At Cersaie 2026, Gres Aragón-FAVEKER will present its latest extruded ceramic and porcelain stoneware solutions, designed to meet the needs of contemporary architecture. At its new location in Hall 26, stand B189, the company will bring together ventilated façades, volumetric solutions, swimming pools, technical flooring, steps and special pieces, demonstrating ceramics’ ability to form part of complete construction systems.
The stand is conceived as an architectural journey from exterior to interior, with the different solutions integrated into real-use settings. The aim is to show not only the product itself, but also its ability to address different scales and requirements within a single project.
The pool takes center stage at the Gres Aragón stand, with a water-filled installation that directly demonstrates how the different ceramic pieces and solutions are used in this type of project. Through ACEPOOL, the company approaches the pool as a complete ceramic system, in which wall and floor coverings, edges, overflow systems, steps and different junctions are designed to work together.
Ceramic extrusion makes it possible to develop pieces with specific geometries for each function, incorporating at the manufacturing stage the solution required for some of the most demanding points in a project, such as copings, corners, channels, overflow systems, coves, and changes in level.
One of the main new products presented at Cersaie 2026 is the new Monocompact Slim pool edge, which joins Gres Aragón’s porcelain stoneware collections that include specific pool pieces. The new solution broadens the options for resolving pool edges while maintaining material and aesthetic continuity throughout the scheme.
Also on show is the new Hueso color in the Materia collection, extending the palette of this stone-inspired porcelain stoneware designed for indoor-outdoor continuity.
Ventilated façades
FAVEKER, Gres Aragón’s division specializing in ceramic ventilated façades, will showcase new solutions focused on volumetric design, efficiency, and customization of the building envelope. Extruded ceramic makes it possible to create pieces with relief, depth, and specific geometries tailored to the requirements of each project.
One example is the refurbishment of the Campanar building in Valencia, where FAVEKER has developed a ventilated façade solution conceived with particular attention to passive fire safety.
The solution is based on a fundamental premise: the fire performance of a façade depends on the system as a whole, not solely on its outer cladding. The envelope integrates ceramic, fixings and a metal substructure, mineral insulation, and cavity compartmentation elements.
Its outer skin uses the GA20 Campanar piece, made from vitrified extruded porcelain stoneware and developed specifically by FAVEKER together with the ARQUEHA architecture studio. The material has an A1 reaction-to-fire classification under UNE-EN 13501-1, corresponding to non-combustible materials.
The system also incorporates rock wool insulation and intumescent barriers in the ventilated cavity, designed to compartmentalize it in the event of fire and limit the vertical spread of fire associated with the chimney effect. Extrusion has also made it possible to tailor the geometry, relief and modular layout of GA20 Campanar, combining fire safety, façade engineering, and volumetric expression in a single building envelope.
ARADECK and steps
Gres Aragón will also present ARADECK, its raised access flooring system made from extruded ceramic slats and installed dry. Designed for terraces, roofs, rooftop areas, walkways, and pool surrounds, it creates service-accessible surfaces, facilitates access to concealed installations, and simplifies maintenance or replacement of individual pieces.
The system extends the possibilities for using ceramics outdoors and in demanding environments, offering resistance, durability, and visual continuity.
The proposal is completed by a broad range of steps and special pieces, developed to resolve staircases, changes in level, edge details and construction junctions, maintaining material continuity throughout the project and reinforcing Gres Aragón’s ability to offer solutions beyond conventional flooring.
