Chrome or colored faucet?
The tap is a necessary product in our day to day. We all know about their functionality and our dependence on them in our life. But it is also a product that has increased its decorative value and that are important in the decoration of the bathroom or kitchen. The variety of models that we find in the faucet catalogs, with different styles and designs, finishes, measurements, etc. But now the taps stand out the most is their color, and this is what we are going to discuss in this post. Although we do not have concrete statistics, the experience in our tile store and in our online bathroom store does not say that at least 25% of purchases already correspond to colored taps. The faucet factories have completed their collections with black taps and white taps. This is the case, for example, of Imex, a national manufacturer that is very competitive in terms of the number of designs, its quality, but also its price. An example of colored taps from Imex is the Denmark collection, which offers a variety of bathroom models, shower sets and tall taps, all in chrome, black and white. But apart from the important value that colored taps have in terms of bathroom and kitchen decoration, they also have some negative aspect. On the one hand, the paint bath is more delicate than the chrome bath of the traditional models, and the paint can chip or chip if it receives a strong blow. In addition, black taps, like any dark-colored accessory, have the handicap of water lime in many cities. Finally another aspect to take into account is that the factories do not guarantee that the tones are exactly the same between different taps. This means that if we buy a complete set of white taps it is possible that there is a small difference between them. We believe that these are characteristics that the consumer should know and value before deciding to buy a colored or chrome faucet.
How to decorate with tiles?
Gone are the beginnings of ceramics where there were so few options of choice that decoration in homes limited us. Half a century ago the main reason why we bought tiles for the house was mainly to protect it, for example from humidity. Ceramic has been and is synonymous with resistance and a guarantee of quality and durability. Progressively added value was added to the sector due to the variety of possibilities that the factories were offering us; different formats and designs to decorate the home to suit you. Today the catalog of options seems infinite. It could not be said that it has peaked but the range of possibilities is so wide that it seems difficult to imagine that there are still designs and textures to be imitated. Tile and flooring catalogs are full of patterns and styles. Our online catalog is an example of this and with it you can start dreaming about the sensations that you want your home to make you feel. Ceramic is one of the main decoration elements of a home, it is the basis of our home and we must be clear about the style that we want to predominate because it will be the one that will do so for years. From minimalist decorations made up of cement-style porcelain tiles in light colors or combined with porcelain tiles that imitate wood, to rustic environments. One of the star decorations of recent years is the vintage style. The tiles have been able to fit very well in this style with the design of hexagonal tiles, pavements that imitate terrazzo and especially with the hydraulic style floors. On the other hand, on walls, we highlight the large-format tiles that emulate natural elements, such as stone or wood. These models usually combine bases with reliefs that will decorate specific areas such as the shower. The 8212 White Relieve tile by Porcelanite is a clear example of the natural decoration style that you can find at Azulejos Solá. In addition, subway-style tiles, small-format tiles with or without bevels that are used especially in the decoration of rustic kitchens and bathrooms, are also a highly demanded alternative. Finally, we have just added Bussoga's range of handcrafted tiles to our catalog, an architecture studio that goes further and offers a striking and cheerful decoration. They are handpicked tiles with fun drawings and colors that you will find in the Author Ceramics catalog.

Vintage decor is still booming
For a few years now, vintage products have been setting a decorating trend. We constantly see rooms decorated with this style in magazines and decoration stores. This dynamic, far from disappearing, continues to grow. Possibly this trend was based mainly on the remodeling of old objects in order to use them and save money. Later it was the brands that took over this term to make new products with an old look. This would really misrepresent the initial meaning. The first sectors to adapt these new models to their production chain would be the textile fashion and the decoration sector. Within the decoration market, they were surely the manufacturers of home furniture, lamps and other minor elements of decoration. The tile sector also echoed this trend and all tile factories made room in their catalogs. Today vintage tiles and porcelain fill all exhibitions. In our ecommcece you can see a catalog intended only for vintage design porcelain. Other catalog that we could put in the same bag is that of hydraulic porcelain. These soils mimic the a
Apavisa revolutionizes the sector with its novelties
Apavisa has turned its catalog upside down with the novelties presented in 2021. Apavisa together with Aparici form the Aparici Group, a leading company in the world associated with design and quality. His models have been used in projects around the world. Apavisa ceramics, however, were not accessible to all users due to their high price. Historically, the Spanish tile brand has focused on manufacturing tiles of exquisite technical quality to be able to enter the most innovative projects. However this year it has presented in its stores a catalog of products that combines design and quality with a market price. Among its porcelain we find multiple designs such as imitations of terrazzo, oxides and metals. All of them available in different sizes to choose and combine in the same environment. In addition, the Aparici models play with a wide range of colors, something that had been lost among most manufacturers, who in recent years were almost exclusively dedicated to the production of gray porcelain or wood imitations. The most striking colors in their collections are green, blue or pink. Although in this post we will show you some collections, we invite you to see the Apavisa catalog, available in our online store. We advise you to discover Apavisa's main collections, a brand that now fits in all homes and that will provide an important differential in terms of decoration and quality.
Is it safe to buy tiles online?
Actually the question would be, what can not be bought online? Online commerce has grown so rapidly that it was unthinkable just a few years ago and there are still people who may have doubts when it comes to buying. Without a doubt, this growth has increased exponentially in the last year due to the health crisis caused by Covid-19. Today there are already many keys that tell us if a website is secure or not. On the one hand, the same image of the web can give us one feeling or another, but also the comments of clients or quality certificates from reliable companies. Also having the possibility to choose between several payment methods from recognized companies such as Paypal tells us if the company should convey confidence to us when buying online. Finally, it is always advisable to call the store to ask as many questions as we have. The sale of tiles online is not yet widespread because it has an additional difficulty to other products. The volume and weight of the tiles is high, making them difficult to handle and more expensive to transport. This handicap means that large corporations such as Amazon have not yet taken the step of selling tiles online.

It is a highly resistant product that, together with a good placement, will guarantee its durability over time. On the other hand the decorative part. Innovation in R&D by corporate companies has made it an almost decisive product for home decoration. We encourage you to know the catalog of tiles that we propose in our online store, the variety of models is immense and can help us to mentally reproduce our home project.
