Wall tile BRIQUE - MODENA series - 13 x 6.5 - Colour jasmine
Cream-coloured tiles for the vintage bathroom
Retro flair with tiles in the pastel colour jasmine
Give your bathroom a subtle retro flair with these cream-coloured wall tiles in a small half-size format. These small tiles in the slightly darker cream colour jasmine have light colour variations that give the tiled wall a lively appearance.
Glaze gradients and irregular edges
The glaze gradients on the slightly uneven surface of the tiles are subtle yet noticeable. The slightly irregular edges of the tiles create a pleasantly dynamic joint pattern that gives your bathroom a special touch.
Ideal for the shower area
Thanks to the opaque glaze, these tiles can also be used in the shower area without any problems. The high quality of the glaze protects the tiles from moisture and makes them durable and easy to clean.
Half-format and half-bond laying
Half-format tiles are usually laid with a staggered joint, a laying method also known as half-bond or half-offset. The tiles in the next row are offset by half of the previous row. This laying pattern creates a harmonious overall look that gives your bathroom a special charm.

Specific product information
-
The tiles have slight irregularities in shape and colour, which makes them particularly attractive. The darker colours in particular have an intense play of colours and clear colour gradients.
The colour glazes Ivory (07), Fern (08) and Magnolia (10) have a fine craquelé structure, i.e. the tiles have fine glaze cracks, which create a special depth effect. However, craquelé tiles can absorb water over time due to the fine hairline cracks. To avoid possible staining, it is recommended that these tiles are impregnated when they are laid.
Mounting and care
-
Laying
When laying the tiles, we recommend using an elastic adhesive of class C2T in accordance with EN12004. The joints should be at least 2 mm wide. Use a high-quality ready-mixed mortar for grouting. We recommend choosing a grout colour that is as neutral as possible. In the case of highly pigmented grouts, pigments may be absorbed into the craquelure on tiles with a craquelure structure. The effect should be tested on a test tile before grouting. The tiles should be impregnated before grouting in order to prevent absorption. For a good end result, we recommend also impregnating the joints.For more detailed information on adhesive and grout, please refer to the instructions of the respective manufacturer. As tiles from different manufacturing processes (dry pressing, wet pressing and extrusion) are usually laid in a bond during installation, we recommend having the installation carried out by qualified specialists in order to professionally compensate for the typical differences in calibre of non-industrial tile production during installation.
Laying instructions for tiles
When laying the unicoloured tiles, ensure a random cross-mix to achieve a lively and balanced appearance. To do this, remove the tiles alternately from all boxes when laying.Borders and ornamental strips in a tile panel should be laid with staggered joints so that the joint pattern is interrupted and the surface is divided horizontally. This allows ornaments, colours and glaze effects to really come into their own.
All installation work must be carried out by a tiler who is familiar with the specific material properties. We accept no liability for improper workmanship.
Impregnation
Impregnation is only necessary for tiles with a crackle glaze. It is recommended that these are impregnated before grouting, e.g. with FILA MP90.To do this, the tiles must be cleaned of dirt, grease and other impurities so that the impregnation can penetrate unhindered. Make sure that the tiles are completely dry before impregnation. Use a small, wide container for the impregnating agent. Make sure that the roller or brush is saturated with the impregnating agent. Apply the impregnating agent evenly to the surface of the tiles. It is important to apply the impregnation from top to bottom to prevent dripping. When working in this way, it is also easy to determine whether you have treated the entire surface or not. If necessary, it is easy to touch up. The application time is 10 minutes. Use an absorbent cloth to remove any excess residue from the tiles. Make sure that no residue remains!
