FINECERAMIC® – A New Material Creating Durable Ceramic Basins

The design of bathrooms is changing like never before.

Harmoniously combining all the elements of a room into an overall ensemble is often the goal of anyone working on a design scheme. Achieving that stylish, impeccably coordinated look is no easy task – it requires pieces with subtle shapes, elegance, and lightness, to work together as a whole.

The commitment to research and innovation has led Roca to create a new compact material for ceramic bathroom basins, with extraordinary lightness and performance. A technology that allows sophisticated design details and shapes which were previously unimaginable in standard ceramics, Fineceramic® has transformed the possibilities of bathroom design without compromising on durability.

STRENGTH AND PRECISION

The addition of the mineral corundum to the basic ceramic mixture has resulted in a material that is exceptionally hard, with up to 30% greater tensile strength compared to most standard fired ceramics. Due to the increased strength, it is possible to create very delicate, thin-walled shapes (only 5 mm thick!) with soft and uniform internal surfaces – turning ceramic basins into sculptural pieces.

REMARKABLE LIGHTNESS

Thanks to the thin walls of the basin, the overall weight is reduced, as much less raw material is used. Combining lightness and strength, Fineceramic® enables us to create products that are 40% lighter whilst retaining the benefits of using a material which is 100% ceramic.

DURABILITY

Perhaps the most important piece in a bathroom design, the basin also has to endure intensive use in our everyday life. The durability and smoothness of Fineceramic® make their surface resistant to abrasive cleaning products, hygienic and very easy to maintain and clean – perfect for a busy, yet stylish, bathroom.
