Active Surfaces®

Active Surfaces® is the eco-active ceramic surface of Iris Ceramica Group, a 100% Italian patented technology born in 2009 that turns porcelain slabs into materials able to act on the environment rather than cover it. The group, headquartered in Fiorano Modenese with production sites in Italy, Germany and the United States, presents ceramics as one of the most sustainable materials.

It is based on photocatalysis, developed with the Department of Chemistry of the University of Milan, and gives the surfaces four actions: antibacterial and antiviral, anti-pollution, anti-odour and self-cleaning. Active Surfaces® slabs are proposed for public spaces, healthcare facilities, residential interiors, spas, commercial areas, hospitality and workplaces, and have been used in the historic markets of San Lorenzo and Sant’Ambrogio in Florence.
