Aparici Neutral features style, quality and innovation, where technology and design coexist in perfect harmony. It offers a wide chromatic range to create contemporary and modern spaces. Slim Grey and Matter series from Land Porcelanico (#9008) were also displayed.

Pattern took precedence at the Apavisa (#8008) booth with the company's Hydraulic series. Based on the hydraulic style developed in the South of France in the middle of the 19th century, the 30x30cm tile series is available in 4 colors: patchwork natural, grey natural, black natural and blue natural. Patchwork natural contains 27 random patterns per box. Apavisa also displayed the Materia collection; organic stone looks in 4 neutral tones.

Grespania (#9013) expanded its catalogue of wood-look ceramic tiles with two new collections: Amazonia and Patagonia. Patagonia is a multi-format series available in 19.5x120cm and 14.5x120cm that boasts a stylish relief and a gently worn appearance. The 15x80cm, non-rectified Amazonia tile displays a natural design enhanced by a marked relief resembling saw marks, which gives it a fresh, casual style. Also on display were new sizes of Palace Series (59x119cm and 59x59cm) and three new Coverlam collections in a new 5.6mm thickness developed for floors and walls, indoors or outdoors: Estatuario, Supreme and Titan series.

Keraben (#9025) featured the Future series, with its industrial rusty metal, oxidized futuristic look and satin finish that gives the tile a roller polished look.

Metropol (#9027) from the Keraben Group presented tiles in the Covent, Edition, Fossil and Legend series. Also on display was Loussiana - a cementitious look with a touch of rustic. The series comes with an accent piece in geometric shapes that is reminiscent of hydraulic cement.

La Platera (#5031), a recognized manufacturer of modular porcelain tiles, presented new Blendstone and Classic designs specially created for the U.S. Market. The two modular porcelain series are available in 6x6cm, 12x12cm, 18x18cm and 12x24cm sizes, which can be used separately or combined to personalize spaces.

Natucer (#6024) showcased the Caprice series extruded porcelain tile in hexagon shapes and 4 different designs, as well as the Mattone series featuring a linear look and texture in 5 different textures, 2 different thicknesses and 4 different colors.

Touch and Soft series from the Maison collection by Pamesa (#2011) were presented in 31.6 x 60cm format.

Defined by the beauty, nobility and sophistication of marble, Pamesa also presented porcelain series Artic, Aryan, Naxos, Delphi and Onix in three formats (30x3x61.3cm, 30x60cm and 60x60cm), all of which lend a touch of class and glamour with a contemporary feel.

Plus ceramic reliefs, wood looks and cement tiles.
