Know how of the Tilery In Soulaines, we keep the natural cycle of the ground. |  | | In the clay-pit, wind, rain, and frost, help the decomposition of the clay, and it is then humidified and mixed before being extracted. | |
| | The clay is put into the moulding machine; moulds of various forms are used, shaping the clay into desired forms. The finished products are placed on trays then are conveyed into the driers. When the drying is finished, then comes the time for the installation of the different products into the kiln. |  | |
|  After several weeks of drying, we place the dried products in a very precise way so that the heat of the fire is diffused between the products from the beginning to the end of the kiln. | |
|  | This very particular technique makes it possible to ensure perfect baking.
After being put delicately into the 100 cubic meter kiln, with a capacity of 80 tons, they are then baked.
The baking lasts 9 days, and during this time it is necessary to put wood day and night into this large furnace of which the temperature must go up to 1000 °.
The heat is then used to dry the new manufactured products. | |
|  | During their realization, each product is manipulated several times by hand,
this makes it possible to evaluate its quality at each stage.
Finally, this ensures the quality of each part.
Different products are made at the request of architects or customers. | |
