A valid mental exercise to choose the flooring for a shopping center is to visualize how many thousands of people come in & out in a single day, considering that the floorings are fixed installations and for how long they have to perform that function without giving any hint of failure. It will display an enormity of steps and activities of various kinds to which that floor will have to stand up.

The flooring of a shopping center or a simple shop must have a high resistance to wear and to accidental impacts, it must be non-slip, abrasion resistant, fire resistant, waterproof, easy and quick to clean. Cipa Gres full body porcelain stoneware (ISO 13006 EN 14411 Group B1a UGL) is the most suitable solution for floorings subject to this type of stress (concentrated loads, high traffic of people and hand forklifts, exceptional loads, etc.). Below we list some features that will guide the user to an informed choice:

It is made up of a single homogeneous mass that makes it much more resistant than any other type of material that can be used for paving (mass colored stoneware, granite, marble, metal and many others). Foot traffic usury (thousands of users who often arrive directly from the road with dirty sand soles) and accidental blows. To this, and much more, UGL products resist.
