antiquity tiles cares for the environment

For close to 25 years Antiquity has thoughtfully designed, carefully crafted, and consciously produced all of their own ceramic art tile in Maine. From raw clay to finished art tile — all in house, every step of the way — they work hard to reduce their impact on our environment, continuing to achieve our goal for a low carbon footprint.

Antiquity uses recycled wood as their main source of heat, to fuel their kilns and fire their ceramic tile at 2500 degrees “white heat” giving our high-fired tile a life expectancy of over 2000 years. They turn their clay and glaze discards back into usable clay and glaze with little or no waste, they buy all our products recycled whenever and wherever possible, and their clay bodies and art glazes are formulated only by them — and fabricated exclusively with American manufacturers, thereby strengthening our national economy.

Antiquity Tile is passionately respectful of its environment, and they seek to help the natural world around them as they engage in their worthwhile work of creating and crafting fine art works of clay for  clients and customers.
