GranitiFiandre Active: the future of sustainable surfaces

Human wellbeing plays a key role in the design of today’s interiors. 
Today’s new materials technologies make it easy for architects and designers to create stimulating, comfortable spaces, express themselves and underline all aspects linked with the senses of sight and touch, and more.
Air quality and easy to clean surfaces, for instance, ensure the hygiene of floor and wall coverings that is essential for psychological and physical wellbeing, especially in public places such as schools, hotels, hospitals, restaurants and gyms.

In pursuing its mission of environmental sustainability, GranitiFiandre has created vast collections of porcelain tiles treated with Active Clean Air & Antibacterial Ceramic™, an innovative method intended to create anti-bacterial and anti-pollutant floors and walls.
Active may be used to make the air clean and healthful in the home and ensure the comfort of guests, visitors and customers in commercial spaces and public places of all kinds.

Active technology is based on titanium dioxide (TiO2). Fixed onto porcelain tiles at high temperatures, Active begins the process of photocatalysis (responsible for the anti-pollutant and bactericidal action) upon simple exposure to natural or artificial light.
All through a "new, sophisticated, exclusive production method, which is itself ecological, perfected by GranitiFiandre" which excludes all potential risks to the health of humans and the environment, as demonstrated by university tests conducted on outdoor and indoor tiles and numerous ISO certifications.

The process remains constant over time and can reduce by up to 70% pollutants such as nitrogen oxide and sulphur which are "generated by activities associated with irresponsible industrialization as well as other sources such as heating and air conditioning systems, cigarette smoke, odours, ammonia, sulphur dioxide, benzene and ethanol".

By reducing dirt, porcelain tiles become “self-cleaning”, with the positive result of reducing consumption of cleaning products while improving indoor air quality.

ACTIVE porcelain tiles for outdoor use offer the added bonus of using photocatalysis to prevent smog from sticking to tiles, ensuring the easy cleaning everyone wants these days. Rain or water alone, without any cleaning products, is sufficient to eliminate all residual dirt.
