90cm, 22x90 cm, 45x90 cm, 20x120 cm, 15x120 cm, 60x60 cm, 45x45 cm, 31'6x31'6 cm. These collections can be combined in countless ways creating different interior designs.

Valencia once again will be the centre of attention for the tile industry with the International ceramic tile fair - Cevisama 2012 taking place between 7th and 10th February. Architects, interior designers, those involved in sales and manufactureres all come together during the fair viewing the latest tendencies whilst also sharing their know-how and experiences.
