Technique

The old technique used to create azulejo tiles has remained largely unchanged for centuries and is still done entirely by hand. The technique used to produce azulejo tiles is generally known as "glazing". The glazing process consists of painting the design on a white clay tile, firing the tile at high temperatures so that the paint becomes a vitreous enamel. This process results in a tile that is durable, waterproof and easy to clean, making it a stunning piece of art that can be enjoyed for years to come. What makes azulejo tiles so unique is their vibrant colours and intricate designs. Each tile is individually painted with great care and precision, resulting in a beautiful and eye-catching mosaic. It's a timeless piece of art that stood up against all kinds of weather, that's why it's perfect for both indoors and outdoors decoration.
