What is
porcelain stoneware
Porcelain stoneware is a ceramic product made of high quality raw materials (ceramic clays, feldspar, kaolin, and aggregates) which reach extremely high temperatures during firing, lending the tiles a vitreous structure and high surface hardness.
The word stoneware refers to the compactness of the ceramic mass which is due to the fact that it is so highly vitrified. The production process makes this material particularly resistant to loads, hard-wearing, and also completely water repellent.

Porcelain stoneware is a safe, 100% recyclable material and contains no plastic. The result of an industrial process involving advanced technology, stoneware tiles do not retain dirt or bacteria, are extremely hygienic and easy to clean, and do not age.

- Wear resistance
- Inert and fireproof
- Scratch resistance
- Frost-proof and unaffected by sudden changes in temperature
