Eco-Gres
Eco-Gres is produced by using the highest quality standards and the finest available raw materials. These unglazed porcelain panels, tiles, and mosaics are fully vitrified, resulting in extreme durability, hardness, and low water absorption. Porcelain is also highly resistant to fire, stain, bacteria, odor, wear and scratches. However, as with every surface material, a basic cleaning and maintenance program should be followed in order to maintain a satisfactory appearance and an acceptable level of performance.

Bio Luminum
Made from reclaimed aircraft parts, Bio-Luminum uses aircraft aluminum retrieved from decimated military sites, it is 100% recycled and 100% recyclable. Airplane parts are melted into blocks and then sliced to create a lightweight and unique ‘tile’.
The alloys that lend structural strength to aircraft parts make them impossible to recycle by traditional processes. CoveringsETC melts the reclaimed aluminum into blocks which are then cut into slices. The previously unusable aluminum waste of un-recyclable aircraft material is thus kept out of the junkyard or airplane graveyard, providing not only a viable product but distinct aesthetic aluminum tiles.

PETRARCH PANELS
Description
Petrarch panels are composite sheets made by incorporating natural slate and stone fillers in a resin binder with chopped fiberglass strand reinforcement. The panels are completely homogeneous, highly consolidated, with through color and will not delaminate or decay under any conditions. They have a hard, impact resistant surface with low moisture absorption producing a virtually impervious, low maintenance finish suitable for both interior and exterior use.
Applications
External cladding of buildings
Durability
Petrarch panels provide superior performance utilizing the latest panel composite technology. They have an indefinite life and are highly resistant to the effects of natural exposure, climatic extremes and atmospheric pollution. This has been confirmed by accelerated tests in a weatherometer, and natural exposure on buildings for over 30 years.
Features:
Natural Colors, textures, and appearance
Homogeneous through color
High strength and impact resistance
Vandal and graffiti resistant
ISO 9001 accredited
Does not require specialist installation skills
Highly resistant to climate extremes
New construction or retrofit
Interior or exterior applications
Low maintenance easy to clean finish
Compliments other building finishes
Designated Class A fire rating
Will not delaminate or decay
Proven life expectancy in excess of 30 years

StoneLite
Description
StoneLite™ panels provide a natural stone facade to a building while insuring that it is an extremely strong, safe installation that will withstand the test of time. They are durable, able to withstand different weather conditions; heat, cold, earthquakes and hurricanes. The lightweight panels are easy to handle, so an entire building can be laid out in advance and arranged for blending the color and the natural stone grain.
Applications
External cladding of buildings
Durability
Durable: able to withstand different weather conditions (heat, cold, earthquakes, hurricanes).
Sustainability
– Use of Recycled materials
– Resistance to thermal transmission
– Reduced structural requirements
– Preservation of limited natural resources
– Weather resistance
