Ilva S.A., a leading Argentine tile manufacturer and exporter, has launched ECO Land, a fully-rectified technical porcelain tile series with a colored body. It is the first series launched from the firm’s new environmentally-friendly manufacturing facility.
ECO Land is composed of natural compounds, such as clays, sand and water, that are fired at high temperatures to create porcelain tiles recommended for exterior walls, interior walls and floors of both residential and commercial installations. To help protect our environment, 15 percent of materials used during Ilva’s technologically-superior manufacturing process are recycled.
ECO Land consists of seven colors to meet a wide range of commercial and residential applications: Deserts (white), Canyons (beige), Beaches (sand), Mountains (brown), Caves (gray), Vulcans (red) and Jungles (green). All colors are available in three textures: polished, unpolished and textured, and every tile is coated with a subtle sheen that is sprayed on the tile before firing, known as the Ilva-Clean feature. Ilva-Clean closes surface pores to produce a permanent finish that enhances color and maintains the surface’s appearance, even between routine maintenance sessions.
With this new series, Ilva addresses market demand with larger formats, more options for combination and special pieces, offering large commercial and residential surfaces a contemporary color palette and aesthetic look. ECO Land’s sizes adapt to each particular need in the market, starting with large format 24” x 24” and 12” x 24” sizes, through 12” x 12”, 6” x 6” and 6” x 24” sizes. The series is complemented with a full range of specialty pieces, including mosaics, listellos, trims and cove bases.
