Margres floor and wall tiles: solutions for contemporary architecture
Margres stands out for its dedication to finding cutting-edge technical and decorative solutions. Thanks to an in-house product development team and research laboratories, each collection is the result of a perfect synthesis of technology, design, and performance.
Protect® technology, developed in collaboration with Microban®, offers permanent antibacterial protection based on silver ions integrated directly into the material. Active day and night, even in the absence of UV light, it guarantees hygiene, safety, and durability.
Margres' ventilated facade system, made with porcelain stoneware slabs, improves the thermal and acoustic insulation of buildings, ensuring energy savings, structural protection, and ease of maintenance. It is also ideal for redevelopment projects. Margres thick slabs offer maximum resistance to heavy loads, frost, thermal shock, mold, and chemicals. Easy to install both dry and with adhesives, they are the perfect solution for public and residential outdoor spaces: gardens, driveways, terraces, parking lots, and pool decks.
Margres cladding is compatible with external thermal insulation systems, improving the thermal inertia of the building and reducing energy loss in all seasons. The
slabs in the LINEA range combine performance and aesthetic refinement. The ideal solution for technical spaces, offices, and flexible environments.
Margres raised floors combine functionality and performance: they are resistant to moisture, heavy loads, and chemicals, and can be easily inspected, removed, and reused. Margres offers special pieces for the decoration and functionality of swimming pool areas, with non-slip surfaces that are resistant to chlorine and UV rays. The LINEA collection, in particular, is a hygienic, durable, and aesthetically coordinated choice.
