The IQONIQA Collection is crafted with an emphasis on nature-inspired aesthetics, drawing on lush floral and organic patterns to create a unique visual experience. Alongside these stunning wall tiles, the series also includes coordinating warm silk floor tiles that seamlessly blend with the natural decor, making it easy for specifiers to create cohesive and inviting interiors.
Nature meets modern technology
Iqoniqa offers more than just beauty; it combines natural textures and innovative design, allowing designers to craft highly original spaces with a distinctive, earthy feel. Each tile in this range has been meticulously designed to echo the colours and textures found in nature, yet they are practical enough for a variety of applications.
What truly sets the Iqoniqa range apart is its eco-friendly features and incorporation of Microban antimicrobial technology. This advanced coating ensures that surfaces stay hygienic, making it an ideal choice for environments where cleanliness is paramount, such as homes with babies and children, healthcare settings, and aged care facilities. Working in the background, Microban also benefits environments where regular cleaning may not be possible.
What is Microban?
Microban technology provides an antimicrobial shield that is built into the ceramic surface, preventing up to 99.9% of bacterial growth. It creates a safer, cleaner environment by inhibiting microbial buildup and ensuring that surfaces remain cleaner between regular cleans. For high-traffic areas or spaces where hygiene is crucial, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and public spaces, Microban makes Iqoniqa tiles a highly appealing option for specifiers.
The importance of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs*)
The Iqoniqa range isn’t alone in its commitment to sustainability. Other Architectural Surfaces ranges, including Raku, Lume, Zellige, and Marmi Classici, offer tiles that come with Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs).
An EPD is an independently verified document that details the environmental impact of a product across its life cycle. This certification considers aspects such as raw material extraction, manufacturing, transportation, installation, and disposal. It’s essential for projects aiming to meet sustainability standards and aligns with the growing demand for transparency and accountability in material sourcing and production. While these tiles don’t incorporate microbial coating, they are designed for long-lasting use and eco-friendliness. EPD certificates are independently verified and suppliers must fully comply to reach the standards.
Recommended ranges for specifiers
