Oxygena

Active ceramic that cleans itself — and the air around it.

Titanium dioxide is fused into the glaze during firing. Exposed to light, it triggers photocatalysis: a natural reaction that breaks down bacteria, odours and pollutants on contact.

Oxygena

How it works

PHOTOCATALYSIS IN THREE STEPS
  1. 01 Light activates Natural or artificial light reaches the titanium dioxide particles fixed in the surface.
  2. 02 Oxygen reacts Humidity and oxygen in the air form active species that oxidise organic matter.
  3. 03 The surface cleans Bacteria and pollutants are broken down into harmless compounds — permanently, for the life of the tile.
