Roca invests heavily in excellence in the design of its products in all its lines of business, with special emphasis on orientation towards customers and the goal of improving their comfort and quality of life. This is a commitment to the consumer that goes beyond merely producing and marketing high-quality products. Roca analyses the needs, tastes, lifestyles and socio-cultural tendencies manifested in society, using the results of this research to adapt its products and services to the new expectations that emerge in the market.
Roca’s extraordinary international expansion creates the need to offer versatile products that adapt to the habits of the different markets in which it operates. For this reason, in 2005 the Roca Design Centre was redefined, centred on research into design trends on the basis of a multicultural, multidisciplinary approach, and the search for and coordination of first-class technological suppliers throughout the world.
The Roca Design Centre has enjoyed the collaboration of the most prestigious architecture and interior design studios (Chipperfield, Herzog & de Meuron, Moneo) and industrial design firms (Giugiaro, Schmidt & Lackner, Benedito Design). This attention to design in all Roca’s product lines has been rewarded by numerous acknowledgements and prizes at both the domestic and international levels, the latest being the DME’08 Design Management Europe Award which distinguishes the best design management in the large company category.
In 2007, the “Roca Innovation Lab” was created as a cell of the Roca Design Centre: an autonomous, multidisciplinary working group centred on the activities of research and innovation, which makes it possible to design and develop new products and concepts independently of the Design Centre’s everyday activities. This laboratory promotes a global international vision of the product, recognising people’s changing requirements, behaviours and tastes. The Lab operates as a nursery of ideas and analysis of the materials and technology to be applied, constituting a centre of international reference in the field of research and innovation.
Types of ceramic tiles
Clinker tiles
It is difficult to define clinker tiles precisely because of the heterogeneity of the existing types. It is produced from a mixture of selected raw materials, with the addition of coloring oxides, energy melter and annealed untreated clay. Ceramic mixture obtained by extrusion is brought to high temperature during firing (up to 1250 ° C) until the beginning of glazing. Tile has a relatively compact structure with a colored ground, usually neemalirovannym. In some cases, the clinker can enamel during firing, or to be covered by the “salt” (a thin layer of clear glass).
Application for extrusion molding process allows to make the tile and complex geometric shapes. For example, a tile, which is used in the construction of swimming pools (caps, corners, stairs, fittings, etc.). In terms of surface treatment different solutions can also be used: untreated surface, semi-bright, enameled, structural. For the outer lining of the sexes, exposed to strong mechanical loads (road), it is produced tiles with increased thickness, which is able to meet the required performance.
Clinker has high characteristics of resistance to mechanical stress, abrasion, the action of atmospheric influences, temperature. It is not exposed to corrosive chemicals, doesn`t absorb water, and it is easy for cleaning and maintenance.
The range of applications: interior and exterior floors, including swimming and other sports facilities, industrial floors, urban renovation, false-floors.
Tile type Cotto (Cotto)
Cotto (baked tiles) is a ceramic material consisting of clay, the solution chosen, which is forming, drying and calcining at temperatures up to 1110 ° C. This tile, which is a porous mass with a variety of shades, as a rule, is not emaliruetsya.
Tiles can be a traditional form (square or rectangular) and the most difficult (hexagon, rhombus, etc.). Different solutions can be used for the surface treatment, both traditional (natural handling, manual processing, polished surface, polished, rough), and the more modern (eg, surface pre-treatment). Tiles may have the most diverse natural color, which covers the entire gamut of red, pink, yellow and brown colors.
Cotto is characterized by low permeability, abrasion, resistance to compression, bending action of aggressive chemicals and atmospheric phenomena, increased service life. It is used mainly for internal floors, in buildings, new construction, and during the reconstruction and restoration.
Majolica
Also called majolica glazed faience or glazed terracotta. This double-fired glazed tiles with a porous and non-ferrous base, is molded by pressing. Mainly it is used for lining the interior walls.
Cottoforte
Cottoforte is a product invented in the mid 60-ies of the century. Glazed ceramic tile, molded by pressing, is produced by the method of double-fired at low temperatures. This material differs from the majolica mechanical strength derived from the compound in the mass, at least two clays with the addition of grog. The high strength allows the use cottoforte at facing the sexes.
Faience (white ceramic)
Glazed ceramic tiles are double-fired with a porous white base, molded by pressing. Intended for internal lining of the sexes.
Ceramic granite
Ceramic granite is a stand alone product, which has its original properties that distinguish it from other ceramic products.

New in Version 5.1 + Render
Tile 5.1 + Render consists of Tile 5.1 and a module of export to POV-Ray external render.
The program allows you to export data to POV-Ray render format. Using POV-Ray you can get realistic, high-quality images of your project.
Rendering is the most capacious computing process. One of the main aims of rendering is creating an image as close to reality as possible. While rendering the computer is taking into account all factors to get maximum-realistic images.
POV-Ray render is using ray-tracing technology. It creates an image by modeling the path of light rays in the real world. The ray-tracer is modeling the reverse flow of rays from the camera to the objects. Every time when the object gets on the ray path, in this point the surface color is calculated. The ray is sent from this point to each light source, in order to determine the quantity of light coming from the source. Using POV-Ray render to create images for personal and commercial purposes is free.
Tile 5.1 + Render supports export to POV-RAY official version 3.62 and to POV-RAY beta-version 3.7. Both render versions are 32bit and are intended for use with Microsoft Windows OS. Unlike version 3.62, the beta-version 3.7 supports multiprocessing, that is, if you have a multi-core processor, the program will use all cores and that will lead to proportional increase in speed of rendering.
Program features:
