Gres Aragón: Leading Ceramic Tile Solutions for Modern Architecture

In modern architecture, the choice of materials plays a crucial role in meeting the multifaceted demands of functionality, aesthetics, technical requirements, and environmental sustainability. Gres Aragón is a leading provider of ceramic tile solutions that cater to various project aspects, including façades, interiors, exteriors, pools, staircases, and industrial spaces, all while maintaining a consistent design language. With over 80 years of experience and expertise in extruded tile manufacturing, Gres Aragón has become a trusted partner for architects and interior designers, offering products based on principles of visual continuity, extreme durability, high-tech performance, and a strong focus on sustainability.

Extruded tiles are renowned for their dense structure, exceptional mechanical strength, low water absorption, and precise dimensions, making them ideal for applications such as ventilated façades, pools, interior spaces, and high-traffic floors that demand top-notch performance. These qualities are exemplified in various renowned projects like the Gardea Residential Complex, Casa EA, Alcañiz Hospital, Illueca and Arnedo Health Centres, Velaire residential estate, and Gran Casa Shopping Centre, as well as in private recreational and sports pools.

Faveker’s ventilated façade systems, developed by Gres Aragón, feature extruded tile panels known for their structural robustness, low porosity, and exceptional resistance to environmental elements. These systems not only enhance thermal insulation and energy efficiency but also require minimal maintenance. Projects like the Gardea Residential Complex and healthcare facilities like Alcañiz Hospital and the Arnedo and Illueca Health Centres have benefited from these systems, which offer a textured finish to support both aesthetic appeal and sustainability goals, with certifications for containing recycled content.

For exteriors and pools, Gres Aragón’s extruded tiles are designed to withstand harsh conditions like frost, chemicals, heavy foot traffic, and temperature fluctuations, featuring non-slip surfaces ideal for terraces, pool decks, and other wet areas. These tiles offer continuity in design and technical performance, as seen in projects like Casa EA, where a single tile from the Urban Grafite collection was used for interiors, exteriors, and the pool, ensuring a seamless aesthetic.

In both private and public pool settings, Gres Aragón provides a comprehensive range of tiles, including gratings, copings, step tiles, and specialized pieces, with Bioklinker® treatment offering permanent antibacterial protection in high-traffic areas like spas. The versatility of extruded tiles is further demonstrated in creating durable, slip-resistant staircases for high-traffic areas such as the Gran Casa Shopping Centre and residential projects like Velaire, where indoor and outdoor staircases seamlessly integrate into the architectural design.

The chemical resistance, dimensional stability, and easy maintenance of extruded tiles also make them an excellent choice for interior spaces. In projects like Casa EA and the Arnedo Health Centre, these tiles were used throughout various areas to ensure uniform aesthetics, durability, and safety, particularly crucial in healthcare environments. Furthermore, in industrial settings like commercial kitchens and laboratories, Gres Aragón’s extruded stoneware offers exceptional resistance to mechanical stress, chemicals, temperature changes, and heavy loads, with non-slip finishes enhancing both performance and visual appeal.
