Bioxide Tile: A Roof Tile Revolution

Introducing Bioxide Tile: The Future of Roofing

Bioxide Tile, designed by Ettore Giordano, is a groundbreaking innovation in the world of roof tiles. With its unique composition and advanced technology, this tile offers unparalleled durability, aesthetic appeal, and resistance to natural elements.

Bioxide Tile is not your ordinary roof tile. It incorporates Hematite, an iron mineral, in its composition, making it twice as strong as traditional tiles. Unlike regular tiles, Bioxide Tile eliminates unwanted minerals such as calcite, which can cause structural issues and reduce the lifespan of the tile. This absence of calcite ensures a longer lifespan for Bioxide Tile, making it a superior choice for any roofing project.

One of the key features of Bioxide Tile is its exceptional technical properties. It boasts high frost resistance, improved water isolation, enhanced noise isolation, and superior heat isolation. The increased Hematite content gives the tile a darker color and a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. Compared to tiles made from traditional raw materials, Bioxide Tile is more resistant to natural conditions, ensuring longevity and beauty for years to come.

So how is Bioxide Tile made? The production process involves sintering the tile at higher temperatures compared to traditional raw materials. This results in a tile with superior physical properties, including less water absorption, higher pressure resistance, increased thermal shock resistance, and enhanced surface stiffness. The specifications of Bioxide Tile are as follows: Width 230 mm x Depth 50 mm x Height 410 mm.

The Bioxide Tile project was a collaboration between Ettore Giordano and the ECE Holding design center. The research and development phase started in Milan in August 2014 and concluded in Corum, Turkey, in January 2015. The close cooperation between the designer and the company allowed for the creation of a roof tile that excels both functionally and aesthetically.

Bioxide Tile has received widespread recognition for its innovation and design. It was awarded the prestigious Iron A' Design Award in the Building Materials and Construction Components category in 2015. This award is given to designs that demonstrate exceptional practicality, innovation, and adherence to industry standards. Bioxide Tile truly represents a step forward in the world of roofing materials.

With its unmatched durability, aesthetic appeal, and resistance to natural elements, Bioxide Tile is revolutionizing the roofing industry. Say goodbye to traditional roof tiles and embrace the future with Bioxide Tile.
