TILES VS STONE: ceramic is ecological!
LONDON / AGILITYPR.NEWS / January 24, 2020 / STONE OR TILE? PORCELAIN STONEWARE IS BETTER
Sustainable, recyclable, practical and advantageous.
Who doesn’t like a stone floor? Those who think of the environmental impact, for instance, those who have to lay it, those who have to keep it clean...
Even those most skeptical about “stone effect” ceramic floors today struggle to tell the difference between natural and manmade.
The latest digital technologies perfectly mimic natural materials along with all their imperfections. Today, choosing slabs and tiles in porcelain stoneware as opposed to marble or stone detracts nothing from the finished look, while adding value to the project in terms of practicality of installation and maintenance. Considering products of the same thickness, tiles are also more durable. At the same time, they are easier to cut and install to professional standards. Porcelain stoneware is also the perfect choice for radiant heating systems. It is resistant to bacteria and mould, which have greater scope to proliferate on natural stone.
Lastly, not many people know that ceramic material is sustainable since it is 100% recyclable at the end of its life span.
