Hydrotect Tiles & Grout

“Hygienically clean and environmentally sustainable”

In 2002 Ceramic Solutions and Agrob Buchtal raised the standards of modern day tiling by introducing to Australia through the German maker Deutsche Steinzeug, a unique tile which offers the following features:

• Minimal cleaning required
• Minimizes Odors
• Inhibits growth of bacteria
• Scratch and stain resistant
• Long-term guarantee

Where the highest standards of hygiene and environmental concerns are paramount Ceramic Solutions and Agrob Buchtal recommend Hydrotect.

Hydrotect Simplified

Each tile contains a coating of titanium dioxide (Ti02) this is baked onto the tiles at high temperatures ensuring the bonding of the materials with the tile surface. When light is captured by each tile the titanium dioxide activates oxygen from the atmosphere, this process is called photocatalysis.

Once activated decomposition of bacteria, algae and other known germs takes place, this minimizes odors ensuring a pleasant clean atmosphere and surface, whether it be walls or flooring the product is extremely durable. The surface of the tiles are now hydrophilic which means the water is spread over the surface to form a thin film, as the dirt is washed down by the water it can be removed with minimal cleaning, reducing costs of maintenance work and cleaning aids.

Ceramic Solutions in 2011 complete the Hydrotect system by offering matching grout.

Due to the unique Hydrotect system everyone now has the option of enjoying beautiful, hygienically clean surfaces and atmosphere along with a long-term guarantee. Agrob Buchtal’s Hydrotect tiles are available in a range of colours, shapes and textures and can be used in any setting, whether it is your home or a commercial building it can be done.
