Retain the Shades
Retain the Shades
Beautiful and elegant surfaces , which retain the shades, colors and aesthetic characteristics of the materials they imitate , but resistant and durable as is porcelain stoneware : a wood-effect floor that does not emboss and does not mark , a surface identical to the more refined stone, but not porous and resistant to stains, and so on.

Easy to clean
Easy to clean
The slightly porous structure, characteristic of porcelain stoneware, makes it a clean material, which does not stain easily because it does not absorb dirt. Its compact surface also makes it easy to clean. Although we always suggest to use natural detergents, cleaning porcelain stoneware with chemical detergents does not damage it because the material does not absorb acids, which could reduce its life expectancy.

DIRT IS EASIER TO REMOVE FROM SURFACES WITHOUT USING DETERGENTS.
On a Porcelain surface, dirt adheres less. Consequently, it is even easier to clean, without the need for expensive and aggressive detergents that are potentially harmful for people and the environment. surfaces can be used on the external façades of buildings, where the action of rainfall is sufficient to keep them clean, eliminating maintenance costs.
Waterproof
Waterproof
A vitrified structure with a low degree of porosity guarantees a very low water absorption rate. The UNI (UNI EN 176 ISO BI) standards in fact define “porcelain” as ceramic having a water absorption coefficient of less than 0.5%.

Termal & Frost resistant

The Porcelain is insensitive to temperature changes. Characterized by practically zero porosity (and therefore by a water absorption value), stoneware does not freeze. It is therefore suitable for laying outdoors, even in particularly adverse weather conditions, and indoors, on surfaces in contact with stoves and hot pots.

The materials that make up porcelain stoneware are natural and, given its characteristics, it does not require chemical waterproofing, paints or resins that would make it harmful. It does not release radon or other harmful gases and in contact with heat sources (such as fire, pots or stoves) it does not emit toxic gases. The most attentive manufacturing companies can obtain UNI EN ISO 14001 and EMAS certifications relating to eco-management. Some have patented tiles which, thanks to a thin layer of titanium dioxide, exploit the photocatalysis process to make the material anti-polluting and antibacterial.

Anti Pollution
The air is cleaner wherever MARMOCERAMIC is installed: MARMOCERAMIC surfaces transform polluting molecules (e.g. nitrogen oxides or VOCs, volatile organic compounds) that may be present both inside and outside the building into harmless substances. Nitrogen oxides (NOx) represent the reference pollutant for outdoor air quality. They are also present in high concentrations even in closed places due to tobacco smoke and emissions from city traffic that can penetrate from doors, windows and ventilation systems.
Permanent treatment
Permanent Unalterable over time
Its exceptional resistance to abrasion, atmospheric agents and fire and its impermeability make porcelain stoneware an almost unalterable material over time. Feature that makes it an affordable investment.

Bacteriostatic treatment
Bacteriostatic treatment
Bacteria and viruses have a short life on a ceramic porcelain surface. Using (natural or artificial, even LED) light and the humidity naturally present in the air, Porcelain surfaces eliminate 99.99% of bacteria that settle on them, from the most common to the antibiotic-resistant ones. It is also demonstrated that surfaces eliminate particularly contagious viruses: tests performed on the H1N1 and H3N2 influenza viruses, Enterovirus 71 and Poliomyielitis have confirmed an efficacy of over 99%.

Abrasion resistant
Abrasion resistant
The Porcelain is resistant to abrasion, or wear due to contact. It is a material that resists foot traffic very well and does not scratch if bumped by a body even harder than it is. For this reason it is suitable not only for interiors, but also for exteriors and even in areas with a high density of pedestrian traffic.

ANTI-ODOR
In an environment cladded with MARMOCERAMIC® has no room for bad odours: thanks to their photocatalytic properties, MARMOCERAMIC surfaces eliminate the molecules that cause this unpleasant phenomenon. Thanks to the photocatalytic properties, the odorant molecules, which encountered the surfaces, are degraded and destroyed, eliminating the unpleasant odours.
