The ceramic firm has developed an innovative 14 mm thick porcelain stoneware that can be applied both in ventilated façades, presented in a single 60×120 cm format, and public spaces where a high performance material is required for high traffic, this is presented in a single 60×60 cm format.
The versatility of this material offers balance and visual cohesion in architectural projects. Although it allows different spaces to be integrated and harmonised with a uniform aesthetic, each format is carefully designed to meet the specific needs of each application, guaranteeing functionality and safety.
This thickness improves the machining and fixing of parts on facades, and its high technical performance guarantees good performance in commercial spaces.

At a time when design and functionality go hand in hand, high-performance construction solutions in buildings are becoming increasingly important. Argenta Cerámica has developed Max, a new range of 14 mm thick porcelain tiles designed to offer advanced solutions in architecture and interior design, with great versatility, which can be applied in ventilated façades or surfaces subject to intense use.
This porcelain stoneware stands out for its resistance, functionality and aesthetics, adapting to a wide variety of architectural projects.
With formats of 60×60 cm and 60×120 cm, and collections that combine natural textures with high-precision finishes, the ceramic pieces can be used in both largescale projects and residential buildings.
An advanced solution to give coherence to architectural and interior design projects.
Riven Max
With the same pieces and the same finish, architects and designers can create projects with great aesthetic coherence, as this porcelain tile is suitable for different areas within the same building, achieving a balanced integration between the different elements of the project.
The 14 mm porcelain tile for ventilated façades facilitates the machining and fixing of the pieces.

One of the most outstanding uses of 14 mm in the 60×120 cm format is its application in ventilated façades, a system that not only provides visual uniformity, but also optimises the energy performance of buildings, allowing energy consumption to be reduced by up to 30%.
In addition, this thickness facilitates the machining and clamping of parts, optimising reinforcement work, and eliminating the need for meshing required by other thinner solutions, such as 9 mm or 6 mm, which represents a key competitive advantage.
Argenta offers three anchoring systems that guarantee safety, durability and flexibility in any project. The C.A.T 1 combines mechanical and chemical fastening, with aluminium slots and profiles, ensuring a solid joint and easy replacement of parts. The C.A.T 6 uses a modular flake design, allowing individual adjustment and replacement of parts thanks to its mixed fixing. The C.A.T 3 is based on stainless steel clamps and an elastic adhesive that absorbs vibrations, ensuring stability and preventing de- tachment, even after impact.
A high performance product for commercial areas in 60×60 cm format.
Another outstanding application is its use in places with high traffic, such as shopping centres, shops or public spaces, where its resistance to heavy loads and constant wear and tear is essential, prolonging the useful life of the installations. Its greater thickness provides additional stability, allowing it to withstand heavy loads.
The flooring has a PEI 5 finish, which certifies its high resistance to surface wear, and a MOHS 9 hardness, which guarantees its ability to withstand abrasion in demanding conditions. It is worth noting that very few products have such high performance as resistance. These characteristics make it particularly suitable for busy commercial environments, where compliance with regulations is essential to ensure the functionality and durability of the material.
The 14 mm thick Max collections are Astoria, Calian, Khala, Riven, Westone in the 60×120 cm format, and Area y Corbin in the 60×60 cm format.
