A fascinating anecdote: the brand has been asked by designers to bring their creations to life in the form of cement tiles !
Among the most popular tiles are Zellige tiles in neutral tones, Terrazzo tiles adorned with colorful splashes (WILD) and classic cement tiles with a unique character.

"We've been working on developing our product range for some time, but we can't yet reveal which product it is. Stay tuned !".
The manufacturing process for different types of tile
For Zellige tilestiles, Mosaic Factory calls on Mâalems, specialized craftsmen who shape them by hand using clear clay and water. After firing in the sun, the tiles are glazed in a wide range of colors and then cut.

The customized cement tiles are manufactured in a wide variety of techniques, colors and patterns. These beautifully patterned tiles are made from marble powder, cement, pigments and water. After being poured into a mold, they are pressed, left to dry and harden.

"The strangest (but awesome) order we've had was a design request for a wine tasting cellar !".
The design experts follow a simple process: starting with the customer's initial idea, and after receiving a simple sketch, the specialists submit a plan. Once approved, production begins.
Mosaic Factory's valuable advice on choosing tiles for your interior
When choosing tiles for your space, it is crucial to consider several parameters :
+ Your lifestyle : the choice differs if you're looking for a surface that's easy to maintain, or if you prefer something unique and organic that will take on a patina over time.
"It's essential to have seen and touched as many materials as possible".

+ Tile thickness : thin tiles are more suitable for walls, to minimize the load, while thicker tiles are recommended for floors, as they are more resistant to foot traffic.
+ Tile size : larger tiles can create a sense of space and continuity in large areas, while smaller tiles can add visual interest in smaller spaces.
+ When it comes to color, it all depends on the aesthetics of your interior. This year's trends emphasize light, earthy tones. To create a harmonious transition between different types of tile in open spaces, follow the finish of the tile and choose hues that complement each other.
" Wood is an excellent material to combine with our tiles, as maintenance and cleaning are very similar. It provides the same feel as our natural products that we offer."
+ Mosaic Factory tiles, a guarantee of quality, will evolve over time, taking on a patina that makes them timeless.
"Natural materials like cement, Terrazzo and other handcrafted products have this ability to evolve over time, creating a timeless, authentic atmosphere in your space."
