Advantages of the red paste body and 10x20 cm format

Carefully crafted on a high-quality red-body base, the Etnia series is specifically designed for vertical wall cladding in interior spaces. Its practical 10x20 cm rectangular format is very easy to handle during installation, facilitating quick and flawless tiling even on small surfaces or in awkward corners.

The glossy glaze effectively protects the surface against everyday dirt and greatly simplifies maintenance and cleaning tasks. Its low porosity prevents the absorption of liquids or common household stains, ensuring flawless and long-lasting walls. Choosing this collection guarantees a durable wall covering that retains its shine and colour vibrancy year after year.

Key technical features of this collection include:

• High-strength red-body clay body formulated for interior walls.
• A compact 10x20 cm format that optimises installation and finishing times.
• A glossy, glazed surface that is highly hygienic and easy to clean with water or neutral soap.
• Excellent dimensional accuracy to ensure fine, aligned installation joints.
