Porcelain stoneware

Porcelain stoneware: features and benefits

Porcelain stoneware wall and floor coverings represent the perfect compromise between quality, aesthetic impact and cost-effectiveness.

This material with unique properties is distinguished by its exceptional versatility. This is the characteristic underlying the multiple applications of porcelain stoneware, now widely used for indoor and outdoor floor and wall coverings.

Porcelain stoneware: what it is and how it is made

Porcelain stoneware is a particular type of ceramic, obtained from mixtures of lean clay mixed with other compounds, fired at high temperatures (generally between 1,200 and 1,400 °C). The result is a very compact and solid material, characterised by reduced porosity and, therefore, excellent impermeability.

Porcelain stoneware tiles: why choose them?

Made in Italy porcelain stoneware floor and wall tiles combine the aesthetic refinement of the countless effects available with excellent qualities of strength and durability. The main advantages of porcelain stoneware include

• resistance to mechanical shocks, scratches and wear;
• refractoriness to water and various chemical agents;
• ease of cleaning and the high degree of hygiene guaranteed;
• resistance to the formation of stains and mould;
• the anti-freeze properties (i.e. resistance to low temperatures);
• the refined aesthetic finish offered by the vitrification process.

Stoneware tiles are designed to last over time, maintaining their aesthetic characteristics unchanged over the years. The models designed for outdoor paving, in particular, do not fear the action of the weather, the sun's rays and sudden changes in temperature, nor those caused by the transit of vehicles (in the case of tiles for outdoor floors suitable for vehicles).
