Circular Glazed Tiles

Circular Glazed Tiles address key industry challenges by balancing sustainability, efficiency, and design. Traditional ceramic tile production generates excessive waste from raw material extraction and discarded tiles. Additionally, conventional glazed tiles require two kiln firings—one for the tile body and another for the glaze—consuming high energy and increasing carbon emissions. Market challenges also include aesthetics; most traditional glazed tiles look overly industrial, lacking handcrafted charm. Meanwhile, handmade tiles, though visually appealing, are often costly, have long production lead times, and are difficult to scale for large projects. Our solution merges sustainability with craftsmanship, offering a scalable, eco-friendly alternative.

loqa's Circular Glazed Tiles solve industry challenges through sustainability, efficiency, and craftsmanship. Over a year of lab testing led to a solution that repurposes construction and industrial waste, reducing landfill impact and supporting a circular economy. Our single-firing glazing technique lowers emissions and cuts energy use compared to conventional double-firing. Loqa tiles feature organic textures and nature-inspired colors, blending industrial precision with artisanal charm. While handmade tiles have their own beauty, they can be costly and time-consuming to produce. Our process ensures more affordable pricing and faster production lead times, making them scalable for large projects.

Supporting the growth of green buildings and sustainable design, loqa offers aesthetically refined alternatives that enable architects and designers to express their creativity without compromising on quality and beauty. Our versatile Circular Glazed Tiles can be applied across various design scales, from furniture and statement installations to expansive interior and exterior projects.
