Wellness & SPA
Water, thermal or otherwise, is the focus of attention in the design of areas dedicated to wellness, health, or simply relaxation.
Ancient ceramics were used to waterproof wet surfaces and walkways.
Nowadays, stoneware is the most suitable material for this type of application, as it meets both functional and aesthetic needs. Ceramics offer refined, intimate environments, easy to maintain and safe for the user with regard to hygiene.
In all cases, the design choice of the surface is essential. The important themes for the choice of surfaces are attributable to a mix of technical and aesthetic aspects: resistance to thermal or disinfectant substances, design for water management, need to ensure pleasant tactile sensations and correct selection of surface performances. 
In the case of walls in wet environments, it is necessary to provide an adequate waterproofing system to avoid water infiltrations.
With respect to floorings, it is important to ensure anti-slip performance based on the type of intended use and environment, with distinction between barefoot and shod areas, and between wet and dry areas. The choice of materials and their installation must follow precise technical standards.
Among the wide range of solutions, you can find flooring and coverings for wet rooms and showers, water-resistant and anti-slip materials for pedestrian paths, internal linings for tubs, grilles to manage water flow and customised elements for tub edge finishing. All these applications are designed to ensure utmost comfort and well-being of visitors.
