One of the most common problems in terraces, flat roofs and waterproof flagstones, both in old and new buildings, is the correct drainage of rain water.

For this drainage to be swift and complete, exterior horizontal surfaces must have the appropriate slope, which in some cases causes: an aesthetic problem due to cuts in the paving, and practical problems as these areas cannot be used for their leisure purposes; on the other hand, if the slope is not adequate, or in other words, less than required, the drainage of liquids is not carried out properly and a problem of damp will arise in the areas located below such spaces.

IntegraStyl by Alcalagres, aims to provide a solution to all of these problems, as it is a thick Integral Porcelain Tile with a low water absorption coefficient, providing high resistance to frost, which placed on PVC supports with high load capacity and resistance to atmospheric agents, allows water to circulate between its seals, offering a flat surface that is extremely useful for the passage of people and to enjoy the exterior spaces of buildings.

Technical Specifications

The Integrastyl tile is 23 mm thick and is manufactured in rectified, thickened 30x60, 60x60, 45x45 and 45x90 formats and honed, rustic or non-slip finishes depending on the size chosen. Tests performed in accordance with the method described in UNE EN ISO 10545-4. 1997 provide results of 9,464 N in breaking load and 18,506 N in breaking force.

Advantages

Insulation
The air chamber between the upper part of the IntegraStyl Porcelain Tile and the floor surface produces thermal insulation which may offer energy savings of up to 20%.

Resistance
As already mentioned, as the surface covering is made of porcelain, resistance to frost, transit or any external mechanical stress is much higher than normal.

Beauty
IntegraStyl offers flat surfaces which enable us to enjoy exterior spaces with varied aesthetics that can easily be adapted to the latest trends.

Accessibility
As we are dealing with raised external paving, each panel is firmly supported on PVC pedestals, which may be lifted, if the situation requires, for example, when drains need to be accessed for cleaning purposes or to carry out any other type of maintenance.
