Porcelain stoneware surfaces are easy to maintain: they do not retain dirt and are easily cleaned with a damp cloth and warm water, without the use of impregnating agents, waxes or special polishing.

The porcelain stoneware slabs do not contain volatile organic compounds (VOC), which are potentially toxic to man and the environment. Furthermore, they do not contain formaldehyde, one of the most common pollutants in home interiors, and are free of PVC, plastics or petroleum derivatives.

Porcelain stoneware slabs are impervioustomites, bacteria, fungi, mould and other irritants. They are therefore the ideal solution when designing environments that require very high levels of hygiene.

Porcelain stoneware is not afraid of moisture and does not rot, making it the safest solution in frequently humid areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, balconies, porches, patios, driveways, bathtubs and swimming pools. It withstands even the lowest temperatureswithout the risk of cracks, cracking or material detachment. In addition, porcelain stoneware slabs do not bend or break as a result of temperature changes and can therefore be used in applications characterised by strong atmospheric exposure, such as the exterior walls of buildings or ventilated façades.

Porcelain stoneware contains no plastic or organic substances of any kind and is inert when subjected to high temperatures. It is therefore in no way combustible or flammable and cannot be damaged by burning cigarettes, embers, hot liquids or flames. Porcelain stoneware slabs are non-flammable, so they do not burn and, in the event of a fire, they do not produce smoke nor release toxic substances, reducing the spread of flames and thus facilitating evacuation and extinguishing operations.

The hardness of the surface makes porcelain stoneware slabs resistant to scratches and everyday wear. They are therefore particularly suitable for the design of intensively used spaces such as kitchen countertops and bathrooms, as well as environments in the Ho.Re.Ca. sector such as coffee bars and restaurants.

The perfect sintering and very low level of surface absorption make porcelain stoneware slabs impervious to liquids, chemical agents or detergents and acidic substances.

Porcelain stoneware surfaces do not fade or change color even when permanently exposed to direct sunlight or polluting atmospheric agents. Thus, they are particularly suitable in outdoor applications.

Porcelain stoneware has a low environmental impact at all stages of its production process: from the extraction of raw materials in selected quarries, to its production according to energy/water-efficient criteria, up to its disposal.

Porcelain stoneware is one of the most environmentally friendly options available among surface covering materials. Manufactured largely from recycled and recyclable materials, it has an almost unlimited lifespan and retains its technical and aesthetic characteristics over time.
