Task Leader: VISABEIRA | Task Partners: REVIGRÉS, SANINDUSA Revigrés is part of the consortium of companies that make up the Pact for Innovation ECP - Ecocerâmica e Cristalaria de Portugal, co-financed by the Recovery and Resilience Plan. It consists of an integrative proposition for the Ceramics and Crystal works sectors across the board, which focuses on critical competitiveness success factors and aspires to improve their international positioning. With a focus on 4 central thematic areas – energy sustainability, circular economy and industrial symbiosis, digital transition and capacity building – it is committed to the development of new products, processes and services with high added value, based on new models of cross-sectoral industrial organization, thus ensuring progress in the global value chain and investment in activities with greater added value. One of the intended outputs laid down in the task of Workpackage WP5 – Digital transition of the ceramic sector, is the creation of a National BIM Content Platform for the Ceramic Industry: BIMCer. This platform will provide a public and national library of digital templates of ceramic products using standardized methodologies and BIM technology that incorporates different layers of information, namely on the carbon footprint of products. In this phase of the WP5 project, with the collaboration of TecMinho - University-Business Association for Development, of the University of Minho, Product Data Templates (PDTs) have been created for Revigrés and Sanindusa products. In line with the EN ISO standards for Product Data Templates (EN ISO 23386 and EN ISO 23387) and with the EN standards for each product, these PDTs will be the basis for the information consultation structure and search filters of the BIMCer Platform, and have already been uploaded to the PDTs.pt platform, where the data is available for consultation by the industry and for future developments. This data structure is also aligned with the needs of the single Digital Licensing Platform at national level, PEPU – Electronic Platform for Urban Procedures (where BIM will become mandatory from 2030 onwards), and also with the legislation that is being prepared for the Digital Construction Product Passport, which also provides information on the product's life cycle.

Agenda ECP - Ecocerâmica e Cristalaria de Portugal

Decorating with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.revigres.pt/en" tt-mode="url">tiles</a> is an ancient art, especially in cultures like the Portuguese where ceramic tiles have become ubiquitous for decorating palaces and small homes alike. Tiles have a rich cultural history and are actually works of art in many parts of the world. For example, the classic blue and white colour scheme, adopted in the late 17th century, was inspired by oriental porcelain, symbols of purity and serenity, and of our maritime heritage, replacing the polychromatic tiles of Moorish influences. This example illustrates the importance of colour and knowing how to mix colours. It is much more than aesthetics, and it is the topic we are discussing here by proposing 5 colour schemes and decorations that are the groundwork of space you will not forget.<h2 style="text-align: justify">5 inspiring ideas: Colour schemes and decoration</h2><h3 style="text-align: justify">1. Monochromatic scheme: Elegance and simplicity</h3>The monochromatic colour scheme consists of variations of a single colour for sophistication and harmony. This style is perfect if you prefer clean and more modern decoration.For kitchens: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.revigres.pt/en/storytiling/ceramic-tiles-for-kitchen-walls" tt-mode="url">Kitchen ceramics</a> in white or light grey is a classic example that visually enhances space and provides a neutral background that matches any colour of furniture and accessories. Combine different polished, relief or matt finishes to lend greater depth and add a special touch.For bathrooms: Shades of blue or aqua green are excellent choices. These colours convey tranquillity and freshness, perfect for a more relaxed atmosphere. Use ceramic tiles in different sizes to create interesting patterns and within the same monochromatic colour palette.<h2 style="text-align: justify">2. Complementary scheme: Colours that attract</h2>Complementary schemes use colours that sit opposite on the colour-wheel, creating vibrant and dynamic contrast. This scheme is perfect if you are looking for bold and energetic decoration.For kitchens: Match blue and orange or green and red. For example, kitchen tiles with a dark blue background and a touch of orange can transform a plain wall into an impressive eye catcher.For bathrooms: Choose purple, yellow, green or pink. These colour combinations add life and personality to space. Use the most vibrant colour for detail on a lighter background to balance the room.<h2 style="text-align: justify">3. Analogue scheme: Harmony and cohesion</h2>As the name suggests, analogue schemes complement each other by using adjacent colours on the colour-wheel, offering a smooth and harmonious transition between them. This scheme results in less austere and well-balanced environments.For kitchens: Shades of yellow and orange create a warm and cosy atmosphere. Tiles in different shades of these two colours can be laid in geometric patterns for a modern, energetic atmosphere.For bathrooms: Blue, green and turquoise are perfect for creating a relaxing atmosphere. Shades of blue and green in a mosaic pattern can transform a conventional bathroom into an oasis of tranquillity.<h2 style="text-align: justify">4. Triadic scheme: Energy in perfect balance</h2>Triadic schemes use three colours that are equidistant on the colour-wheel, creating a balanced and vibrant palette. This scheme is perfect if you are looking to add a touch of colour without burdening the space.For kitchens: Use blue, red and yellow. Kitchen tiles with a blue background, red details and hints of yellow can create a cheerful kitchen with character. Make sure the colours are well balanced to avoid a cacophony of colour.For bathrooms: Match green, orange and purple. Tiles with a geometric pattern in these colours can create an elegant environment, perfect for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.revigres.pt/en/storytiling/trends-in-modern-bathroom-tiles" tt-mode="url">modern bathrooms</a>.<h2 style="text-align: justify">5. Natural colour scheme: Inspired by nature</h2>Natural colour schemes are inspired by the shades of nature, e.g. greens, browns and beiges. This scheme is ideal for creating a peaceful and cosy atmosphere.For kitchens: Use tiles in shades of terracotta, olive green and cream. These natural colours are perfect for a rustic or country-style kitchen, adding a touch of nature to the home.For bathrooms: Shades of sand, brown and light green can turn the bathroom into a real spa inside your home. Tiles in natural colours blend in perfectly with plants and wooden accessories for a Zen atmosphere.<h2 style="text-align: justify">Portuguese tiles: Timeless charm</h2>Speaking of tile, traditional Portuguese tiles are famous for their intricate patterns; an excellent choice for adding a touch of history and culture to your home.For kitchens: Use Portuguese tiles as a backsplash or to help a wall stick out. Traditional colours such as blue and white are perfect for creating a striking eye catcher.For bathrooms: Create a Portuguese tile mural on one of the bathroom walls. This technique will add an artistic touch to your bathroom and transform it into a real work of art.Choosing the right colour scheme for your tiles can be an extremely rewarding process. Bear in mind lighting, the size of the space and the room décor when making your choice. Be bold with complementary colours, create harmony with analogous schemes or opt for the elegance of monochrome colours. Whatever your choice, tiles are an extension of our personality in space and there's room for everyone.For more inspiration and tips, visit our webpage dedicated to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.revigres.pt/en/get-inspired" tt-mode="url">Environments and Decoration</a>.

Grease buildup on <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.revigres.pt/en/collections" tt-mode="url">kitchen tiles</a> can sound like a true nightmare, but with the right materials and techniques, you can carry out a deep clean of your <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.revigres.pt/en" tt-mode="url">tiles </a>and keep them spotless. This short guide offers a number of tips and ideas to help you clean greasy kitchen tiles, rapidly turning this nightmare into a dream. Remember that some solutions can be harmful to certain types of coverings, so it's important to know which solution is right for your surface.<h2 style="text-align: justify">Recommended products</h2>For the most effective and safe cleaning, we recommend you use tile degreasers. They are specially formulated to remove grease without damaging the tile. Here are some options to consider:<h3 style="text-align: justify">Degreasers and stain removers</h3>Tile degreasers are designed to handle the tough grease in the kitchen. These products contain cleaning agents that dissolve and remove grease; they help to preserve your tiles and prevent damage. Make sure you choose the best product for the type of tile you want to clean.<h3 style="text-align: justify">Neutral detergents</h3>Neutral detergent is a good cleaning agent to choose for everyday cleaning. It removes dirt and grease without damaging the finish of the tiles. Cleaning with lukewarm water and neutral detergent will help you keep your tiles in good condition.<h3 style="text-align: justify">All-purpose products</h3>High-quality all-purpose cleaners can be used on a variety of flooring surfaces, including tiles. Use a product that is safe for ceramic tiles and follow the manufacturer's instructions for the best results.<h2 style="text-align: justify">Homemade solutions</h2><h3 style="text-align: justify">White vinegar</h3>White vinegar is one of the most effective household products for cleaning <a target="_blank" href="https://www.revigres.pt/colecoes" tt-mode="url">ceramics</a>. Mix one part white vinegar with one part warm water and spray the solution onto the tiles. Leave for about 15 minutes before scrubbing with a sponge or cloth. However, don't use vinegar on marble or natural stone surfaces, as the acidity can damage these materials.<h3 style="text-align: justify">Bicarbonate of soda</h3>Baking soda is another excellent DIY solution for cleaning tiles. Dissolve a tablespoon of baking soda in warm water into a paste. Apply the paste to the tiles and leave for 15 minutes. Scrub with a sponge or soft-bristled brush and rinse with clean water. Avoid using bicarbonate of soda on shiny tiles or surfaces as it can scratch the surface.<h2 style="text-align: justify">How to remove grease from tiles step by step</h2><h3 style="text-align: justify">Materials</h3>Before you start cleaning, gather all the necessary materials: white vinegar, baking soda, lemons, sponges, microfibre cloths, a soft-bristled brush and a spray bottle.<h3 style="text-align: justify">Apply cleaning solutions</h3>Spray a white vinegar and water solution onto the tiles to ensure even distribution. If you prefer, depending on the type of tile, use baking soda paste or lemon juice instead on tough grime.<h3 style="text-align: justify">Use techniques</h3>After applying the cleaning solutions, scrub the tiles with a sponge or soft brush. Use a circular motion to loosen the grease. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a microfibre cloth to avoid water stains.Tips to prevent grease buildup<h3 style="text-align: justify">Try to maintain a daily routine</h3>Maintaining a daily cleaning routine can prevent grease buildup.After cooking, wipe the tiles with a damp cloth and neutral detergent to remove grease stains.Use recommended products for regular cleaning.Use specific degreasing products for tile deep clean. These cleaning products are specially formulated to remove grease without damaging the tile.<h3 style="text-align: justify">Habits that help keep tiles clean</h3>Using a lid on a frying pan and reducing frying times can help reduce grease buildup on the tiles. An exhaust fan in a kitchen helps to remove airborne grease.<h2 style="text-align: justify">Common mistakes and how to avoid them</h2><h3 style="text-align: justify">Excessive use of chemical products</h3>Overuse of chemical products can damage tiles and grout. Prefer DIY cleaning solutions or recommended tile cleaning products.<h3 style="text-align: justify">Techniques that damage tiles</h3>Refrain from using a hard-bristled brush or scrubbing too hard, as this can scratch the tiles. Use soft sponges and soft brushes.<h2 style="text-align: justify">Insufficient cleaning</h2>Grease buildup can make cleaning difficult. Regularly clean surfaces to prevent stubborn dirt.<h2 style="text-align: justify">Useful tools</h2><h3 style="text-align: justify">Appropriate sponges and cloths</h3>Use soft sponges and microfibre cloths to avoid scratching the tiles. Microfibre cloths are excellent for drying and preventing water stains.<h3 style="text-align: justify">Soft fibre brushes</h3>Choose soft-bristled brushes to protect tiles and for lifting dirt from grout. Avoid hard-bristled brushes that can damage the tiles.<h3 style="text-align: justify">Steam cleaners</h3>Steam cleaners are great for deep cleaning as they use hot steam to degrease without using chemicals. However, they should be used with caution to avoid damaging mortar and certain types of heat-sensitive tiles.&nbsp;Keeping kitchen tiles clean and grease-free is essential.

Best Tips for Cleaning Greasy Kitchen Tiles – Revigrés

Revigrés' Integrated Plan for Decarbonization and Energy Efficiency was distinguished by the results obtained in criteria such as the reduction of CO2 emissions, rationalization of resources and transition to green energy, with an impact not only on the Company's activity, but also on the entire ceramic sector.According to Revigrés Management Board “It is with great pride that we receive this award. Environmental sustainability has been part of Revigrés’s DNA since its foundation and we continue to prioritize this topic through new production processes that aim to promote energy efficiency and the approach to carbon neutrality.”The distinction comes as Revigrés prepares to reinforce this positioning by completing the installation of a new production line dedicated to the launch of value-added and more sustainable products through more energy-efficient industrial equipment, in the second half of 2024.This project is part of the Illiance and Ecocerâmica Agendas - financed by the Recovery and Resilience Plan and NextGeneration EU Funds - and with an investment of 15 million euros in equity, the project envisages reinforcing the use of renewable electrical energy sources, such as solar, the incorporation of hydrogen into the production process and the creation of symbiosis for the incorporation of waste.

In this chapter, we will introduce you to the latest trends in <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.revigres.pt/en/storytiling/bathroom-decorating-tips" tt-mode="url">bathroom tiles</a> and offer some ideas and suggestions for the perfect balance between style and functionality.<h2 style="text-align: justify">Latest trends</h2><h3 style="text-align: justify">Large, minimalist tiles</h3>One of the most striking trends is the use of large, minimalist tiles. They cater for an elegant and clean look, while making cleaning and maintenance easier. Larger tiles, i.e. 120x278, mean less <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.revigres.pt/en/storytiling/how-to-build-a-tiled-shower-base" tt-mode="url">joints</a> and create a sense of continuity and enlarged space. These modern bathroom tiles lend uniformity and simplicity to small spaces.<h3 style="text-align: justify">Natural textures and effects</h3>Natural textures and effects, i.e. resembling wood, stone or marble, are also in vogue. These tiles add a touch of sophistication and warmth to your bathroom decor. They can be combined with other materials, such as metal or glass, for an interesting contrast. For example, a tile mimicking light wood can be combined with stainless steel elements or large mirrors, in a harmonious mix of natural and industrial elements.<h3 style="text-align: justify">Neutral and earthy colours</h3>Colours are also crucial for modernising the bathroom. Nowadays, the trend is the palette of neutral and earthy colours, such as grey, beige and shades of brown. These colours foster a calm and elegant atmosphere, helping other decorative elements such as furniture or plants to stand out. Tiles in neutral colours are also versatile and can easily be combined in different styles and themes.<h3 style="text-align: justify">Geometric and abstract patterns</h3><ul><li>Although neutral colours are a popular choice, geometric and abstract patterns are also gaining ground.</li><li>Tiles with bold designs, such as stripes, hexagons or asymmetrical shapes, add a touch of personality and modernity to any bathroom.</li><li>They can be used as a detail or along the entire length of a wall, creating an impressive focal point.</li><li>For an even more striking effect, mix laying patterns or vary the direction in which the tiles are laid.</li></ul><h3 style="text-align: justify">Retro and Vintage</h3><ul><li>The newest trend in bathroom remodelling has been the revival of retro and vintage styles.</li><li>Tiles inspired by design trends of the 60s, 70s and 80s are making a comeback, lending nostalgia and charm to this room. The bold geometric patterns, vibrant colours and distinctive textures of these tiles give the bathroom a unique personality.</li><li>Tiles with floral and arabesque patterns can be used to create a classic style, while bolder colours such as orange, yellow or green hark back to past decades and add a touch of colour to space.</li><li>This trend makes it possible to create an environment that reflects a harmonious mix of past and present.</li><li>Similarly, vintage ceramics can create an interesting contrast with contemporary furniture or accessories,</li></ul><h3 style="text-align: justify">Mix and Match Mixing different materials</h3>“Mix and Match", a concept of mixing different types of tiles and materials, is gaining momentum. The design involves mixing, for example, polished and matt tiles, or smooth and textured tiles to create a unique and customised bathroom. Variety not only adds depth and makes space more interesting, but also allows the owner to express their creativity through innovation.<h3 style="text-align: justify">Sustainable ceramics</h3>Sustainability is a growing concern in all areas of interior design, including of the bathroom. Tiles made from recycled materials or using low environmental impact manufacturing processes are gaining in popularity. Using sustainable materials minimises the impact on the environment, resulting in a modern, eco-friendly bathroom.<h2 style="text-align: justify">Conclusion</h2><ul><li>Trends in modern bathroom tiles reflect the growing importance of these spaces in our lives today.</li><li>From large-format, minimalist tiles to bold patterns and creative combinations, the range of choices cater for functional and elegant environments.</li><li>Whether you opt for a minimalist approach, natural textures or neutral colours, smart use of modern tiles can transform a bathroom into your temple and refuge.</li><li>For more bathroom tile options, take a look at our <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.revigres.pt/en/collections" tt-mode="url">ceramic wall and floor tile collections</a>.</li></ul>
