Product Description and Technology

The product is manufactured using extremely high-purity minerals fused at high temperatures through an innovative production process. This results in exceptional technical, surface, and aesthetic qualities. The entire manufacturing process employs Full Digital technology, ensuring precise design control, outstanding definition, and an unmatched smooth texture. The design integrates both interior and exterior surfaces with a 360º approach to maintain visual continuity between the body and surface. The textures, colors, and finishes are crafted to stimulate the senses and inspire creativity, distinguishing the product as one that captivates users.

Collections - Rift Series

The Rift collection is inspired by natural stones, specifically travertine finishes known for their high aesthetic value. Rift updates the traditional travertine surface by preserving its characteristic veins and natural stone structure while introducing a new color concept that provides a unique and exclusive beauty. The collection includes various formats and sizes, primarily in natural white tones, with detailed packaging and weight specifications. Products are available in formats such as 100 x 250 cm and 100 x 100 cm, with packing details provided for full pallet sales and additional charges for smaller quantities.

Complementary Pieces

• Skirting tiles (9.5 x 100 cm)
• Rounded-edge step tiles (100 x 100 cm)
• Mitred-edge technical step tiles (standard and metallic versions)

Special products under the INALCO SSC label are manufactured and sold on demand with prior budgeting.
