The thinnest tiles available on the market are generally referred to as 'ultra-thin tiles' or 'thin tiles.' These tiles feature a thinner profile compared to traditional tiles.
Currently, the thinnest tiles available in the Ceramiche Keope range have a thickness of 6 millimetres and come in the dimensions of 120x278cm.
Thin tiles are appreciated for various reasons. First of all, their reduced thickness makes them lighter and easier to handle during installation. Additionally, these tiles can be applied directly on existing surfaces, eliminating the need for complete removal of previous materials, which proves beneficial in renovation scenarios. They are excellent for ventilated façade cladding.

Choosing the perfect floor and wall covering depends on several factors, including the desired style, use of the room, budget and personal preferences. Here are some steps to help you make an informed choice:

Define the style: Determine the style or atmosphere you want to create in the room. You can get some ideas of the floors you want from design magazines, online sources or by consulting the Keope configurator (Match App - link). Determine whether you want a modern, rustic, traditional or other look.

Assess the durability: Take into account the durability of the flooring material. Opt for scratch and wear-resistant flooring for high-traffic areas such as hallways or entrances. Conversely, consider more delicate materials for low-traffic areas.

Determine the budget: Set a budget for both the floor and wall coverings, factoring in installation and maintenance costs. There are many options available at varying price points to suit any budget.

Consult a professional: If you're uncertain about your choices and have particular inquiries, don't hesitate to contact a Keope professional. They can offer customised advice based on your needs and budget.

Follow these steps to clean glossy marble-effect porcelain stoneware:

Remove dust and dirt: Use a soft bristle broom or vacuum cleaner with a soft padding to remove dust and dirt from the floor surface. 

Prepare a cleaning solution: Mix lukewarm water with a neutral cleaner formulated specifically for ceramic or porcelain floors in a bucket. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions on the correct dilution ratios. 

Clean the floor: Clean the floor using a mop or microfibre cloth dampened with the detergent solution. Make sure to wring out the mop or cloth adequately so that it is not too wet. Do not use harsh or abrasive chemical products that can damage the glossy finish. 

Remove stains: For stubborn stains or encrustations, use a sponge or soft cloth soaked in a stain-removing solution or cleaning solution specifically for marble. Follow the product instructions and gently rub the stain until it is removed. 

Rinse: After cleaning, thoroughly rinse the floor using clean water to remove any detergent residue. Make sure to dry the floor thoroughly to prevent the formation of halos or stains. 

Perform regular maintenance: To keep your glossy porcelain stoneware floor looking good, clean it regularly with clean water and a mild detergent. Do not use hard brushes or harsh chemical products that may scratch or dull the surface. 

Always follow Keope's cleaning and maintenance instructions specific to your type of marble-effect porcelain stoneware.

No, joints are always necessary. However, depending on the type of tile or rather the kind of tile edge, the joint can be narrower (2 mm) or wider (up to 5 mm). The laying of tiles generally varies according to the characteristics of the collection itself. It is important to ensure seamless blending of the tiles to keep the grout joints as narrow as possible. If the tiles are rectified (with perfectly bevelled edges), they can be laid with a narrow joint (2 mm) to obtain a refined and elegant effect. The final result is particularly striking and is generally recommended for modern and technologically advanced products, such as large sizes. In the case of more traditional or rustic tiles with non-rectified edges after firing, it is advisable to opt for a slightly wider joint of about 4 or 5 mm to obtain a final effect that aligns with the aesthetic and functional characteristics of the tile. It's worth noting that the narrower the grout joint, the more rigid the tile. In some cases, structural shifts in screeds and floor slabs could lead to tile breakage or deformation.
