Gres Aragón-Faveker will be taking part in the upcoming edition of CERSAIE, the international tile show held in Bologna (Italy) from September 23 to 27th, presenting a wide variety of advanced high-performance solutions and systems for forward-looking architecture and buildings.
The specialist in extruded and porcelain tile collections will be showcasing its latest energy-efficient ventilated façades, special tiles, volumetric tiles, pool systems, and floor tiles for indoors and out.
The Selene and Materia collections for projects with a timeless, modern appeal
For this edition and new season, Gres Aragón has launched two new high-performance collections specially designed for outdoor use. The Selene and Materia collections feature 60x120cm rectified porcelain floor tiles and 120cm step tiles.
Both collections also include a wide range of special tiles, a hallmark of the company that sets products by Gres Aragón apart. These special tiles can be used to round off certain finer details and to meet specific design needs, ensuring visual harmony. As well as the step tiles mentioned above, the special tiles include side caps and skirtings for steps, and skirting tiles.
Selene is a cement-effect tile collection in shades of white, cream and mocha, while Materia
reproduces natural stone streaked with subtle grey and ivory veins.
The two collections are designed for outdoor use due to their high-performance technical
properties and non-slip grip. They are perfect for terraces, gardens, stairs and poolside areas. Thanks to the timeless neutral appeal of their designs, they guarantee visual continuity between indoor and outdoor areas of the home.
Urban20mm: suitable for raised-access floor systems and wheeled traffic
At CERSAIE, visitors will be able to see the Urban20mmn collection: 20mm-thick porcelain tiles whose thickness makes them highly resistant and suitable for a myriad of uses. The tiles come in a 60x60cm format in a range of whites, greys and beiges.
Urban20mm can be used indoors or out, in raised-access floor systems, or laid directly on top of grass, sand or gravel. The collection is so resistant that it can withstand wheeled traffic when it is bonded with adhesive or cement-based adhesive. Urban20mm is perfect for terraces, parks, swimming pools, beachside areas and even parking areas for cars. Because it comes with Bioklinker, Gres Aragón’s antibacterial treatment, the collection offers superior hygiene guarantees.
