Floors
  • White porcellanato PEI4 ceramic floors.
    Porcellanato is a word of Italian origin that is associated with tile that possesses a high degree of toughness and durability. Porcellanato is classified ISO 13006, indicating material compressed to an absorption level less than or equal to 0.5%. It is obtained from base materials of great strength, and then submitted to a heat and pressure treatment greater than that utilized for the production of conventional ceramic tiles. Porcellanato type PEI resists abrasion and scratching. Porcellanato type PEI4 is more scratch-resistant than conventional ceramic tile of the same PEI. It is also heat-resistant, friction-resistant and resists expansion as a result of flooding.
