Gresite is a building material used for wall and floor coverings (non-slip), and its name derives from stoneware tiles when they come in small sizes, ranging from approximately 2×2 cm to 4×4 cm, known as tesserae.
These pieces, the tesserae, are joined in different ways:
- With paper. In this case, the paper is glued to the front of the gresite, covering the colour of the material itself. This paper is removed a few days after installation simply by wetting it. It is a stiff paper that maintains the spacing between the tesserae.
- With fibreglass mesh. This mesh is glued to the back of the tesserae and holds them together, although it provides greater rigidity than the paper. As this mesh is on the back, you can see how you are positioning the pieces and it allows you to arrange them to your liking.
- With silicone dots. All the tiles are firmly bonded to one another with silicone dots on the back, which form part of the joint.
