RAK SANIT
The antibacterial revolution

RAK-Sanit is a complete solution that includes porcelain and ceramic tile collections that reduce bacterial contamination and contribute to a healthier living and working environment owing to its antibacterial properties given by silver nitrate compounds. RAK-Sanit antibacterial collection of wall and floor tiles features antibacterial technology that is permanently integrated into the tile surface. Once bacteria come into contact with the tiled surface, the silver ions initiate the elimination cycle. Silver ions in the antibacterial tile surface bind to enzymes, proteins, cell membranes, and the DNA of the microbe to damage DNA and block reproduction, resulting in the death of the organisms.

KLIMA
Heat adaptive technology
on porcelain tiles

Klima is a new-generation ceramic tile that can absorb and repel heat according to individual needs, thanks to the special materials used during production. When applied to indoor flooring, Klima retains room heat and releases it o ver the entire surface, producing a warmer feel than a standard floor.
When installed on outdoor flooring, Klima repels the heat from sunlight, resisting high temperatures. As a result, even with significant sun exposure, the surface is not burning hot , and the floor remains cool and pleasant to walk on with bare feet. On ventilated façades, Klima helps limit heat dispersion while maintaining a steady indoor temperature.
Klima tiles are suitable for indoor and outdoor applications, for flooring or external walls, to achieve maximum comfort with minimum energy impact.
