How it all started St. Joris ceramics industry was founded in 1923. It was a traditional company, specialised in producing artistically designed starting materials of ceramics. After the war St. Joris switched to the professional production of glazed ceramic products. From clay to ceramics St. Joris makes its ceramic products from a very pure Westerwalder type of clay. The coarse-ceramic, vacuum-pressed blending and hand-form/moulding methods create a high fragment density. After drying the glaze is applied and baked once. The single-fire procedure at 1200 degrees results in a very strong product, in which fragments and the glazing have been cindered. During the production process the clay composition, the form of the products and the thickness of the glazing layer are always monitored. Colourful quality The glazed bricks of St. Joris meet the highest technical requirements. They retain their shape, are colourfast and are free of crazes. In addition, they are frost-proof and have a self-washing coating of glaze. As a result they are insensitive to graffiti, for example. The most striking aspect of the St. Joris collection is the rich pallet of colours. Almost all RAL-tints can be supplied. This is an enrichment of all types of masonry. The range St. Joris offers the building stones for every challenging design with imagination.
