Composition and production: Hydraulic tiles are composed of gray or white Portland Cement, marble powder, sand, color pigments, additives and water. These raw materials are carefully selected and mixed together, then they are introduced inside the mold of the tile that we are making and finally we will introduce it into the hydraulic press to press the tile and have the tile completely finished. Then we would move on to the setting process where they will rest for a minimum of 28 days, in order to guarantee a perfect final quality of our hydraulic mosaics.
Applicable standards: Hydraulic tile is not regulated by European standards (CE) or national standards (UPEC).
The tests carried out in the laboratory that we mention are carried out in the absence of these “standards”, so we base ourselves on the protocols for terrazzo or cement according to standard 1339:2004.
