DryTech set to appear at Tecna

Following its preview at Milan’s Fuorisalone, Surfaces Group is taking DryTech to TECNA 2026. The new dry process, developed in collaboration with BMR, is claimed to redefine efficiency in the processing of ceramic surfaces, combining sustainability, quality, and performance.

Alongside DryTech, Surfaces Group will also be presenting UltraMatt, a surface treatment designed to achieve ultra-matt finishes of high aesthetic value. Surfaces Group will also be presenting ProTech+, the treatment that protects technical stoneware; EcoTech, the copper-free grinding wheel for more sustainable production; DampTech, designed to reduce vibration and improve squaring quality; and PowerClean, the professional range for cleaning and protecting surfaces.

DryTech stems from an advanced approach to surfaces: a process designed to optimise industrial performance, reduce energy consumption and ensure consistent, controlled quality over time. Eliminating water and optimizing production cycles is said to deliver significant energy savings, reduce waste, and improve overall line efficiency.

But DryTech is not just about efficiency; it is also about aesthetic research. The technology enables the creation of material with deep and coherent surfaces, capable of interpreting matter through a contemporary language, where aesthetics and technology interact seamlessly. The result is a balance between technical performance and design value, where every detail contributes to defining a new visual and tactile experience.

At Fuorisalone 2026, Surfaces Group only revealed DryTech’s final result while intentionally keeping the process behind it undisclosed. The full unveiling of this technology is scheduled for Tecna 2026. This exhibition will take place between 22nd and 25th September 2026 at the Rimini Expo Centre, Italy.

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.
