Porcelain stoneware stands out for its versatility, durability, and technical features. In addition, its wide range of formats (even large 60x120 cm, 120x120 cm, 120x240 cm, 120x278 cm, and 160x320 cm ones), thicknesses (6, 10, and 12 mm), and finishes have expanded its use beyond floors and walls and turned it into an essential material for interior design.
Casalgrande Padana porcelain stoneware is perfect for tiling tables, coffee tables, kitchen and bathroom countertops, shower trays, washbasins, shelves and wall units, cabinetry, doors, worktops, partition walls, accent walls, bookcases, fireplaces, garden furnishings, and more. Moreover, the vast array of tile collections replicating the effects of concrete, wood, marble, metal, and stone allows for infinite creative possibilities, ensuring aesthetic harmony and textural continuity throughout the home.
Casalgrande Padana’s porcelain stoneware tiles fit into any design style and can be arranged in any layout, allowing you to create bespoke furnishings and aesthetic continuity between your walls and floors.
Casalgrande Padana porcelain stoneware tiles are made solely with natural raw materials, without paint, plastic or harmful substances. As a result, they are environmentally sustainable and fully recyclable. In addition, these tiles are non-absorbent, fire-resistant, and stain-resistant. They withstand flexure and temperature fluctuations and never warp, remaining unchanged over time. They are also easy to clean. In addition, these tiles can be treated with the Bios Antibacterial® technology (available upon request), which helps reduce the four main bacterial strains and combat odours, mould, yeasts, and fungi.
Casalgrande Padana’s commitment to sustainability
Casalgrande Padana uses the best technology to be innovative and environmentally and socially sustainable. The company has always been environmentally conscious and committed to reducing its footprint. That’s why it focuses on circular economy to cut waste, energy, and water consumption and implements certified process and environmental management policies (ISO 14001, EMAS). It also complies with the most stringent international sustainability standards, such as the UN’s 2030 agenda. Casalgrande Padana’s porcelain stoneware tiles are made through a closed-cycle manufacturing process in which sophisticated anti-pollution equipment allows all the components to be recycled and reused with substantially zero emissions or dispersions. This way, 100% of raw waste is reused, 100% of water is treated and reused, 90% of electricity is self-produced, and 99.5% of waste is recovered. This environmental policy is also implemented through green procurement criteria, which means selecting sustainable suppliers and reducing the environmental impact of the company’s activities and products. Moreover, Casalgrande Padana strives to continuously improve its products and develop innovative technologies and solutions for architecture and interior design. It’s no coincidence that it was among the first to introduce patented antibacterial treatments already in the ‘00s with Bios Antibacterial®, Bios Self-Cleaning®based on the Hydrotect technology. It was also among the first to manufacture a material that promoted the mobility and inclusion of blind people with Tactile.
