Tiles from generation to generation Théophile Winckelmans Georges Winckelmans Théophile Winckelmans Jacques Winckelmans Barbara Winckelmans

Tiles from generation to generation Everything started for Théophile Winckelmans in 1894 when he opened an unglazed tile factory in Lomme in Northern France. Five generations have followed since then, sustaining the legacy and know-how of the founder whilst meeting the challenges specific to each era: the World Wars and bombing of the factory along with globalisation and the need to open up to export are some of the challenges successfully overcome which have allowed the factory to remain on its original site for so many years. After the opening up to the world and rapid development of our...

A family factory between tradition and modernity Beginning of industrial production on our present-day site (paving factory during a WWII razed (except for the kilns), and unglazed fully vitrified tiles). meaning a slow and difficult recovery.

A family factory between tradition and modernity Our Lomme factory has been operational for over 120 years. It now employs 120 people, most of whom have spent the bulk of their careers within the factory. These men and women, their full involvement and their knowledge of our product form the basis for our success and are the caretakers of the traditional know-how we have inherited and which we have a duty to preserve. But preserving it is not enough: in an era of multiple challenges, it is essential that our factory moves with the times and finds a balance between respect for tradition and...

The porcelain stoneware at the heart of our product

The porcelain stoneware at the heart of our product A Natural and Authentic Product Our fully vitrified unglazed fine tiles are made of natural materials (mainly clay) from France and Europe which produce a non-porous tile, the ideal, versatile product for all types of residential, commercial and industrial projects. Easy maintenance and excellent stain resistance thanks to near-zero porosity The absorption rate of under 0.5% of our fully vitrified tiles makes them stain-resistant and they can therefore be used in the dampest locations with no fear of them changing colour or appearance....

Winckelmans decorated tile Hand-made To perpetuate our know-how, our decorated tiles are entirely hand-pressed as has always been our tradition. Partitioning is a totally manual process which makes each item unique. Winckelmans has used this method for more than one hundred years, with special care paid to the preservation of the material. Very easy to maintain and highly resistant Unlike certain types of decorated tile, the Winckelmans decorated tile has near-zero porosity, which makes it easy to maintain and renders it especially stain-resistant. Nor does it require the use of a specific...
