The LAVA collection undergoes a long and meticulous manufacturing process, resulting in a product that excels in both technical performance and unique aesthetic appeal. The klinker from the LAVA collection stands out not only for its durability but also for its rich, noble color, reminiscent of fine wines. Its natural shade variations, with burgundy and metallic tones, evoke the richness of the earth's core, as its name suggests.
LAVA is a high-quality klinker, made from clay rich in oxides and sourced from quarries near the production plant. These clays are carefully selected to preserve the natural tones of the collection. During the manufacturing process, the extruded ceramic mixture is fired at high temperatures (1,360º C) in complex atmospheres in intermittent kilns, ensuring a klinker of superior quality and high durability.
Among its most notable technical features, LAVA demonstrates excellent performance under extreme weather conditions. It is highly resistant to frost, withstanding temperatures as low as –40º C, and remains unaffected by sudden thermal changes. Thanks to these qualities, LAVA gres is a safe and reliable choice for outdoor flooring in regions with harsh climates.
The natural extruded stoneware of the LAVA collection features a slip-resistant structure, making it particularly suitable for use on terraces and areas near pools. In these spaces, where high humidity levels and steep slopes come together, LAVA tiles provide excellent safety, ensuring walkable surfaces without the risk of slipping. Additionally, this stoneware offers high resistance to aggressive chemicals, which is essential for ensuring durability in environments exposed to external agents.
Along with its non-slip properties, LAVA demonstrates excellent performance against abrasion, compression, and impact. These top technical characteristics make it an ideal choice for both domestic projects and public spaces, where a durable and resilient material is required for intensive use.
The intrinsic texture and shade variation of the LAVA collection create a unique material in the realm of natural extruded stoneware. Its aesthetic character, combined with exceptional technical properties, makes the LAVA collection an ideal choice for those seeking a ceramic that blends design, safety, and durability, suitable for any space and climate.
