High-performance porcelain stoneware

Porcelain stoneware tiles are produced by pressing mixtures of light or coloured powders. “Through-body” porcelain stoneware tiles are made from pigmented powders: this means that the tiles are coloured throughout the entire thickness, not only on the surface, whether they are monochrome or imitate other materials. For example, in a wood-effect through-body porcelain stoneware tile, the typical veining of the natural material can be seen both on the outer surface and, imagining the tile dissected, inside.

Some of the Marazzi collections are made of high-performance technical porcelain stoneware, produced with the most advanced technologies, with single-loading and double-loading pressing. Technical stoneware has an even higher breaking strength than “standard” porcelain stoneware.

Highly resistant to stress, high-performance technical porcelain stoneware is perfect for heavy-traffic indoor and outdoor areas, such as those in business premises and public buildings. Technical porcelain stoneware can be used for both floor and wall coverings and is offered by Marazzi in all sizes: small, medium and large tiles.

One specific use of high-performance technical stoneware is for the outer cladding of ventilated walls: a perimeter covering system for buildings that guarantees very effective thermal and acoustic insulation. Technical porcelain stoneware slabs are tougher and lighter than materials such as stone or marble and, from an aesthetic point of view, allow you complete freedom to customize thanks to a wide range of colours and tactile finishes, such as wood, stone, terracotta and concrete effects.

Among the collections of high-performance technical porcelain stoneware, Marazzi also offers crystallized stoneware, made with an exclusive patented technology that makes the colours bright and especially deep.

In choosing technical porcelain stoneware, colors and finishes play a crucial role in achieving the desired effect in every environment. Marazzi offers a wide palette of colors for technical porcelain stoneware, ranging from neutral tones to the most vibrant.

Neutral tones such as gray, beige, and white are perfect for creating an elegant and versatile design, capable of adapting to any interior style. Conversely, vibrant tones can add personality and style to spaces, making them unique and inviting. Glossy finishes enhance the brightness of environments, making them visually larger and more modern, ideal for kitchens and bathrooms. Matte finishes, on the other hand, offer benefits in terms of resistance and maintenance, giving a more natural and relaxing look, perfect for living rooms and bedrooms.

Natural finishes, which mimic materials such as wood, stone, terracotta, and concrete, enhance the aesthetics of spaces, creating warm and welcoming atmospheres. For indoor spaces, different tones and finishes can be combined to achieve stunning effects in the kitchen, bathroom, and living room.

For outdoor spaces, technical porcelain stoneware is ideal for terraces and gardens, thanks to its resistance and durability, while offering refined aesthetics. Choose Marazzi technical porcelain stoneware to transform every space with style and functionality.
