The 35th International Exhibition of Ceramic Tile and Bathroom Furnishings will be hosting the sixth edition of Cersaie Designs Your Home in the Media Village (Services Centre) on Thursday 28 and Friday 29 September.

The increasingly high levels of aesthetic and functional performance of porcelain tile are once again grabbing attention at this year’s Cersaie.

Part of a growing trend, wood-look ceramic tile offers many advantages over traditional parquet flooring but without losing the warm, welcoming look of the original material.

Underfloor heating – also known as in-floor heating or radiant floor heating – is often considered a very recent innovation, but as some people may remember it was already in use in the period between the 1950s and 1970s.

The vast numbers of installations successfully completed in residential, public and industrial spaces demonstrate that ceramic tiling is ideal for many different areas of use. To achieve the highest levels of quality, it is essential for tiling to be designed and executed in accordance with standards.

Ceramicland is putting forward a new vision for the ceramic cluster. This manufacturing hub has evolved over the years and now operates in a globalised world. And it is precisely in this new world that Ceramicland aims to fulfil its potential.

“Made in Italy” is much more than an indication of geographical origin. It enshrines for a set of values recognised the world over, including quality, transparency, leadership in design, innovation and environmental sustainability

Intense, desaturated colours, soft touch surfaces, visually striking washbasins with rounded, organic shapes: the latest bathroom furnishing trends draw on elements inspired by the natural world to create a relaxing, homely atmosphere. Without forgetting the technology that discreetly underpins every function.

With market statistics suggesting that the worst of the storm is over, Italian companies can congratulate themselves on their hard work and above all their determination to remain true to their nature.

Once again this year Cersaie is showcasing tile collections produced by companies from all over the world, and once again “made in Italy” is enjoying the lion’s share, offering a parade of creativity and technology that never ceases to amaze – even in a market that has become accustomed to the extraordinary quality of Italian products.
