New Water-based Technology
Iris Ceramica Group has introduced a revolutionary water-based technology that advances sustainable ceramic production with exceptional aesthetic precision and performance for contemporary architecture and design.
Pioneers from the beginning, Iris Ceramica Group has made sustainable innovation the cornerstone of its technological research. The group designs, develops and produces high-performance surfaces and solutions for architecture, interiors and furniture design, combining aesthetic excellence with respect for the environment.
Driven by an ongoing mission to re-engineer ceramics, the Italian company continuously invests in research and development aimed at rethinking both materials and production processes. Now, this commitment takes another step forward with the introduction of a revolutionary water-based technology, developed for application on high-end ceramic surfaces. New to ceramic surface production, it unites environmental responsibility with uncompromising aesthetic quality.
The adoption of water-based technology required a comprehensive rethinking of production systems. Every stage has been optimised to preserve the same aesthetic refinement and technical excellence that define the group’s brands. The integration of these new water-based materials with advanced digital printing technologies also ensures exceptional precision, stability and image definition while reducing environmental impact.
The new ESG-oriented technology enhances the expressive potential of ceramics by amplifying texture, colour and dimension.
The new ESG-oriented technology enhances the expressive potential of ceramics by amplifying their texture, color, and dimension. It also offers architects and designers fresh possibilities for composition and material storytelling.
Already implemented across the latest collections by Ariostea, Fiandre, FMG and Sapienstone, the technology operates on two newly developed production lines dedicated respectively to decoration and structural surface creation. Available in six-, 12- and 20-millimetre thicknesses, these materials embody a new standard of performance and sustainability.
Poised for future expansion, this project marks a tangible step toward a more sustainable model of production.
Poised for future expansion, this project marks a tangible step toward a more sustainable model of production. For Iris Ceramica Group, sustainability is a guiding design principle and a continuous process of re-engineering how beauty, function and responsibility coexist. The introduction of water-based technology is not the conclusion of that journey, but the next step in rethinking ceramics for contemporary architecture and design.
