Buxy Flamme is a porcelain stoneware and has natural features. The main characteristic is the reproduction of a calcareous stone that has undergone the flaming process. This result is
obtained by the use of coloured salts, which penetrate into the tile body. Then heat blasting is done on the unsettled surface to settle the pattern before the final furnacing. Customers can create both classical and modern interiors with the use of Buxy Flamme porcelain stoneware.
Buxy Flamme porcelain stoneware can be used in a number of applications such as commercial and residential in and outdoors, including foyers, boutiques, galleries, living areas, balconies, patios, kitchens, bathrooms, walls and step treads (with lamination and various edge detail finishes being achieved).
