Antigua
Handicraft Facings

With more than 37 years of experience in the artistic ceramic tile business, in this catalog, Antigua has revisited the beauty of the antique universe of tiles and also sought for inspiration to innovate and adapt to the modern ceramic design.

This catalog is divided in 6 chapters: "Classics", "Contemporary", "Colors & Shapes", "Floor Tiles", "Pool & Facade" and "Special Orders".

In "Classics", all best-seller decorative collections are presented to increment value in any high-end project.

On the other hand, under "Contemporary", Antigua suggests a modern and innovative design with plenty of visual and sensorial effects. Reliefs, textures, nuances and mix with other materials, such as recycled glass, resin, metals and rubbers make these series unique.

On chapter "Colors & Shapes", the company presents its vast range of more than 80 ceramic glazing colors. In addition, more than 40 different shapes are available including accessories and finishing trims to fulfill any taste or need.

Unique colors and decorative collections are a trademark of the chapter "Floor Tiles".

In the "Pools & Facades" chapter, the company has reached the project outsides. External areas now have plenty of Antigua options. With different colors, shapes and textures, the pool and facade tiles attend all physical requirements for external areas.

And finally, due to the totally hand-made process, in "Special Orders", Antigua demonstrates the capability of designing special pieces and solutions to any project requirement.

The possibilities are unlimited.

Ecotile
Ecologic Facings

Antigua´s Ecotile series was developed base on 3 principles: to offer a high-performance flooring system; to be 100% customized by the client; and to cooperate with the preservation of our surrounding environment.

The high performance Standards come from the use of the durability of the epoxy resin. With a polished surface, Ecotile offers a flooring system to high traffic areas with a great resistance to stains, chemical attacks and abrasion.

Indicated for internal areas, Ecotile has a low maintenance solution for your residential or commercial projects.

Customization can be done by choosing the design, the resin background, the glass color and the proportion of the mix. This allows infinite design creations and will make your project different and unique.

Finally, Ecotile helps the preservation of our environment! Either by the use of 75% recycled material on its composition, such as, glass from bottles, rubber from retired tires and plastic from PET bottles, or by socially promoting jobs on local recycling cooperatives.

Historic Moments

In 1973, Jens Peter Chrestesen and Rudolf Krepinsky bought a clay-brick factory and founded Ceramica Antigua.

From the locally extracted clay were mold the first terracotta tiles. Initially, the production was to attend the American demand for high quality tiles. During its first decade, the company also consolidated the Brazilian market and soon the initial retailers were up and running in Brazil.

In the 80´s, the company expended its portfolio of products. Decorative tiles, pool tiles, finishing trims, exclusive shapes, colors and textures are some of the great features that command Antigua´s legacy.
