Product catalog summary

Introduction and Company Overview

La Paloma Cerámica y Gres annually updates its product catalogue, highlighting a comprehensive range of ceramic and stoneware products. The recent integration of Portuguese company Vale da Gândara enhances both product quality and variety. The company focuses on continuous innovation while preserving traditional ceramic craftsmanship.

Product Innovations and Range Expansion

Significant innovations include the addition of the Catalonian gauge to the four-face stoneware brick range, expanding it to ten models and allowing versatile aesthetic combinations. The paver range has been extended with new models tailored for high-traffic areas, blending natural looks with modern design.

Technical Solutions and Certifications

Advanced technical features such as the Silensis System provide acoustic insulation compliant with the Spanish Technical Building Code (CTE). La Paloma holds the DIT PLUS No. 334 certification for its Tabiceram large-format partition system, a sector first, including versions with laminated plasterboard.

Environmental and Social Commitment

The company balances a global market approach with environmental respect and social responsibility, positioning its catalogue as a professional guide for diverse construction projects.

Product Specifications and Advantages

Four-Face Stoneware Bricks are fired at 1300ºC, featuring very low porosity (3.5%) and absorption, making them frost-resistant and free from efflorescence. They exhibit high mechanical strength (500 daN/cm²) and minimal expansion (0.10 mm/m), suitable for extreme climates including coastal saline and mountainous regions. Production is fully traceable via barcode from manufacture to delivery. These bricks maximize material use (100% utilization including damaged pieces) and reduce labor by eliminating finishing on unseen surfaces. Unlike plaster or monocouche façades, they require no maintenance over their lifespan.

Product Models and Dimensions

The catalogue details models such as Castilla, Aragón, Guadarrama, Levante, and Oporto, with typical dimensions around 236 x 114 x 51/65 mm and weights from 1.80 to 3.05 kg. These models offer exclusive tonalities and natural aesthetics.

Glazed facing bricks
Pavers for high-traffic and garden areas
Partition walling systems including Ladryeso and Tabiceram

Usage and Installation Recommendations
