Technology translates into differentiation

At Cersaie, Esmalglass-Itaca will showcase the innovation, excellence and forward-looking vision that underpin its position at the forefront of ceramic innovation.

Solutions presented under the Stay Ahead tagline illustrate how applied technology can translate into greater differentiation, competitiveness and tangible benefits for customers in an increasingly demanding market.  These solutions will be presented at Cersaie in a striking exhibition space featuring six elevated, aligned cubes, each dedicated to one of the six innovations on display.

Diamond Pro is a material designed to create ultra-matt surfaces with outstanding aesthetic appeal, characterised by extremely low gloss levels, high transparency, and an exceptionally soft tactile feel. Designed to deliver high levels of performance, it also stands out for its excellent durability and slip resistance, combining technical characteristics with a refined visual and tactile experience. 

Silk Diamond is an advanced finish that reinterprets the look of traditional matt-honed surfaces, creating a sophisticated visual effect without the need for mechanical honing.

DigitalGlass is a range of water-based digital glazes applied using inkjet technology and formulated without organic solvents. Compared with conventional glazes, they can lower water consumption up to tenfold, reduce odours and organic emissions from kiln flues and cut waste by up to 40%.

PrismaTech creates three-dimensional crystalline effects that bring a new level of sophistication to ceramic surfaces. Crystal encapsulation ensures high technical performance and excellent durability in both selective and full-surface applications. The solution is available in two versions: PrismaTech Clear, a neutral transparent formulation, and PrismaTech White.

Glow transforms ceramic tile surfaces through a gently undulating finish that recreates the appearance of resin. Rather than reflecting light directly, the finish allows light to play gently across the undulations, creating a subtle, elegant and natural sheen. The use of digital technology also allows for precise control over gloss and matt areas, creating highly distinctive customised aesthetic effects.

Lustrato by Esmalglas-Itaca

Lustrato is an aesthetic and technical solution developed for brick-format wall tiles that uses advanced digital technologies to recreate the appeal of classic ceramic finishes. It uses contemporary technology to reproduce the brilliance and lustre of historic glazes, thereby capturing the essence of traditional ceramics. The combination of a glossy surface and crackle effect gives the material a distinctive vintage look that is particularly effective on wall tiles and elongated formats.

About diaryofatileaddict

I have been writing about the tile industry for more than 25 years. I have started this blog to share some of my knowledge of, and enthusiasm for, ceramic tiles. I also wanted to shine a light on the work of some of the artists, architects and designers around the world who work with ceramic tiles. I was the Founding Editor of Tile UK, and I am currently the Editor of three tile-related publications in the UK: Tile & Stone Journal, The Specifier’s Guide to Ceramic Tile & Calibrated Natural Stone; and TDY: Tile Design Yearbook. I am also International Correspondent for Tile Today and Discovering Stone, both published in Australia. My aim with Diary of a Tile Addict is to introduce tile enthusiasts to developments in tile design, significant architectural and interior design projects that get the best out of tiles, technological developments that are driving the ceramic tile sector forward, and breaking news from tile exhibitions around the world. I will also introduce readers to some of the talented and inspiring individuals who help make the ceramic tile world so creatively diverse, technically advanced and intellectually fascinating.
