Are Italian ceramic tiles or other materials the best choice for interior floors?

Italian ceramic tiles are made from carefully selected and recyclable natural raw materials.

Other flooring materials may contain PVC, phthalates and vinyl chloride, all of which are carcinogenic substances that may pose a risk to human health.

Unlike Italian ceramic tiles which do not burn in the event of fire, products containing plastic melt at relatively low temperatures releasing fumes and toxic substances.

These surfaces tend to wear easily, even during daily cleaning, whereas Italian ceramic tiles remain as good as new for fifty years or more.

Finally, as certified by the industry-wide EPD and the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) conducted by the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italian ceramic tiles have one of the lowest levels of environmental impact and highest levels of safety and user comfort of all indoor surface covering materials.
