Catalina Designs (Santa Coloma)

Porcelain Catalina Designs Tiles

• White porcelain: No other Talavera tile has undergone the laboratory tests that ours have to assure its installation ability in all climates, and for resistance to pool chemicals.
• Pool Tile
• Details slightly raised
• Colors: Applied by hand
• The glaze is the thin layer of glossy material on the body of the tile, which confers aesthetic and technical properties such as color, design, impermeability, and hardness.
• Each tile varies in color
• Size Averages:  (3 3/4 x 3 3/4), (5 3/4 x 5 3/4), (2 x 2).

Although Villa and Mission Imports, LLC maintains high standards of quality control, variation in size and color may be present from tile to tile, and shipment to shipment. There is no guarantee that tiles ordered as add-ons will match those from original orders. This is an intrinsic characteristic of all ceramic tiles, particularly handcrafted tiles.

Catalina Tile (also Malibu Tile), comes from the California revival movement of the early 20th Century. The tiles are all-weather porcelain, to allow for outdoor installations anywhere.

Catalina tile adorns the serpentine wall that snakes along Crescent Avenue, the Wrigley Memorial, the Botanical Gardens, the old Bird Park aviary, benches, storefronts, fountains, and numerous homes and buildings around town.
