from standard thicknesses of around

both the end user and the environment.
Minimal thickness ceramic offers a multitude
of possibilities as a material that is equally

easier to transport and handle on site.

mic tiles are also large format (300x100cm
Ultra-thin ceramic offers
nothing but benefits,
affording new potential
for architecture and
decorating.
