I'm looking for Spanish factories, who produce wall & floor ceramic tiles.?
Sep 27, 2006 by santana | Posted in Small Business
Spain is well known for its production of ceramic tiles. I went on a business trip to Valencia, where much of the production is based. Your best bet is to get hold of a design magazine (such as 'Kitchens, Bedrooms and Bathrooms') and have a look at the classifed ads in the back to see who the various manufacturers are. Or try an internet search.

Does anyone know of a ceramic tile company in the Washington DC / Maryland area?
Jun 09, 2007 by charlie | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling
I'm looking to purchase bathroom shower tiles, and kitchen floor tiles (preferably spanish tiles) in the Washington, DC area or Maryland (Montgomery County area). Please list all places you know and if they are expensive, fair, or reasonable. Thanks!
You might want to check out Mosaic Tile in Rockville. I was just at their Owings Mills, Maryland location yesterday, (also looking for tile for a kitchen project) and the inventory and selection was amazing. I wouldn't call them inexpensive but that is a relative term. Another place, without quite as extensive a selection but probably a good place to start, would be a Home Depot Design Center. Good Luck!
