Cersaie 2025 provided the stage for VitrA Tiles to unveil an exhibition designed as a sensory experience. Featuring four carefully curated areas, the stand welcomed architects, designers and clients to explore new frontiers in ceramic technology, creative applications and sustainable materials.
The major reveal was V-Tone, a cutting-edge Tonalite innovation that tackles one of the sector’s most pressing issues: shade inconsistencies between batches. V-Tone delivers exceptional chromatic accuracy, keeping colours true to the original specification and improving project coherence. The first V-Tone investments will start in March 2026, with complete deployment across all production lines planned for the end of that year.
With V-Tone, the hundreds of shade variations once possible in a single product are now reduced to just up to three. This breakthrough eliminates issues of inconsistent colors, mismatched reorders, and the challenge of reproducing the same shade over time. Guaranteeing consistent tones across production batches and formats, V-Tone establishes a new benchmark of chromatic uniformity, delivering unmatched flexibility and reliability in ceramic design.
In addiction highlights had include TileScape, an app that suggests the most suitable VitrA Tiles product from a single photo. Also featured are VitrA Tiles’ life solutions, V-Shape and V-Hygiene, for maximum visual performance and cleanliness, and the Easy Tiling function, which makes tile installation up to seven times faster.
However, the “100% Recycled Porcelain Tile” project is the most significant new development from VitrA Tiles at Cersaie 2025. With a tile made from 100% recycled material, VitrA is rewriting the rules of production and marking a pioneering initiative for the circular economy and energy sustainability.
In an initiative that redefines ceramic industry standards, VitrA Tiles announces the launch of “100% Recycled Porcelain Tile “, a new tile produced entirely from waste materials. This project, born from VitrA’s internal know-how, represents a “world premiere”, demonstrating how waste can be transformed into a high-quality product without compromising technical performance or aesthetics.
The innovation is based on an exclusive recipe, successfully implemented across various collections, which utilizes 100% production waste, promoting a virtuous circular economy cycle. The use of these materials not only contributes to a more sustainable management of waste, but also generates a significant positive environmental impact, reducing reliance on virgin raw materials and the overall carbon footprint.
The “100% Recycled Porcelain Tile” project also excels in terms of energy efficiency. The new formula has reduced production times, leading to significant savings in both electricity and natural gas. Typically, products made with waste materials compromise final quality characteristics, while the 100% waste-based tile developed by VitrA Tiles fully meets all national and international technical product standards.
This innovative approach simplifies production processes and confirms VitrA Tiles’ commitment to sustainable production, integrating research and development with operational efficiency.
