Technology

Achillea offers a mosaic of porcelain tiles that are only 4mm thick, combining an aesthetic quest of remarkable results with the typical technical characteristics of this product. Achillea mosaics are resistant to wear and breakage, are frostproof, and can also be used for flooring. The tiles are produced in multiple formats and joined in sheets measuring 31.6×31.6cm through the application of “glue points”, obtained automatically by a specific production line. The result is a sheet that is extremely practical, durable and easy to handle, and which, thanks to the reduced thickness of the tiles, makes assembly and composition easy even on curved surfaces.
