  • Crafted from 85%-95% waste materials from various industries. Our circular tiles and bricks deliver a organic/authentic finish, diverse colors, and lasting durability. They enable the creation of stunning facades, interior/exterior walls, and furniture while embodying our commitment to reducing environmental impact through reusability and low energy consumption. At the end of their life cycle, our products can be recycled repeatedly, contributing to a circular economy.

  • Mention that they are crafted from 85-95% recycled materials, primarily sourced from industrial waste such as ceramics, glass, and fly ash.

  • We initiate the sourcing of our waste materials through established local partners in nearby locations to minimize emissions generated during transportation.

  • Our products are manufactured in our Thailand-based facility, utilizing our in-house research and development, design, and production teams.

  • loqa tiles are simple and versatile. They can be used for facades, walls, and furniture. The fired circular line is suitable for both interior and some exterior uses, while the unfired circular line is primarily designed for interior applications.

  • You can install the tiles using standard methods depending on the project requirements. For dry areas, construction adhesives like Max Bond provide a strong bond and easy application, especially on walls and smaller surfaces. For high-moisture and wet areas, such as outdoor flooring or bathrooms, a cement-based tile adhesive is recommended for its superior durability, water resistance, and ability to handle temperature variations.

  • While our tiles are designed to be durable and aesthetically pleasing, we recommend applying a water-repellent matte or gloss coating to enhance their durability and ease of maintenance. This coating will help protect the tiles from stains and moisture, making them easier to clean and prolonging their lifespan. TOA 213 Water Repellent (WB) is a readily available option that works effectively, providing a pleasant finish.

  • - To maintain the appearance and longevity of loqa tiles, dust and vacuum regularly.
    - For cleaning, use a pH-neutral detergent, test it first, and damp mop as needed.
    - For deep cleaning, use a stiff-bristled brush or floor machine, remove excess solution with a vacuum or mop, rinse thoroughly, and dry the surface.
    - For stubborn stains, use a pH-neutral poultice, testing it beforehand.
    - Pressure washing is acceptable with a fan nozzle, keeping a minimum distance of three feet from the tiles.
    - Reapply sealant as needed following the manufacturer’s guidelines.

  • To further optimize our sustainable practices, we are now working on creating 100% upcycled waste tiles, produced through the use of renewable energy, and decreasing negative carbon impact on our planet.

sustainability

  • Through our commitment to circular design, we've created materials that not only prioritize sustainability but also offer a visually appealing aesthetic. These materials blend style with eco-consciousness, minimizing their environmental footprint. Our goal is to showcase that sustainability can coexist with captivating design, motivating individuals to embrace a more environmentally friendly approach to their choices and deviate from unsustainable norms. Additionally, we are committed to making our products both affordable and accessible to a wider audience.

  • We use waste to make our products, and we produce very little waste ourselves. Any leftover materials from production are reused. When our products are no longer needed, we recycle them. To avoid having too much stock, we make products to order with a specific delivery time, ensuring we provide the right product in the right quantity and colors.

  • The positive aspect is that 'loqa bricks' can be recycled and repeatedly used as raw materials for new 'loqa bricks.'

  • We have recently accepted by Climate Neutral to measure and certify our emissions, aiming to become carbon neutral in the near future.
