An example is the Diva washbasin that combines its elegant shapes to the excellence of the Plus+Ton® characteristics, as well as the modern Set-Up basin that with all its glazed sides is perfectly planar and can be installed wall hung, sit on top or on cabinets.

Special attention has been paid to the adaptability of the products in order to maximize the available environment. The compact size and installation facilitate their use in small spaces. This is crucial when we turn to hotels and to the contract sector, where spaces are small and must meet every need. The furnishing elements often need to be placed in small spaces, without sacrificing the comfort of a functional bathroom.

Inside the catalogue you will find some new ideas for furnishing living areas, according to the available space or the appropriate environment – preserving elegance and functionality in each solution.

Althea Ceramica also owns Althea Racing the historic motorcycle World Champion Team, and Plus+Ton® is today one of the main partners. This is a unique opportunity to promote the characteristics of this extraordinary material and to stand out also in the racing scene thanks to its exceptional properties, high engineering and applied technology.

L'articolo Ceramica Althea presents the new catalogue: Plus + Ton®360° sembra essere il primo su Pluston.

The furniture and construction industries are currently experiencing radical change, putting innovative and sophisticated solutions in high demand.

Whether dealing with low-energy buildings or accessible bathrooms, innovation lies at the heart of the strategic challenges tackled in each of the three French bathroom shows: IDEO BAIN, BATIMAT, INTERCLIMA+ELEC. Consider that 96% of exhibitors and 99% of visitors quote innovation as the main reason for participating.

Ceramica Althea, a company of the Lazio region successfully engaged over 20 years in the production of ceramic bathroom fittings, will put on show its latest major innovation – Plus+Ton® – at the 2015 Ideo Bain trade show.

The unique properties of this material are based on a technology that is likely to take the market by storm. The Ceramica Althea stand will put the spotlight on this new technology, focusing on the material’s potential in many product categories, as suggested by its name, Plus+Ton® 360°.

Starting with the PLUS shower tray, and then going on to explore many other bathroom applications such as washbasins and toilets, the new Ceramica Althea products will feature all the innovative characteristics of Plus+Ton®. Obtained from a single fusion process at a temperature of 1250°, Plus+Ton® provides a 100% scratch-proof, slip-proof, stain-proof and bacterial resistant surface, only using natural raw materials of the highest quality, with the addition of just water and fire.

The products will also be fully recyclable due to a production cycle with zero pollution emissions. As for their antibacterial properties, it is worth mentioning the revolutionary Bacterclean treatment, whose powerful antimicrobial action complies with the most important JIS Z 2801: 2010 (ISO 22196:2007) worldwide standard. Growth and proliferation of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli – the most common microbial families that trigger harmful infections – are reduced by as much as 99%.

Come and discover all the new products at the Ceramica Althea stand located in the modern Paris Nord Villepinte exhibition centre from 2 to 6 November 2015.

Where to find us: stand E 118 is close to the centre of Hall 4 and is part of the Innovation Tour.

Ceramica Althea, leader over 20 years in the production of high quality bathroom fittings, has patented a product with unique characteristics: from a one single fusion at very high temperatures of 1.250°, comes to life Plus+TON®, a ceramic material, qualified as entirely recyclable and therefore 100% eco-friendly, derived from a productive cycle with no pollution emissions into the atmosphere. Plus+TON® ceramic surface has allowed us to produce shower trays, washbasins, slabs and sanitaries, plates, top, counter tops and bathroom fixtures.

Plus+TON® is 100% scratch-proof, stain-proof, slip-proof as well as bacterial resistant and can easily replace those products manufactured using resins, solvents and catalysts; materials that are highly pollutant and non-recyclable. Plus+TON® uses only natural raw materials of the highest quality by just adding water and fire.

The washbasin Diva collection, is the undisputed protagonist of the bathroom space and includes a built in and two sit on top washbasins, studied to be also mounted hung to the wall. The Diva sit on top or wall hung washbasins, respectively have a height of 14 and 18 cm. The smooth profile accompanies the capacious basin of the three models. Diva loves to be refined and functional, modern and exclusive, it fascinates thanks to its smooth shapes and its extraordinary Plus+TON® finish. The Diva collection is the result of the company’s technical experience, research and constant attention to detail, and it is for this reason that all three models are enhanced by the ceramic waste, coordinated to the colour of the washbasin.

Ceramica Althea, already leader over 20 years in the production of high quality bathroom fittings, has recently patented a product with unique characteristics: the exceptional shower tray Plus+TON®.

The main goal of every Ceramica Althea research is to make each product unique, both in design and use. The Plus+TON® material has allowed us to produce shower trays naturally beautiful but, above all, practical.

“This is the result of years of research and of a staff that has worked incessantly day and night.” asserts Genesio Bevilacqua, President of Ceramica Althea, who wishes to emphasize “We have done many tests and created several synergies with many experts also external from our headquarters and context in order to obtain important and significant certifications. To create a unique product, able to ensure a lifetime warranty, it took careful and meticulous work, which is still incomplete, because such a discovery, must be spread on a wide scale.”

If the concept of the beauty of a product is mainly the result of a personal feeling, on the contrary, it is indisputably proven that quality can be measured.

Thanks to its qualities Plus+TON® is non porous. With this feature is impossible for any staining agent to deposit on the surface and to penetrate the inner layers of the ceramic, thereby allowing its removal simply with water. Plus+Ton is certified stain-proof and also limescale-proof.

It is well known that on the standing surfaces of the common shower trays, of any material, are applied slip-proof materials which roughen the surface thereby facilitating the deposit of impurities, organic waste, and bacteria, without giving the certainty of the durability of the treatment over time. Ceramica Althea guarantees thanks to Plus+TON® in its own single fusion a slip-proof surface, achieved at very high temperatures of 1.250° and is for this reason permanent and guaranteed a lifetime. The fusion process, ensuring the imperviousness of the surface, also provides a strong oxidizing power. In this way, the development of pathogenic agents is eliminated, therefore the completely non-toxic material discourages the proliferation of bacteria.

Thanks to its qualities Plus+TON® is non porous. With this feature is impossible for any staining agent to deposit on the surface and to penetrate the inner layers of the ceramic, thereby allowing its removal simply with water. Plus+TON® is certified stain-proof and also limescale-proof.

The innovative Ceramica Althea shower tray appears as a concentrate of technology to which, however, is also combined a design of meticulous research. With a thickness of only 3 cm, the PLUS shower tray is extremely easy to handle. Thanks to its features it overcomes the barriers of classic ceramics and, with its fully glazed sides, is reversible. It can be installed in any bathroom environment, adjacent to walls, in the centre of the room or flush to the floor, making the showering area accessible also to those with disabilities.

Furthermore the design is studied to confer beneficial effects to the feet and, therefore, to the entire body. In fact, the special hemispheres activate a foot massage that stimulates blood circulation conferring tangible benefits.

The incredible lightness of the Plus shower tray is determined by the use of raw materials of the highest quality and by the study of a design that has allowed us to drastically reduce the productive spaces, thus overcoming the barriers of traditional ceramics.

Furthermore to meet installation needs, the Plus shower tray is available in a wide range of sizes and can be custom cut and placed in proximity of pillars or protrusions. A perfect cut is guaranteed, it will be sufficient to simply draw the cutting outline on the layout indicating the relative measures.

Plus+TON®: a product designed for the wellbeing of all the family.

Plus+TON®, the new official partner of the Althea Racing Team for the Superbike and Superstock 1000 Championships season 2015-2016, embodies, together with the prestigious Team of the Lazio region, the tradition of a working approach constantly and meticulously attentive to details, enriched with experimentation and innovation beyond limits, moving the bar higher and higher towards more ambitious and exciting goals. The aim of both is just one: to continually succeed and reconfirm themselves.

The Althea Racing Team, four times World Champion in the Superbike and Superstock categories (Riders and Manufacturers), has been able to transform itself from a private Team into a Team capable of obtaining a place in the Olympus of winners. It is the last Team to have given to Ducati in 2011 the world title in Superbike with the Spanish Carlos Checa, also winning in the same year the Superstock 1000. This year Althea Racing counts on a Spanish and Italian Rider for the Superbike World Championship: Nico Terol and Matteo Baiocco.
Experience and professionalism are the qualities on which the Team points in order to succeed in the prestigious and difficult Sbk world championship. Raffaele De Rosa and Luca Salvadori will defend the colours of the Team in the increasingly competitive Superstock 1000.
The refinement for perfection and details are qualities that Plus+TON® and Althea Racing share with pride. In fact, their union is a complementary partnership and natural fusion between two successful histories.

The Plus+TON® material is created by Ceramica Althea thanks to more than twenty years of experience in the sector, it’s Genesio Bevilacqua’s first “creature ” probably representing today the most innovative product in the application of Ceramics. A result achieved through years of research and tests that have allowed to achieve “the uniqueness” just by a steady and meticulous work. The ceramic material comes to life from a fusion at very high temperatures, qualified as entirely recyclable and therefore 100% eco-friendly and has an international industrial invention patent and copyright. The surface obtained is 100% scratch-proof, stain-proof, slip-proof as well as bacterial resistant. It is also certified 100% Made in Italy.

“Excellence” is a word that can be explained to a certain point. To fully understand this word it has to be seen and validated with one’s own eyes and senses and then, perhaps, brought again under question before being finally convinced and captured.
This is not a question to face when we talk about the union of two realities apparently different, such as Ceramica Althea’s Plus+TON® and Althea Racing motorcycle Team, for many years point of reference and consolidated “excellencies” in their respective sectors.
