Germ killers

Our home should be our personal wellness oasis – where children can have pillow fights and mess around with the dog, where babies can play on the floor and parents can relax after work. Hytect tiles make it possible to design an individual favourite place while creating a healthy and comfortable living space at the same time. Relax, enjoy, switch off. A large part of our product range features the Hytect surface.

How Hytect works

Hytect technology is safely baked into the surface of the ceramic at high temperatures. When light falls on the tiles thus refined, active oxygen is released through photocatalysis. This creates the effect against viruses, bacteria and mould. At the same time, Hytect tiles naturally neutralise air pollutants. And because they are also hydrophilic, dirt and grease hardly stick to them.

Easy to clean

A Hytect tile is easier to clean thanks to its hydrophilic surface. Dirt and limescale find it difficult to gain a foothold.

Instead of drops which pearl off ineffectively, water forms a fine film on the tile. Dirt particles are rinsed off and can be easily removed. This reduces both the effort involved in cleaning and the use of cleaning agents.

Antibacterial effect

The antibacterial effect displayed by the surface kills bacteria, mould and germs.

When Hytect interacts with light, oxygen is activated which breaks down the microorganisms. This not only happens with bacteria, mould and algae indoors but also with algae and moss outside.

Improved indoor climate

Hytect activates an air-purification process during which pollutants such as nitrogen oxides are neutralised.

Tiles already represent a pleasant floor and wall covering as they do not emit any vapours. To top this, Hytect filters out pollutants and unpleasant odours from the air. The result: a permanently fresh indoor climate.

How Hytect works

Hytect acts like a natural catalyst whose effects are triggered simply by light. Accordingly, allergy sufferers can breathe easily, parents can let their babies crawl along the floor and animal lovers can easily wipe away any paw prints. A clever technology – three healthy effects.

HEALTHY HOME

Hytect neutralises pollutants such as NOx or formaldehyde over the entire life cycle and actively ensures a better indoor climate. This has a positive impact in modern buildings in particular which are practically air-tight thanks to insulation.
