Tejas Borja will be present at Cevisama 2019, from 28 January to 1 February at Feria Valencia.
Tejas Borja presents from the most traditional formats and finishes, such as curved or mixed tiles, to the most innovative models and finishings on the market, such as the Flat-5XL ceramic tile (the largest flat tile in the world) and the finishings of the BorjaJET range (the only company in the sector that applies InkJet finishings to the decoration of ceramic tiles). In addition, a wide range of non-ceramic components and roofing systems for installation, thus converting us into experts and references in the sector of pitched roofs.
You will find us in Hall 3, Level 2, Stand B15.
Below we provide a link so that you can obtain your free admission and Access to the Feria Valencia without queuing. We will be delighted to welcome you and present you our new products , finishings, complements and installation systems.
AQUIBAT, the most important event for the public works and construction sector was held in Nouvelle-Aquitaine (France – Bordeaux) from 14 to 16 March (2018) in the Parc des Expositions in Bordeaux.
On its Aquibat 2018 stand (Hall 1 – Allée D – Travée 35 – Stand 3509) Tejas Borja presented its recently developed innovations, which are detailed in its “DOSSIER THE ®EVOLUTION”.
BorjaJET, the first line of tiles decorated using digital technology on an industrial scale, gives excellent definition in the reproduction of all types of effects never achieved before, combining the richness of natural materials with the technical properties of tiles. This revolutionary technology makes it possible to create finishes never seen before.
To complement this range of finishes, the company has debuted a new format of tile which is equally revolutionary. The FLAT-5XL is the largest ceramic tile in the world, unique in the sector and perfectly flat. When combined with BorjaJET, these tiles can be used to make any type of roof conceived by architects or designers.
Tejas Borja also used AQUIBAT to launch its new complete system for insulated and ventilated roofs which provides maximum energy efficiency, something essential for today’s buildings. BorjaTHERM is a THERMAL INSULATED ROOFING SYSTEM which is fast and easy to install, both for rebuilds and refurbishment projects, and gives the roof the highest levels of thermal protection.
¿Are the old roof tiles reusable? Do they have any warranty??
Usually in old building we can find old roof tiles, basically Arab-style roofing tiles or Marseille roof tiles, that were originally handmade produced by smallold local “potters” so there is no guarantee to be used in a new deck or for a roof rehabilitation. According with the new mandatory CTE (Código Técnico de la Edificación / Technical Building Code) is mentioned for the supply of any construction material on site, the following:
“7.2.1. Control of documentation of supplies
1. The product suppliers must provide documentation and quality guarantees required for the products supplied. The suppliers will deliver to the builder, who will provide to the manager on site, all product identification documents required by the mandatory regulations. This documentation shall include, at least, the following documents: a) Documents of origin, supply sheet and labeling; b) The manufacturer’s guarantee certificate, signed by a natural person; and c) lThe documents of conformity or administrative authorizations required by regulation, including documentation corresponding to the CE marking of construction products…”.
If we cannot find the manufacturer of the old mentioned roof tiles and there is no documentation for them, there will be no warranty and can be used only for decorative purposes and not to fulfill the functions for which the roof tiles are inicially made (covering and protection against rainwater and winds.)

Did you know…?
…Tejas Borja has been manufacturing Plana Alicantina, a flat roof tile format, Marseille type, since 3 generations. This makes it, a product suitable for replacement that fits in installation with similar old roof tiles, produced by different manufacturers.
…The Aged roof tiles finishes of Tejas Borja have been created by investigating how the roofs age in different geografic areas.
…The textures on the roof tiles that are represented in Centenaria range have been inspired by the millennial technique of the handmade manufacture of roof tiles. Faithfully reproducing the hands and fingers marking on the roofing tile, Centenaria is a reference in the industry.
BORJASYSTEM is a dry, ventilated and safe installation roofing system. This installation system was born under the necessity of adapting to new requirements with regards to the need of reducing energy consumption, and CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions to meet Horizon 2020 energy objectives.
A BORJASYSTEM ventilated roof, installed together with the corresponding layer of thermal insulation, improves the energy efficiency of the roof, playing an important role in reducing the heat which passes through the covering to inside the home.
This roofing system minimizes the chances of condensation forming in the thermal insulation and the materials of the exterior walls and roof, thanks to the use of waterproof and breathable membranes and the continuous circulation of air between the supporting structure and the tiles. The incorrect use of mortar causes the majority of problems experienced with sloping ceramic tile roofs:
Damp and leaks.
Structural overloading.
Cracks and breaks in parts and joints.
Lack of adequate ventilation.
The BORJASYSTEM installation system defines the criteria to be followed for a complete dry installation of the roof without the use of mortar. When it comes to roofing, the correct installation of the system is as or more important than the material used to finish it.
What should be consider regarding the ventilation of the roof?
Adequate ventilation of the roof, unthinkably, is an aspect not often considered when building a house, although it is an important factor that strongly determines its durability and efficiency. Having this matter into consideration during construction stage will save expensive repairs in the future and will make the cost look insignificant.
As known, ceramic roof tiles are porous products and therefore susceptible to absorb and release water (known as “breath” of the material), that makes them ideal to regulate the moisture inside the building.
How to avoid moisture through the roof in a house?
For a good ventilation of the deck consider:
ensuring a good setting of the roof with special attention on the minimum air chamber
using Ventilation roof tiles displayed in a proper array
This permits an easy drying of the roof tiles and eliminates moisture build-up inside the roof.
The roof ventilation will improve the conservation, thereby enhancing the maintenance of the roof. It also reduces the appearance of mosses and fungi, since a well-ventilated roof tile retains the water absorbed for a lot less time and therefore fails to provide moisture conditions that favour germination.
Why is it so important the roof ventilation?
Even if a roof is properly done, the humidity will have access inside. This is a phenomenon always present and technically unavoidable; therefore, the system used for the entire roof must provide a way for the condensed water to be removed from the inner layers of the roof.
Thus, ventilation becomes the key element for that purpose, which is achieved by providing a chamber beneath the roof tiles to force airflow re-cycle through for a continuous drying process.
Why choose ceramic roof tiles for the roof instead of another material?
Ceramic roof tiles (clay roof tiles) are the result of the use and management of natural raw materials which by their nature have proven their quality over thousands of years. Our roof tiles are known for their durability, high strength, dimensional stability and high performance thermal and acoustic insulation of buildings.
Given their continued use over time, one can say that the roofs coated with ceramic roof tiles are a traditional element in the landscape. When thinking about building a house, the “roof” concept is associated with the bright colours of ceramic roof tiles, safe and durable. A ceramic roof tile roof offers added value as an element of comfort in the home, with permanent protection and additional aesthetic value.
Nowadays, although competing with alternative materials, more and more the ceramic roof tile is said to be the best solution. This is due not only to their aesthetic features, but their properties and performance even under the action of the most severe weather conditions. Our products are long lasting and environmental friendly.
In our catalogue you will find wide range of ceramic roof tiles, different shapes, sizes, textures and colours, from the most traditional roofing tiles to perfectly Flat roofing tiles that can adapt to new architectural forms.
