WHY EUROPEAN PORCELAIN ?
Italian porcelain is manufactured to the highest quality standards, they have a more realistic surface appearance mimicking natural stone perfectly, whilst still offering reduced maintenance, increased slip resistance and its superior manufacture that makes it easier to cut than all other porcelain products on the market.
We use the latest technologies in all our production plants, all of which are Sacmi machinery (sacmi is the number one in world for production line machinery and technology)
We source the finest raw materials from specific quarries from around the world to give best final result in quality of finish, for better durability meaning greater longevity of use, greater consistency from batch to batch as well as the latest high-definition inkjet printers for more defined realistic graphic design.
Our printers use minimum tri-colour heads to enable a wider spectrum of graphic variance, double most other products available in the UK, and refined attention detail for more realistic results. We have invested in longer than average Kilns for our production, this enabling us to manage closer and better the overall result of each product, this is achieved by gradually firing the tile over a longer period between temperatures of 1000 to 1300 degrees C, building the temperature up gradually and then a longer cooling down process meaning thus resulting in less stress on the product, meaning no bowing and less brittle than our competitors.
The production processes we use are above the industry norm, this helps us ensure our products have greater density than the average product in the market, meaning greater strength and less subject to wear under heavy foot traffic environments
