Hydraulic tiles are one of the most iconic elements of Mediterranean architecture. Handcrafted using natural pigments, cement and a hydraulic press, these pieces have been used for over a century to create unique decorative flooring.
Unlike industrial materials, each hydraulic mosaic is produced piece by piece, allowing for intense colours, complex designs and an authentic aesthetic that is impossible to replicate with other materials.
Today, hydraulic floors are once again playing a leading role in contemporary interior design projects thanks to their handcrafted character and the possibility of creating customised compositions.
The hydraulic tile is a piece of pigmented cement manufactured by hydraulic pressure, without firing. This technique appeared in Europe in the mid-19th century and quickly became one of the most widely used decorative floor tiles in homes, modernist buildings and public spaces.
Each tile is made using metal moulds that allow the creation of geometric, floral or contemporary designs. The result is a hydraulic mosaic with a great chromatic richness and exceptional resistance.
Hydraulic mosaic has a strong presence in Mediterranean cities such as Barcelona, Valencia and Marseille. During the modernist movement, architects and designers used these tiles to create decorative pavements that today form part of the architectural heritage.
One of the most well-known examples is the pavement designed by Antoni Gaudí, which can still be seen in some areas of Barcelona.
Hydraulic tiles can be used on both floors and walls, adding personality to any space. They are especially popular in kitchens, toilets, restaurants and interior design projects. Now especially, products with a vintage feel, such as hydraulic tiles, are gaining interest in modern architectural works with the main objective of adding character and breaking away from the massively extended traditional design. Thanks to the variety of designs and colours available, it is possible to create unique compositions to adapt the hydraulic floors to the rooms they accompany.
One of the great advantages of handmade hydraulic mosaic is the possibility of personalisation. At Mosaics Torra Each piece is handcrafted, allowing us to adapt colours, patterns and compositions for residential or commercial projects.
Each hydraulic floor thus becomes a unique piece designed specifically for the space where it will be installed.
