Kerlite: Subtle Intelligence for an Excellent Future

Ultra-thin porcelain stoneware: strong, light, versatile

Kerlite is an ultra-thin porcelain stoneware slab, available in thicknesses from 3.5 to 6.5 mm, reinforced with fiberglass, and offered in large formats up to 120x278 cm. It is light, flexible, and versatile - perfect for any kind of application: new builds, renovations, or overlays on existing surfaces. A material that allows you to do more with less: less weight, fewer raw materials, lower environmental impact, greater design freedom and durability.

International Architecture, Italian Spirit

Ventilated Porcelain Facades: High Performance and Lightness

Thanks to its technical properties, Kerlite is the ideal solution for ventilated façades in porcelain stoneware: light, resistant, durable over time, and highly energy efficient. It has been used in high-profile projects around the world:

• At the Zoo of Pécs (Hungary), it elegantly clads the exterior walls of the main building.
• At the heart of the Yangtze River Delta Hi-Tech Park in Hangzhou (China), it defines the ventilated façades of the D Center.
• In Italy, it is a key element in the expansion of the Hospital del Cuore “G. Pasquinucci” in Massa, with the Limestone collection in three colour variants.

These are just a few examples of how ultra-thin ceramic slabs combine technology, aesthetics, and sustainability in ambitious architectural contexts.

Variante di Valico: ultra-thin ceramic meets infrastructure

Kerlite also proves its value in the infrastructure sector. In the Variante di Valico, one of Europe’s most complex highway stretches, custom-made ultra-thin slabs in anti-glare white were used to clad the curved walls of the longest tunnel on the route.

Kerlite Easy: dry laying that simplifies the future

Innovation extends beyond materials to installation systems. Kerlite Easy is the first patented system for dry laying without adhesives or mortar: fast, clean, and sustainable. The ceramic slabs can be laid over existing surfaces and later removed, offering flexibility for evolving spaces. A striking example is the showroom Gaëlle Paris in Milan, where Kerlite Black-White slabs (100×100 cm, matt and glossy finishes) were dry-laid to create a sophisticated monochrome contrast perfectly in tune with the brand’s bold identity.

Material diversity, unlimited effects

Whether it’s marble effect, concrete effect, or stone effect, Kerlite is available in a wide range of finishes inspired by natural materials. Porcelain stoneware tiles by Cotto d’Este lend themselves to every interior language, with refined style, ease of cleaning, and long-lasting performance.
