RESISTANCE, DESIGN AND SUSTAINABILITY
Natural raw materials
More than 90% of the raw materials used to manufacture Coverlam tiles are of natural origin, with preference given to nearby suppliers, importing as little as possible to avoid CO2 emissions caused by transport.
It is also ensured that these raw materials come from sustainable mining operations and are of the highest quality, free of impurities. Furthermore, the compounds used in the manufacturing process contain a high percentage of recycled material.
Coverlam contains no trace whatsoever of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). No VOCs will be emitted during its use, under any conditions.
The consumption of quarried raw materials in 3.5mm- and 5.6mm-thick tiles is two to three times lower than in similar products of standard thickness. The reduced thickness and weight means the number of square metres transported per trip is maximized, helping to reduce CO2 and NOX emissions.
ADVANTAGES
At Premium Surface, we are committed to the environment. From the selection of raw materials to the manufacture of our ceramic products, we prioritise sustainability and eco-efficiency. We constantly work to reduce our environmental impact and promote responsible practices throughout our supply chain. Together, we are building a greener, more sustainable future.
01. ZERO WASTE
02. LOW PERCENTAGE OF RESPIRABLE CRYSTALLINE SILICA
Thanks to technological advances, Premium Surface has managed to reduce the amount of silica in the composition of its tiles, without diminishing their performance. The silica content in Premium Surface Top countertops is currently less than 11%. in Premium Surface Top countertops is currently less than 11%.
03. H&CTILES
The application of the H&CTiles treatment to Premium Surface offers major environmental benefits. When used outdoors it helps to reduce environmental pollution and endows the tile with the ability to self-clean, while for indoor use it provides antibacterial properties
04. SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE
Given its concern about sustainable architecture, Premium Surface contributes to improving the energy efficiency of buildings by incorporating the new LEED standards throughout the life cycle of its products, from the design phase to final installation.
In addition, it provides the documents needed to confirm compliance with the requirements of the sustainability assessment system in construction projects (BREEAM®).
05. ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY ENERGY CONSUMPTION
Premium Surface has a strategic plan for the use of energy. Thanks to this approach, there has been a gradual reduction in the amount of energy consumed, and the necessary actions are being taken to continue cutting energy consumption. All this is achieved, among other practices, thanks to a Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) system, an Integrated Energy Management System and more efficient machinery that consumes less energy.
