As time goes by, floor tiles start to show a corrugated, lacklustre appearance, which can lessen the value of the house. At Pulidos Barcino, we have developed a mechanized polishing technique using abrasives to revitalize the original colours and warm tones of mosaic floors.

Their originality of design and natural durability has helped maintain both hydraulic and Nolla tiles as an architectural reference to the Mediterranean culture.

In our workshop, we have the official catalogues of original tile makers, dating from the beginning of the 20th century. Some of these artisans are already in their third generation of producing tiles, and we collaborate with them closely.

Original catalogs by manufacturer Miguel Nolla - year 1856

Also available for research purposes a thesis from Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña and another one from Diputación de Barcelona, both relating to the subject of mosaic.
