World’s Most Durable Tile.• PATENTED ANTI –AGEING VC SHIELD
• REVOLUTIONARY VEILCRAFT TECHNOLOGY
• PROTECTION AGAINST ABRASION, SCRATCHES AND STAIN
• Outperformed PEI, U.S.A. Grade V tiles, which itself is a worldwide benchmark for high abrasion. PEI stands for Porcelain Enamel Institute test for abrasion resistance. The PEI Rating of I (lowest) - V (highest) defines the wear and durability of a tile’s glazed surface.
• Wherever it is a matter of cleanliness and hygiene, the innovative VC Shield coating technology from Somany sets totally new standards. :: “Brilliant cleanliness and perfect hygiene with a minimum of cleaning effort”.
• Permanently burnt in and thus practically indestructible, VC is the first tile coating with a long-term guarantee.
• BEST FOR USE IN SUPERMARKETS, METROS, SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS, COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS, AIRPORTS, RESTAURANTS ETC.
• SIZES- 496x496, 605x605, 610x610 MM
