The collaboration between Armani Group and Roca is a unique project in its own way. The two companies, world leaders in their respective areas of expertise, have come together with a common desire to take advantage of their combined experience and talent to create a concept for a cozy and elegant bathroom. The Roca-Armani showroom was presented in Russia at Mosbuild 2013. The project is a complete solution for bathroom interior design, which includes not only furniture and sanitary ware, but also lighting and ceramic wall and floor coverings.
Buying tiles from Armani is not a cheap pleasure, although for true connoisseurs of the great couturier’s work, this is not a problem! A list of official Roca-Armani dealers in Russia can be found at the link .

water absorption; molding method; surface treatment method (glazed - unglazed); surface hardness; abrasion resistance; frost resistance; slip resistance on dry and wet surfaces.
In the above list of criteria for choosing ceramic tiles, I did not find a characteristic related to the tile’s resistance to household chemicals and other chemical agents. In production lines (oil and fat factories), service workshops, car washes, canteens and kitchens, difficult operating conditions for coated surfaces are encountered. Perhaps this criterion has its own special name, but, in my opinion, it should be in the list of criteria.
Agatha de la Prada creates the most vibrant and slightly crazy collections! I was lucky enough to see her live at a show in Moscow. A woman with incredible energy)))) A real Spaniard! I am very pleased with the fact that her things can now be easily purchased in Russia; many online stores sell them. And the “Agatha” tiles from Pamesa are simply fantastic!!! There was a rumor that it was discontinued last year, does anyone know if it's true? :(((
I suggest first reading the article entitled “Abrasion Resistance, Wear Resistance,” which is presented on the website. This short article discusses methods for testing the abrasion resistance of unglazed and glazed tiles and provides relevant standards. Wear resistance classes are given for glazed tiles. I think this will be a detailed answer.
Thank you, the information in the article is detailed and accessible. I hadn't seen her before. It turned out that I asked a question, and this led to the appearance of an article on the site, nice.
I am also inclined to believe that tiles and ceramic tiles are perceived today as synonyms. However, in advertising and when searching the Internet, the second term is more often used.
Regarding Peter I, I can say the following. During a visit to Holland in 1697-1698, he drew attention to the beautiful “tiles” made in a style that is familiar to us, namely, the masters of Gzhel. So, after his return, he ordered the production of smooth white tiles, painting them with blue glaze. This led to a new direction in tiled art.
Regarding the profession of tiler, I am wondering what types of work can be performed by a master with a qualification level from 2 to 5?
Denis , thank you very much for your detailed answer. I admit that from the first reading much was not clear, but after reading it three or four times, understanding came. It’s good that this material will be saved on the forum; you can return to it, if necessary.
Explain how to use this criterion. After all, the seller’s answer “The tiles are abrasion resistant” will always be the same. Although I believe that abrasion resistance is different for a home or office space. How is it measured, and what values should it be if you are supposed to walk barefoot, in soft shoes, or in street shoes?
Foreman Behemoth , I will try to describe my situation in detail: 1. The tiles will only be on the floor. 2. Stairs on the street, but I would like the floor and steps to be made in the same color. 3. Gray tiles (speckled), 30x30, some tiles are broken. 4. The price is preferably no higher than 2000 rubles. 5. More than 100 people a day, I hope after the renovation there will be even more visitors :) 6. Carts move around the store and there are very heavy shelves.

Can you write in more detail what pressure is in atmospheres and bars? How many atmospheres are there in 1 bar? I do not understand.
Grishin Mikhail , I am very unhappy with the tile, first of all its appearance. I want it to be beautiful and not have to be redone.
Foreman Behemoth , I believe there will be even more beautiful options. Thanks, I'll wait.
