A área envolvente de uma piscina é, provavelmente, a zona exterior de uma habitação com maior exigência em termos de desempenho do pavimento.A humidade constante, o contacto regular com água clorada ou salgada, a exposição solar intensa, as grandes amplitudes térmicas entre as estações e ainda os produtos de limpeza agressivos utilizados na manutenção do espaço criam um conjunto de condições que poucos materiais conseguem suportar sem se degradarem.Foi precisamente para este contexto que a Revigrés, com mais de quatro décadas de inovação em <a target="_blank" href="https://www.revigres.pt/" tt-mode="url">soluções de revestimentos e pavimentos cerâmicos</a>, desenvolveu os pavimentos de 20 mm de espessura da coleção Tech 20 mm, uma resposta técnica e estética à altura do ambiente mais desafiante do exterior.<h2 style="text-align: justify" dir="ltr">Por que razão a água da piscina não agride este pavimento</h2>A maioria das piscinas domésticas é tratada com cloro livre ou através de sistemas de cloração salina que transformam o cloreto de sódio dissolvido em hipoclorito ativo.Ambos os métodos produzem agentes com elevada capacidade oxidante e corrosiva que, com o tempo, atacam materiais porosos e comprometem a integridade química das superfícies circundantes.É precisamente neste contexto que o <a target="_blank" href="https://www.revigres.pt/perguntas-frequentes/gres-porcelanico" tt-mode="url">grés porcelânico técnico</a> se destaca. Fabricado por prensagem a alta pressão e cozedura a temperaturas superiores a 1200 °C, apresenta uma estrutura interna extremamente densa e porosidade praticamente nula, o que torna cada peça virtualmente impermeável à penetração de cloro, sal e respetivos derivados.Isto significa que a água da piscina pode espalhar-se sobre o pavimento, evaporar e repetir este ciclo durante anos, sem que a superfície altere as suas cor, textura ou integridade estrutural.<h2 style="text-align: justify" dir="ltr">A baixa porosidade que impede as manchas</h2>A manutenção do espaço junto a uma piscina envolve frequentemente o uso de produtos de limpeza agressivos, como lixívia diluída e detergentes alcalinos e ácidos para a remoção de calcário ou algas.Um pavimento com elevada porosidade absorveria progressivamente estes agentes, acumulando manchas permanentes e perdendo coesão superficial.Na <a target="_blank" href="https://www.revigres.pt/tech-20-mm" tt-mode="url">coleção Tech 20 mm</a> da Revigrés, a taxa de absorção de água é praticamente nula, o que significa que estes produtos ficam na superfície, sem penetrarem na massa da peça, e são removidos com uma simples passagem de água limpa.A <a target="_blank" href="https://www.revigres.pt/perguntas-frequentes/limpeza-e-manutencao" tt-mode="url">limpeza frequente com produtos neutros</a>, tal como recomendado pela Revigrés, é suficiente para preservar o aspeto original ao longo de décadas, traduzindo-se numa poupança real em termos de tempo e custos de manutenção.<h2 style="text-align: justify" dir="ltr">Segurança nas bordas e na área circundante da piscina</h2>As bordas da piscina e as áreas de banho envolventes são zonas de risco elevado quando o pavimento não oferece resistência adequada ao escorregamento.As peças da coleção Tech 20 mm estão disponíveis com acabamento ANTISLIP RECT, que garante coeficientes de atrito elevados em superfícies molhadas.A classe de resistência ao deslizamento satisfaz os requisitos aplicáveis a espaços exteriores com presença frequente de água, tornando esta solução uma escolha responsável para famílias com crianças, utilizadores mais idosos ou qualquer pessoa que frequente o espaço descalça e em situação de maior risco de queda.<h2 style="text-align: justify" dir="ltr">Resistente ao gelo, ao choque térmico e ao sol sem perder a cor</h2>A resistência à radiação UV é uma das características frequentemente subestimadas na escolha de um <a target="_blank" href="https://www.revigres.pt/aplicacoes/pavimento-exterior" tt-mode="url">pavimento exterior</a>.A exposição solar prolongada degrada os pigmentos de muitos materiais, causando descoloração e envelhecimento precoce, o que reduz o valor estético do espaço.Nos pavimentos de 20 mm de espessura da Revigrés, as cores são incorporadas na própria massa cerâmica durante a fase de produção, tornando-as estáveis à radiação UV e insuscetíveis ao branqueamento solar.Paralelamente, a estrutura densa do grés porcelânico técnico confere-lhe resistência aos choques térmicos e aos ciclos de gelo-degelo, suportando amplitudes entre os −40 °C e os +70 °C sem fissurar ou delaminar.Esta propriedade é particularmente relevante em regiões do interior ou em zonas de maior altitude, onde as temperaturas noturnas de inverno podem ser extremas, e em terraços com forte contraste entre a luz solar direta e a sombra.<h2 style="text-align: justify" dir="ltr">Porque é que o pavimento de 20 mm de espessura supera o pavimento cerâmico interior?</h2>A diferença não reside apenas na espessura, mas também na conceção.O <a target="_blank" href="https://www.revigres.pt/aplicacoes/pavimento-interior" tt-mode="url">pavimento cerâmico interior</a> foi desenvolvido para cargas estáticas e ambientes controlados e não para suportar o peso dinâmico de equipamentos de jardim, resistir aos impactos decorrentes da queda de objetos ou ser colocado diretamente sobre gravilha sem suporte de betonilha.Já os pavimentos de 20 mm de espessura têm uma densidade estrutural que lhes confere capacidade de carga comparável à de uma laje de betão delgada, elevada resistência ao impacto e flexibilidade de aplicação incompatível com as peças de uso interior.O acabamento de superfície é igualmente adaptado ao exterior (sem suscetibilidade ao gelo ou ao brilho perigoso nas zonas molhadas, típico dos acabamentos polidos de interior) e à absorção de compostos orgânicos provenientes do solo ou da folhagem.Trata-se, em suma, de um produto de engenharia concebido de raiz para o exterior e que só funciona plenamente nesse contexto.<h2 style="text-align: justify" dir="ltr">Colocação sobre relva, gravilha ou betonilha</h2>Uma das grandes vantagens da coleção Tech 20 mm é a versatilidade de instalação. Pode ser aplicada de três formas distintas, adaptando-se tanto a obras de raiz como a renovações de espaços exteriores já existentes:<ul><li>Sobre a relva ou superfícies irregulares: permite uma instalação rápida, sem obra húmida, integrando o pavimento de forma harmoniosa em jardins e zonas verdes, sem necessidade de preparação prévia do solo;</li><li>Sobre a gravilha: uma solução igualmente simples e sem obra húmida, com a vantagem de proporcionar uma excelente drenagem natural das águas pluviais e dos salpicos da piscina;</li><li>Com cimento-cola sobre betonilha: a metodologia de assentamento tradicional, indicada para bordas de piscina que exigem fixação rígida e estabilidade dimensional máxima.</li></ul>Esta trilogia de opções torna os pavimentos de 20 mm de espessura uma solução verdadeiramente transversal, capaz de responder a projetos de complexidade e orçamentos distintos.<h2 style="text-align: justify" dir="ltr">Formatos, acabamentos e manutenção mínima ao longo dos anos</h2>A solução Tech 20 mm da Revigrés está disponível em quatro coleções (Blend, Lavastone, Limestone e Urban), nos formatos 60×60 cm, 60×120 cm, 90×90 cm e 120×120 cm, todos com 20 mm de espessura e acabamentos distintos, como ANTISLIP RECT e MATT RECT.Os formatos maiores reduzem o número de juntas e reforçam a continuidade visual do espaço, constituindo um efeito particularmente apreciado em piscinas de conceção contemporânea.Já os formatos mais modulares adaptam-se a projetos de menor escala ou a composições com maior jogo de volumes.<h3 style="text-align: justify" dir="ltr">As coleções em detalhe</h3><ul><li><a target="_blank" href="https://www.revigres.pt/colecoes/blend" tt-mode="url">Blend</a>: efeitos de betão contemporâneo em tons neutros, com grande aptidão para espaços de piscina de linguagem minimalista;</li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://www.revigres.pt/colecoes/lavastone" tt-mode="url">Lavastone</a>: seis tonalidades que vão do Bone ao Antracite, interpretando a textura mineral da pedra natural, com um resultado sofisticado e atemporal;</li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://www.revigres.pt/colecoes/limestone" tt-mode="url">Limestone</a>: dois tons elegantes que evocam a serenidade das pedras calcárias, para espaços exteriores com caráter clássico e contemporâneo;</li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://www.revigres.pt/colecoes/urban" tt-mode="url">Urban</a>: a maior amplitude cromática e de acabamentos da gama, com seis cores, três acabamentos e onze formatos, para projetos de maior ambição expressiva.</li></ul>Nenhuma destas coleções exige selantes ou tratamentos periódicos; uma limpeza regular é tudo o que é necessário para manter o espaço impecável ao longo dos anos.Para encontrar a coleção mais adequada ao seu projeto, experimente o <a target="_blank" href="https://www.revigres.pt/recomendador" tt-mode="url">Recomendador de Azulejos</a> ou utilize o <a target="_blank" href="https://www.revigres.pt/ferramentas/comparador-de-produtos" tt-mode="url">Comparador de Azulejos e Pavimentos</a> da Revigrés para comparar referências lado a lado.Para ver a coleção Tech 20 mm em contexto, explore também a galeria de <a target="_blank" href="https://www.revigres.pt/inspiracao" tt-mode="url">ambientes e decoração para exteriores</a>.<h2 style="text-align: justify" dir="ltr">Para concluir</h2>A área exterior de uma piscina merece um pavimento à altura das exigências do espaço e das ambições estéticas do projeto.Com os pavimentos de 20 mm de espessura da Revigrés, essa escolha traduz-se numa decisão técnica sólida, visualmente irrepreensível e sustentável a longo prazo.Se pretende explorar o universo completo de <a target="_blank" href="https://www.revigres.pt/aplicacoes/revestimento-piscina" tt-mode="url">revestimentos para piscinas</a> da Revigrés, saiba <a target="_blank" href="https://www.revigres.pt/onde-comprar" tt-mode="url">onde comprar</a> ou <a target="_blank" href="https://www.revigres.pt/contactos" tt-mode="url">contacte-nos</a> para receber aconselhamento personalizado.<h2 style="text-align: justify" dir="ltr">Perguntas Frequentes (FAQ)</h2><h3 style="text-align: justify" dir="ltr">1. Os pavimentos de 20 mm de espessura podem ser colocados diretamente nas bordas e na área circundante da piscina?</h3>Sim. A espessura estrutural, a resistência química à água clorada e ao sal e o acabamento ANTISLIP RECT tornam-nos a escolha técnica correta para estas zonas. A instalação é feita com cimento-cola sobre betonilha, garantindo fixação rígida e estabilidade dimensional.<h3 style="text-align: justify" dir="ltr">2. As coleções Tech 20 mm da Revigrés resistem à cloração salina, além do cloro tradicional?</h3>Sim. A estrutura densa e de porosidade praticamente nula do grés porcelânico técnico confere-lhes resistência a ambos os tipos de tratamento, sem alteração da cor ou da superfície ao longo do tempo.<h3 style="text-align: justify" dir="ltr">3. Qual é a diferença entre os acabamentos ANTISLIP RECT e SOFT GRIP?</h3>O acabamento ANTISLIP RECT é o recomendado para zonas molhadas, devido à sua textura superficial, que garante aderência mesmo com o piso completamente molhado. O acabamento SOFT GRIP proporciona uma superfície mais lisa, adequada para interiores ou espaços exteriores cobertos, com menor presença de água.<h3 style="text-align: justify" dir="ltr">4. É possível instalar pavimentos de 20 mm de espessura sobre um pavimento existente, sem recorrer a obras de demolição?</h3>Sim. Quando aplicados sobre relva ou gravilha, dispensam a demolição do suporte existente, desde que este se encontre em bom estado. É uma solução especialmente vantajosa para a renovação de espaços exteriores.<h3 style="text-align: justify" dir="ltr">5. Com que frequência devo limpar o pavimento à volta da piscina e que produtos posso utilizar?</h3>A limpeza periódica com detergente neutro diluído em água é suficiente para a manutenção corrente. Em caso de manchas mais persistentes, a resistência química do grés porcelânico técnico permite o uso de produtos de limpeza mais agressivos sem risco de dano à superfície.

Task Leader: VISABEIRA | Task Partners: REVIGRÉS, SANINDUSA Revigrés is part of the consortium of companies that make up the Pact for Innovation ECP - Ecocerâmica e Cristalaria de Portugal, co-financed by the Recovery and Resilience Plan. It consists of an integrative proposition for the Ceramics and Crystal works sectors across the board, which focuses on critical competitiveness success factors and aspires to improve their international positioning. With a focus on 4 central thematic areas – energy sustainability, circular economy and industrial symbiosis, digital transition and capacity building – it is committed to the development of new products, processes and services with high added value, based on new models of cross-sectoral industrial organization, thus ensuring progress in the global value chain and investment in activities with greater added value. One of the intended outputs laid down in the task of Workpackage WP5 – Digital transition of the ceramic sector, is the creation of a National BIM Content Platform for the Ceramic Industry: BIMCer. This platform will provide a public and national library of digital templates of ceramic products using standardized methodologies and BIM technology that incorporates different layers of information, namely on the carbon footprint of products. In this phase of the WP5 project, with the collaboration of TecMinho - University-Business Association for Development, of the University of Minho, Product Data Templates (PDTs) have been created for Revigrés and Sanindusa products. In line with the EN ISO standards for Product Data Templates (EN ISO 23386 and EN ISO 23387) and with the EN standards for each product, these PDTs will be the basis for the information consultation structure and search filters of the BIMCer Platform, and have already been uploaded to the PDTs.pt platform, where the data is available for consultation by the industry and for future developments. This data structure is also aligned with the needs of the single Digital Licensing Platform at national level, PEPU – Electronic Platform for Urban Procedures (where BIM will become mandatory from 2030 onwards), and also with the legislation that is being prepared for the Digital Construction Product Passport, which also provides information on the product's life cycle.

Agenda ECP - Ecocerâmica e Cristalaria de Portugal

Decorating with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.revigres.pt/en" tt-mode="url">tiles</a> is an ancient art, especially in cultures like the Portuguese where ceramic tiles have become ubiquitous for decorating palaces and small homes alike. Tiles have a rich cultural history and are actually works of art in many parts of the world. For example, the classic blue and white colour scheme, adopted in the late 17th century, was inspired by oriental porcelain, symbols of purity and serenity, and of our maritime heritage, replacing the polychromatic tiles of Moorish influences. This example illustrates the importance of colour and knowing how to mix colours. It is much more than aesthetics, and it is the topic we are discussing here by proposing 5 colour schemes and decorations that are the groundwork of space you will not forget.<h2 style="text-align: justify">5 inspiring ideas: Colour schemes and decoration</h2><h3 style="text-align: justify">1. Monochromatic scheme: Elegance and simplicity</h3>The monochromatic colour scheme consists of variations of a single colour for sophistication and harmony. This style is perfect if you prefer clean and more modern decoration.For kitchens: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.revigres.pt/en/storytiling/ceramic-tiles-for-kitchen-walls" tt-mode="url">Kitchen ceramics</a> in white or light grey is a classic example that visually enhances space and provides a neutral background that matches any colour of furniture and accessories. Combine different polished, relief or matt finishes to lend greater depth and add a special touch.For bathrooms: Shades of blue or aqua green are excellent choices. These colours convey tranquillity and freshness, perfect for a more relaxed atmosphere. Use ceramic tiles in different sizes to create interesting patterns and within the same monochromatic colour palette.<h2 style="text-align: justify">2. Complementary scheme: Colours that attract</h2>Complementary schemes use colours that sit opposite on the colour-wheel, creating vibrant and dynamic contrast. This scheme is perfect if you are looking for bold and energetic decoration.For kitchens: Match blue and orange or green and red. For example, kitchen tiles with a dark blue background and a touch of orange can transform a plain wall into an impressive eye catcher.For bathrooms: Choose purple, yellow, green or pink. These colour combinations add life and personality to space. Use the most vibrant colour for detail on a lighter background to balance the room.<h2 style="text-align: justify">3. Analogue scheme: Harmony and cohesion</h2>As the name suggests, analogue schemes complement each other by using adjacent colours on the colour-wheel, offering a smooth and harmonious transition between them. This scheme results in less austere and well-balanced environments.For kitchens: Shades of yellow and orange create a warm and cosy atmosphere. Tiles in different shades of these two colours can be laid in geometric patterns for a modern, energetic atmosphere.For bathrooms: Blue, green and turquoise are perfect for creating a relaxing atmosphere. Shades of blue and green in a mosaic pattern can transform a conventional bathroom into an oasis of tranquillity.<h2 style="text-align: justify">4. Triadic scheme: Energy in perfect balance</h2>Triadic schemes use three colours that are equidistant on the colour-wheel, creating a balanced and vibrant palette. This scheme is perfect if you are looking to add a touch of colour without burdening the space.For kitchens: Use blue, red and yellow. Kitchen tiles with a blue background, red details and hints of yellow can create a cheerful kitchen with character. Make sure the colours are well balanced to avoid a cacophony of colour.For bathrooms: Match green, orange and purple. Tiles with a geometric pattern in these colours can create an elegant environment, perfect for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.revigres.pt/en/storytiling/trends-in-modern-bathroom-tiles" tt-mode="url">modern bathrooms</a>.<h2 style="text-align: justify">5. Natural colour scheme: Inspired by nature</h2>Natural colour schemes are inspired by the shades of nature, e.g. greens, browns and beiges. This scheme is ideal for creating a peaceful and cosy atmosphere.For kitchens: Use tiles in shades of terracotta, olive green and cream. These natural colours are perfect for a rustic or country-style kitchen, adding a touch of nature to the home.For bathrooms: Shades of sand, brown and light green can turn the bathroom into a real spa inside your home. Tiles in natural colours blend in perfectly with plants and wooden accessories for a Zen atmosphere.<h2 style="text-align: justify">Portuguese tiles: Timeless charm</h2>Speaking of tile, traditional Portuguese tiles are famous for their intricate patterns; an excellent choice for adding a touch of history and culture to your home.For kitchens: Use Portuguese tiles as a backsplash or to help a wall stick out. Traditional colours such as blue and white are perfect for creating a striking eye catcher.For bathrooms: Create a Portuguese tile mural on one of the bathroom walls. This technique will add an artistic touch to your bathroom and transform it into a real work of art.Choosing the right colour scheme for your tiles can be an extremely rewarding process. Bear in mind lighting, the size of the space and the room décor when making your choice. Be bold with complementary colours, create harmony with analogous schemes or opt for the elegance of monochrome colours. Whatever your choice, tiles are an extension of our personality in space and there's room for everyone.For more inspiration and tips, visit our webpage dedicated to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.revigres.pt/en/get-inspired" tt-mode="url">Environments and Decoration</a>.

However, don't use vinegar on marble or natural stone surfaces, as the acidity can damage these materials.<h3 style="text-align: justify">Bicarbonate of soda</h3>Baking soda is another excellent DIY solution for cleaning tiles. Dissolve a tablespoon of baking soda in warm water into a paste. Apply the paste to the tiles and leave for 15 minutes. Scrub with a sponge or soft-bristled brush and rinse with clean water. Avoid using bicarbonate of soda on shiny tiles or surfaces as it can scratch the surface.<h2 style="text-align: justify">How to remove grease from tiles step by step</h2><h3 style="text-align: justify">Materials</h3>Before you start cleaning, gather all the necessary materials: white vinegar, baking soda, lemons, sponges, microfibre cloths, a soft-bristled brush and a spray bottle.<h3 style="text-align: justify">Apply cleaning solutions</h3>Spray a white vinegar and water solution onto the tiles to ensure even distribution. If you prefer, depending on the type of tile, use baking soda paste or lemon juice instead on tough grime.<h3 style="text-align: justify">Use techniques</h3>After applying the cleaning solutions, scrub the tiles with a sponge or soft brush. Use a circular motion to loosen the grease. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a microfibre cloth to avoid water stains.Tips to prevent grease buildup<h3 style="text-align: justify">Try to maintain a daily routine</h3>Maintaining a daily cleaning routine can prevent grease buildup.After cooking, wipe the tiles with a damp cloth and neutral detergent to remove grease stains.Use recommended products for regular cleaning.Use specific degreasing products for tile deep clean. These cleaning products are specially formulated to remove grease without damaging the tile.<h3 style="text-align: justify">Habits that help keep tiles clean</h3>Using a lid on a frying pan and reducing frying times can help reduce grease buildup on the tiles. An exhaust fan in a kitchen helps to remove airborne grease.<h2 style="text-align: justify">Common mistakes and how to avoid them</h2><h3 style="text-align: justify">Excessive use of chemical products</h3>Overuse of chemical products can damage tiles and grout. Prefer DIY cleaning solutions or recommended tile cleaning products.<h3 style="text-align: justify">Techniques that damage tiles</h3>Refrain from using a hard-bristled brush or scrubbing too hard, as this can scratch the tiles. Use soft sponges and soft brushes.<h2 style="text-align: justify">Insufficient cleaning</h2>Grease buildup can make cleaning difficult. Regularly clean surfaces to prevent stubborn dirt.<h2 style="text-align: justify">Useful tools</h2><h3 style="text-align: justify">Appropriate sponges and cloths</h3>Use soft sponges and microfibre cloths to avoid scratching the tiles. Microfibre cloths are excellent for drying and preventing water stains.<h3 style="text-align: justify">Soft fibre brushes</h3>Choose soft-bristled brushes to protect tiles and for lifting dirt from grout. Avoid hard-bristled brushes that can damage the tiles.<h3 style="text-align: justify">Steam cleaners</h3>Steam cleaners are great for deep cleaning as they use hot steam to degrease without using chemicals. However, they should be used with caution to avoid damaging mortar and certain types of heat-sensitive tiles.&nbsp;Keeping kitchen tiles clean and grease-free is essential. These tips will help you make your kitchen even more inviting.

Best Tips for Cleaning Greasy Kitchen Tiles – Revigrés

Revigrés' Integrated Plan for Decarbonization and Energy Efficiency was distinguished by the results obtained in criteria such as the reduction of CO2 emissions, rationalization of resources and transition to green energy, with an impact not only on the Company's activity, but also on the entire ceramic sector.According to Revigrés Management Board “It is with great pride that we receive this award. Environmental sustainability has been part of Revigrés’s DNA since its foundation and we continue to prioritize this topic through new production processes that aim to promote energy efficiency and the approach to carbon neutrality.”The distinction comes as Revigrés prepares to reinforce this positioning by completing the installation of a new production line dedicated to the launch of value-added and more sustainable products through more energy-efficient industrial equipment, in the second half of 2024.This project is part of the Illiance and Ecocerâmica Agendas - financed by the Recovery and Resilience Plan and NextGeneration EU Funds - and with an investment of 15 million euros in equity, the project envisages reinforcing the use of renewable electrical energy sources, such as solar, the incorporation of hydrogen into the production process and the creation of symbiosis for the incorporation of waste.
