Kerlite
Kerlite | Tile Solutions Wall & Floor Tiles
A ceramic product that is totally sustainable, all in a thickness of only 3 mm. The extremely thin structure, (available in extra large sizes which were inconceivable until recently) and perfect flatness are obtained by an exclusive production technology, which offers this ultrathin slab a high degree of elasticity and an unequalled resistance.
Its thin profile means Kerlite can be installed directly over existing wall or floor coverings (wood, tiles, cement or ceramics) saving time and money.
Kerlite resists frost and does not absorb odours or liquids. It’s easy to clean and is lighter than ceramic tiles and conventional ceramics. Architects and designers have chosen it to create highly original solutions all over the world. Kerlite, also available in the Plus version.
