Innovative materials that serve the needs of human beings, while fully respecting and protecting the environment.
Fiandre Architectural Surfaces, a brand of Iris Ceramica Group, expresses a culture that underlines the importance of ceramics as one of the noblest materials in nature, which has accompanied mankind since the discovery of fire through every evolution in the geological eras that have followed. Ceramics are capable of expressing an authentic and original beauty, and at the same time have intrinsic technical features that make them the most highly performing material in the world.
The materials we choose for architectural and interior decoration projects must therefore guarantee maximum well-being, protecting our health in a simple, lasting way. ACTIVE SURFACES are cutting-edge ceramic materials that feature unique technical properties while being aesthetically beautiful, thus meeting the need for both well-being and safety.
Through close collaboration with the Chemistry Department of the University of Milan, research studies on ACTIVE SURFACES have been conducted from the outset, also with a view to constant scientific validation. ACTIVE SURFACES eliminate pollutants and microbial agents (viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, bacteria, fungi and mould), as well as bad odours. They are also highly self-cleaning surfaces.
