1 NEW TILE COLLECTION 2015

2 is the motto for the new tiles for 2015 by Villeroy & Boch Tiles. Inspired by its own historical models, it developed highly aesthetic tile ranges that have a defining effect on their surroundings and bear a distinctive signature linking the history of the company with contemporary themes. The new tile ranges are innovative and completely independent concepts with a new and yet familiar aesthetic look. A perfect symbiosis of the historical and the modern has been achieved, for example, by placing the famous Mettlacher Platten, or Mettlach tiles, in a contemporary context and giving them a highly modern slant with regard to colour, format and decoration. Furthermore, Villeroy & Boch Tiles has linked historical elements with the popular industrial style, which has its roots in the current living culture of modern city life. The result: expressive tiles with a surface finish reminiscent of cast concrete and an exclusive used-look décor. Luxury and glamour continue to feature prominently and, in 2015, have been reinterpreted in the form of premium marble effects with elegant colours and exquisite decoration. Last but not least, nature is a sought-after theme in the interior design world. The desire for materials with an authentic feel, original forms and natural colours is met in a very special way. Inspired by distinctive natural stone, the new ranges offer amazing stone effects in harmonious colours with matching decorations. The wood-look theme has been skilfully adopted and implemented in ceramics with authenticity and elegance, as well as successfully combined with historical models. And so we come full circle: the 2015 collection impressively combines contemporary themes with Villeroy & Boch tradition. NEW TILE COLLECTION 3

3 INSPIRING AND NOBLE: ASTORIA ASTORIA resembles Jura marble and gives rooms and bathrooms an elegant natural look. The effect is tastefully emphasised by the matt or rough-polished surfaces that bring out the different design nuances of each individual tile. This natural elegance is also reflected in the décors optionally with round shapes in warm colours or a geometrical diamond pattern in cooler colours, along with a triangular mosaic which combines all six colours of the range. 8 Floor tiles: ASTORIA medium grey

9 The ceramicplus finish is applied to our nonvitreous wall tiles at the factory. Our tiles thus require much less care. Often, the only cleaning materials that are required are water and a cloth; aggressive cleaning agents are redundant. TECHNICAL INFORMATION with without vilbostone porcelain stoneware permits a wealth of different surface designs featuring unusual colour and sheen effects. vilbostone porcelain stoneware is available both glazed and unglazed, with a matt, polished, rough-polished or relief surface finish and in various classes of slip resistance. Unglazed vilbostone porcelain stoneware with a matt or rough-polished surface finish have the vilbostoneplus seal, which renders the tiles particularly resistant to dirt and stains. During the manufacturing process, the structure of the tile surface is sealed in order to further increase the tiles resi stance to staining and dirt, as a result of which subsequent treatment with impregnating agents is no longer necessary. 44

10 Tiles by Villeroy & Boch meet every aspect of the international parameters required for sustainable building. All over the world, our tiles feature in architectural projects that are classified by the German DGNB, the American LEED and the British BREEAM. The closed manufacturing processes that include both traditional and state-of-the-art technologies, such as digital print, meet the very highest environmental standards. All raw materials used in the ceramic mass, glazes and pastes, as well as for packaging the tiles, are evaluated according to strict ecological principles. The entire manufacturing process avoids emissions into the water, soil and air that would have a detrimental effect on the environment. Heat recovery and continuous energy-efficiency measures, as well as environmentally aware waste management, are testimony to the environmental compatibility of our production. At least 85% of the waste produced is recycled. The waste water generated by the manufacturing process and the solids it contains are almost entirely re-used. Thanks to heat recovery, CO 2 -emissions can be reduced by about 3000 tons per year. Not only manufacturing considerations but also the lasting quality of the designs of our tiles earn them the sustainable building accolade at international level. Both manufacture and the products themselves are continuously assessed in accordance with the latest independent system and product certifications. For further information about projects and certifications, as well as videos and brochures about our environmental management, please go to Ecological, environmentally friendly production V&B Fliesen GmbH has been awarded the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) label by the IBU (Institut für Bauen und Umwelt e.v.).
