FLOOR TILES

HOW ARE THEY MADE?

Preparation of materials

There are two stages in the preparation of the paste: mixing and atomization. Sophisticated hi-tech mixing plant ensures perfect molecular homogeneity and excellent results in terms of quality and resilience.

Careful selection

All raw materials – powdered quartz, feldspar, kaolin, sand, good quality clays and other natural substances are all subjected to a rigorous selection process in the laboratories.

Pressing

High-pressure moulding ensures proper compactness of materials, while special presses give DuratecStone the exact shape and dimensions required, brand new production facilities ensure excellent performance in terms of precision dimensions, flatness and absorption.

Firing

Firing at a temperature of 1250°C ensures a tough, resilient product which is resistant to attack from atmospheric agents, frost, deformation and breakage. The end result is a product with an even chromatic finish and precise dimensions.

Post-firing quality control

All DuratecStones are subjected to rigorous electronic and mechanical testing before automatic palletization and packaging.
