Designed to offer architects, investors, public administrations and private individuals the opportunity to make informed choices in the selection of materials, Active Surfaces® ceramics combine the aesthetic value suited to high quality projects with the functionality of improving the well-being of those who live in them. These ceramics offer people the freedom to inhabit every space better, allowing them to enjoy the beauty of design in complete safety.

Active Surfaces® are the result of 100% Italian research that began 10 years ago thanks to close cooperation between the Iris Ceramica Group and the Department of Chemistry of the University of Milan. Active ceramics are the only ones in the world to be photocatalytic, anti-pollution, antibacterial and antiviral, ISO certified and boasting two European patents.

Active Surfaces® are distinguished by four important properties:

-Anti-pollution effectiveness;

-Antibacterial and antiviral, in addition to 99% effective, against Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2;

-Anti-odor effectiveness, they remove odors;

-Self-cleaning effectiveness.

Active Surfaces® is the only photocatalytic ceramic in the world that works with any type of lighting: natural, artificial, as well as the new energy-saving LED lamps.vThe exclusive production process makes them effective 24 hours a day and ensures its action never ends, even with prolonged and intensive use of the surface.

Due to their properties, Active surfaces are recommended for all environments where standards of cleanliness, health and hygiene are an important requirement, including homes, wellness areas, hotels, restaurants, gyms, schools, clinics, laboratories, hospitals and offices. Active Surfaces® can be created, in minimum pre-set batches, selecting any semi-polished, natural and structured finish product already included in the Fiandre Architectural brand range.
