Appearance is just one of the reasons for choosing ceramic tiles for cladding your walls and floors, indoors and outdoors. In fact, ceramic tiles offer many advantages if compared to other materials. These advantages include their technical performance, their safety, the fact that they are environmental-friendly and easy to take care of.
Tiles produced using different technology - each within its scope of intended use (floors or walls, interiors or exteriors, for residential or commercial uses) - are amongst the most resistant materials to wear and scratching.
Ceramic tiles resist water, damp and steam: ceramic tiles can be installed in damp areas, such as kitchens, bathrooms, spas and even swimming pools.
Ceramic tiles resist heat
Ceramic tiles resist heat: ceramic tiles resist heat and direct flames perfectly since they are non-flammable and they do not emit, in the event of fires, harmful substances either for people or the environment. There is also no danger of them blackening further to contact with hot objects.
Ceramic tiles resist time
Ceramic tiles resist time and are virtually unalterable: ceramic is an extremely resistant material that remains unchanged and does not deteriorate as time goes by. Ceramic tiles do not fade or darken, they are colourfast and their finish remains as it is, even in the event of long exposure to UV rays.
Ceramic tiles resist staining and are easy to take care
Ceramic tiles are hygienic, they do not stain and they are easy to take care of. Ceramic does not facilitate the development of bacteria, does not deteriorate, is waterproof, non-absorbent and is one of the easiest materials to clean and disinfect. Ceramics resist virtually any type of chemical. Daily cleaning can be performed using only warm water.
Ceramic tiles can be cleaned with aggressive detergents
Ceramic tiles can also be cleaned using aggressive products or treatments: as far as routine cleaning is concerned, warm water is sufficient. However, if deep-down cleaning becomes necessary, it is possible to use aggressive detergents or strong cleaning methods, such as for instance high-pressure cleaners or brushes, without any risk of damage.
Ceramic tiles resist frost and adverse weather conditions
Porcelain stoneware tiles resist frost and adverse weather conditions and can be installed outdoors. Choose the right product for your intended use in terms of non-slip properties, thickness, finish and installation technique: you will never have to worry about chipping, breakage or other issues caused by frost and damp, which damage or reduce the life of many other materials.
