Beyond the Limits of the Project: The Architectural Potential of Extruded Ceramic Tiles

"All architecture is grounded in the earth. This pliant, resilient raw material is the origin of extruded ceramic tiles-clay transformed from its natural state into an architectural solution without relinquishing any of its authenticity. Exagres' work is rooted in this natural material, carefully transforming the clay with skillful precision and guiding it on this journey rather than forcing it. Extrusion is more than just an industrial technique; it is a philosophy and a process that preserves the density,"

"Modern architecture aims for continuity rather than contrast. Extruded tiles make this possible: the same tiles can be seamlessly used both indoors and outdoors, successfully bridging transitions of any kind. In this way, both technical coherence and visual unity are ensured. Exagres' range of in-and-out solutions-made up of floor tiles, step tiles, special tiles, and other unique options-allows to create spaces with a coherent, continuous design, using the same color and texture while also meeting the distinct technical requirements of each area."

"Extrusion is more than just an industrial technique; it is a philosophy and a process that preserves the density, thickness, and memory of the clay, maintaining its intrinsic essence in the creation of high-precision building materials. This fidelity to the raw material defines Exagres, showcasing its authenticity, rigor, and expertise. Extruded tiles are exactly what their name implies: structural clay, fired for architectural purposes."

Clay functions as the foundational, pliant, and resilient raw material for extruded ceramic tiles that retain authenticity through transformation. Extrusion operates as a philosophy and process that preserves the clay's density, thickness, and memory to produce high-precision building materials. Exagres guides clay with skillful precision to create extruded tiles—structural clay fired for architectural purposes—that adapt intelligently to spaces. The same tiles can be used indoors and outdoors to bridge transitions, ensuring technical coherence and visual unity. Exagres' in-and-out range includes floor, step, and special tiles that meet distinct technical requirements while maintaining consistent color and texture. Water applications reveal high performance, reliability, visual appeal, trend-setting design, and low maintenance.
