The standard EN 14411 defines that only products belonging to the Bla group with ≤ 0.5% water absorption can be classified as porcelain stoneware.
This characteristic guarantees excellent resistance to thermal fluctuations, to wear over time and to chemical products and confers compactness to the tiles.
Unlike any types of flooring whose characteristics of healthiness and resistance are conditional on particular methods of use and maintenance, ceramic is hygienic and has a high resistance. Ceramic does not contain plastic, is fire-resistant, does not give off toxic fumes, does not expand, does not promote the growth of fungi, moulds or bacteria and is recyclable.
