Our Green Mottled Glazed finish do a perfect matching with both the brickworks and the windows. We can see it as an interesting transition between the natural and the glass finish.

Sustainability At Soladrilho we are committed to sustainability. Taking advantage of what our climate can offer, it makes 4 year now since an extensive array of panels was installed on the factory's roof allowing us to use renewable energy, and consequently reducing the carbon footprint. These solar panels generate a substantial amount of clean energy, supporting not only the factory's daily operations but also contributing to a greener future. Embracing solar energy is a crucial step in minimizing environmental impact, and our missing shows that industrial innovation can go hand-by-hand with ecological responsibility.
