Did you know that Italian ceramic products have a longer lifespan than other materials?
Italian ceramic floor and wall tiles and sanitaryware are extremely hard-wearing and durable. They last as long as the building itself so they do not need to be replaced or require any special maintenance work, just regular cleaning.
For this reason, the choice of Italian ceramic products helps to offset the costs of purchasing and maintaining new buildings and eliminates the energy that would be consumed to produce replacement materials.
Durability and low maintenance are essential requirements of sustainable construction.
The Life Cycle Assessment conducted by the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia has shown that Italian ceramic tiles are among the most sustainable of all surface covering materials.
Their properties also make them ideal for the construction of buildings that do not suffer from sick building syndrome.
