Cersanit tiles: advantages and collections

Cersanit is a well-known brand in the ceramics industry, the name of which is derived from the two Polish words “ceramika” and “sanitarna”. As the name suggests, the company is based in Poland. It was created relatively recently - at the end of the twentieth century. She came to Russia in 2010, having bought out the production facilities of a ceramic factory in Syzran.

Today Cersanit has twelve modern production lines equipped. The Russian factory Cersanit RU LLC is a subsidiary of the Polish company Cersanit, which, in turn, is part of the Rovese industrial group. A feature of the Cersanit brand, which distinguishes it favorably from competitors, is that the company, along with the facing material, also produces plumbing equipment, thus making its customers a comprehensive offer and eliminating the need to select plumbing fixtures that match the style and color scheme of the bathroom.

Most of Cersanit products, including ceramic tiles, are the result of the use of the latest technologies and design and technical solutions of the company's employees. Thus, high performance characteristics are provided, and the needs of the most demanding consumers are satisfied. Ceramic tiles from Cersanit are made of stone powder and red clay.

In the process of its production, two technologies for processing the source material are used:

• With a single firing (monocotture). With this method, the raw material is first pressed, then dried, applied with a glazed layer and, finally, fired;

• With double firing (bicottura). This method involves first firing the compressed raw material, then applying a glazed layer, and then another firing.

Now the company produces over twenty collections of floor ceramics and more than one hundred variants of wall tiles in matte and glossy versions. The high quality of Cersanit ceramics is confirmed by numerous awards: "National Quality Mark", "Consumer Laurel Branch", Superbrand, PremiumBrend and others.

Reviews of the Cersanit cladding material can be found very diverse: from completely enthusiastic to completely negative.

Most of the good reviews concern:

• a wide range of products, a wealth of colors and designs;
• low price of tiles;
• ease of installation;
• ease of cutting.

In addition to low prices, buyers are also attracted by the availability of special promotions and discounts on Cersanit products, which makes it possible to carry out repairs at the lowest cost.

The negative points that consumers note are most often associated with the fact that:

• the packaging may contain damaged tiles. This is especially true for ceramics, which are located closer to the edge of the package;
• within the same package, there may be products that differ in tone. This is especially true for decorative elements;
• there may be stains on the facing material;
• it is not always possible to dock the ornament on the tiles.

As for the opinion of the tiling masters, it is also quite contradictory. Some professionals argue that tiles can crack and crumble during cutting, while others say something completely different. Perhaps the latter were dealing with a batch whose quality control was more stringent. Also, some masters indicate the presence of a certain curvature of the tile, which causes difficulties when joining ceramic elements with each other.

Since the Cersanit tile is still a finishing material in the economy price category, then, accordingly, in some cases it can cause complaints from consumers.

Natural natural shades and texture of stone, graceful floral patterns on the borders and in the decor fill the atmosphere of the bathroom with warmth and contribute to relaxation and serenity. The combination of the fantasy stone pattern of the main tile with the design of the decorative elements of the Novella collection makes the space airy and sophisticated.

The bathroom, made with ceramics from the Rossa collection, looks particularly luxurious.It would seem that there is nothing complicated - just a combination of beige and brown tiles imitating wood, but together with embossed decors and an original panel with zodiac signs, it brings a certain charm to the interior.

Small-textured mosaic tiles in different shades in beige and brown tones, complemented by an original floral panel, makes all bathroom surfaces sparkle in a special way, creating the impression of a constantly moving space.
