Laufen has a magnificent selection of porcelain tiles available. Laufen’s variety of ceramic products is seemingly endless. With more than 50 categories of wall, floor and decorative tiles, they are certain to have something to satisfy the most discriminating taste. If you’re looking for that natural stone look but with more durability-check out Laufen’s new porcelain tiles, Stone evolution. While the product might resemble natural stone in appearance, Stone Evolution is superior in many ways. Compared to natural stone, it is less porous, has greater hardness and mechanical resistance and has greater resistance to staining and freezing. It is a perfect marriage of strength and beauty—a product that is ideal for both commercial and residential applications.   Laufen is a leader in manufacturing, distributing and marketing high-quality ceramic and porcelain tile. The company was founded on July 4, 1892, with the construction of a brick factory in Basel, Switzerland. Today, Laufen continues to build on its rich history of European design and cutting-edge technology. Laufen’s superior technology is evident in its double-pressed porcelain product called Stone Evolution, which replicates the look of natural stone. Typical ceramic tile is pressed, glazed and then sent to the kiln. With Stone Evolution, the tile is pressed, glazed and then pressed for a second time before going to the kiln. The second press not only produces the appearance of natural stone, but it also seals the surface. As a result, the porcelain has lower water absorption. |
