On November 20 the entire Fireclay Tile team ventured down to our manufacturing facility in Aromas for a company wide BBQ. Why? We nailed our October sales goal and to celebrate Martin made us a BBQ to die for.
In what has certainly been a challenging year for any company in the building materials space, we have thrived at repositioning ourselves and finding ways to keep doing things better. For our sales and marketing folks based in San Jose, the visit to Aromas gave them a chance to see all the changes we have made in our manufacturing plant to improve how we make our ceramics and the quality controls in place.
Here is a slideshow we put together from the BBQ. Huge thanks to Martin for working his grill magic and to Rosa for her delicious salads and salsas!
October was a great month for us and we look forward to many more!
Fireclay at GreenBuild09 in Phoenix: Booth 4910 (November 2009)
We’re attending GreenBuild in Phoenix, AZ this week and will be showcasing our Debris Series at booth 4910.
We had a great time at the show last year and look forward to a great show this year. Paul and Eric from Fireclay are on site, so please stop by and say hello if you are in the area.
For fun we put together this little video of us putting our booth together. The joys of tradeshow setup!
Enjoy!
DISCONTINUING Jellybeans Glass and Rocks - November 2009
Effective immediately Fireclay Tile is discontinuing our line of Jellybean Glass and Rocks. We are sorry if this causes any confusion, but we have decided to focus exclusively on our Debris, Vitrail, and Claymonde products, which we believe best match our brand and the market needs. This was both an internal decision, and based on feedback from several surveys sent out in September to dealers, architects, designers, and contractors.
Over the next few months we will be selling off our current inventory at a deep discount (50% off) , and would welcome any remaining orders you might have or stocking orders with what product we have. We have posted a current inventory sheet, and will fulfill orders as they come in.
We will continue to focus all of our energy, time, and attention on our own designed products: Debris Series - Recycled Ceramic Tile: Our absolutely gorgeous and unique Debris Series is made of over 60% locally sourced recycled materials and is made by Fireclay in California. It is the only ceramic tile featuring post-consumer recycled waste, and it is available in over 112 natural glaze colors and in hundreds of numerous shapes, sizes and decorative pieces.
Vitrail Series - Handmade Crackled Tile: A handmade, square-edged tile produced on a white, high-fired clay body. Vitrail’s highly crackled, semi-transparent glazes are rich and deep, and are available in over 112 glaze colors. The Vitrail series is also made by Fireclay in California and is available in hundreds of sizes, shapes and decorative patterns, and the tiles are available in Gloss, Patine and Velvet Matte glaze finishes.
Claymonde - Sheets of Color: A unique, futuristic, large format tile (maximum 3’ x 6 ’) with straight edges and a very thin body that is flexible, easy to mount, and nearly perfectly flat. Claymonde is available in 32 colors, is composed of all natural elements with no-VOC emitting glazes, and truly stands apart in the marketplace.
We look forward to making even more improvements to help best satisfy your needs.
In an effort to better communicate our history, product offering, and product details, we have launched a new video series that we will be adding to constantly. We are really excited for this next step fo rour company, and hope it allows you to learn a bit more about us in your quest for beautiful ceramic products!
