The Uniqueness of VILLI Products

VILLI products are the result of very intensive research and development. The result is a wall and floor covering made of glass with incredible colors and optimal precision.

All VILLI Products, from the smallest mosaic (1" x 1") to the largest tile (24" x 24") are calibrated and can be laid in a modular combination. Since all VILLI products are manufactured from 8mm thick glass, they may be combined with ceramic products, stoneware or natural stone with a minimum of complication and hence make a particularly attractive design element. The vast range of brilliant colors and formats cater for all design requirements in wall and floor coverings.

The production process

A colored paste suitable for silk-screen printing is produced in our laboratory following strict quality controil standards. This paste is used to print the glass plates. In a second printing process the color coated glass plates are printed with a white protective cover. This colored glass then undergoes a tunnel furnace process during which the imprinted color pigments are melted into the glass. This step creates an homogeneous piece of colored glass. The progress of the melting process, which is subject to different parameters for temperature curves, is continuously monitored electronically, thus ensuring that the semi-finished goods are tension free and can be subjected to further processing without any problems. After a further quality control (quality of surface finish, tone quality) these semi-finished goods are cut to size to create mosaics. After a further washing and drying process, the components, now in their final size (mosaics, trim pieces & tiles) are sent through the furnace again for their edges to be fire polished.

Highest standards of quality control

On cooling, all components undergo another 100% quality control. The tiles and trim pieces are then packed, while the mosaics are initially bonded to fiber glass nets (12" x 12") with a 2mm. gap between pieces before being packed. based on color, color mix or design.

All these elaborate production steps ensure that our products are of a consistently high quality This is of particular importance when working with the tiles. For example, wall and floor tiles can be cut, broken and drilled with conventional tile laying tools. A glass cutter is only required in a few exceptional cases for particularly complex cut forms. Adhesives and joint sealants have been developed specifically for glass products. The choice of product to use depends on the specifics of the installation.

Expression of stylish luxury and elegance

The VILLI product line with its wide range of colors and formats gives designers all the scope they require to put their ideas into practice. The design line for the mosaics and the various surfaces offer unlimited creative possibilities. The significant depth of our products reflected in the interplay of light and shadow creates living spaces with a sense of well-being. The product leaves you with a sense of stylish luxury and elegance.
