Magnetic porcelain tile

Innovation in finishing systems has reached a new level with magnetic porcelain tile installation—a solution that eliminates the use of mortar, reduces waste, and allows easy reuse of materials.

This is a dry installation method for porcelain tiles and ceramic coverings, where each piece is adapted with a metallic plate on its underside and installed over a magnetized base, typically made of mats or panels with magnetic properties. The tile is placed directly onto this base and held in position by magnetic force, with no need for mortar, grout, or curing time. Removal is also quick and simple, enabling immediate reuse of the pieces.

This technology has been gaining traction in countries with strong innovation cultures, such as:

• Germany: modular corporate buildings and retrofit projects

• Japan: high-tech laboratories and hospitals

• United States: temporary constructions and flexible commercial spaces

Advantages:

• Accelerated installation: drastic reduction in execution time, with no need for drying or grouting;

• Reusability of tiles: pieces can be removed and reused in other environments or projects;

• Clean and sustainable construction: no debris or chemical waste, ideal for retrofit and green building certifications;

• Easy maintenance: allows quick access to electrical, plumbing, or IT systems installed beneath floors or walls;

• Future flexibility: ideal for spaces that undergo frequent layout changes.
