Digital material passports - Classics Tide

A wall tile series that combines vibrant warmth and textural appeal, typically associated with artisanal tiles, while keeping a contemporary look.

Mosa Classics Tide is characterised by an artisanal-style glazing technique. They hold a contemporary look and feel due to their straight edges yet mimics a hand pressed clay body. This allows the glaze to pool as it flows over the tile, resulting in lighter and darker shades across each tile. These various visual depths ensure lively and striking surfaces without repetition.

Mosa focuses intensively on sustainability in the sense of Cradle to Cradle Certified®. They reduce waste, save energy and focus on using pure raw materials. Mosa tiles help designers achieve positive scores for Dutch and international building labels such as BREEAM, DGNB, HQE, and LEED.

What is a digital material passport?

A material passport is a digital document listing all the materials that are included in a product or construction during its life cycle in order to facilitate circularity decisions in supply chain management at the end of the building life.

At Cundall, we want to create a passport to materials/products that will also provide information before its use so designers and contractors are capable of making conscious decisions of products that could affect the embodied carbon and health well-being of a project, facilitating the inclusion of the best low carbon and/ healthy materials that align with their design.
