Biberschwanzziegel Biber

Multi coloured engobes

Multi coloured tiles are your first choice for individual roof projects and selected historic preservation projects. During the manufacturing process natural pigments will be applied on the tile with the help of pulsating jets and fired afterwards. Every tile will be a unicum and will only unfold its special effect as a multi coloured tile through the interaction with other tiles on the roof.

Special series

Benefits of the steaming process are obvious: As a result of the throughout-dyed tiles elaborate roofs do not need to be reowrked with a lot of blend. Steamed produucts are very much appreciated with historic preservation projects. While straming a second fire process is performed, in completely eliminating the oxygen supply. The iron oxide that is part of the oxygen will be deprived, and the fired piece receives its typical shade in three different colours.
