Ragno surfaces, made with the new patented StepWise technology, offer excellent compliance with the friction requirements of the most stringent non-slip regulations, married to outstanding style for products that are both pleasing to the touch and easy to clean.
StepWise porcelain stoneware can be sanitised with water and non-aggressive detergent, and is thus the ideal solution for both domestic settings and high traffic commercial applications like shops, bars, restaurants and hotels.
The collections made with the StepWise technology offer highly original styling with the advantages of compliance with the most demanding technical performance specifications. Ragno brand collections have always combined a vast range of decorative options with guaranteed quality and technical performance.
StepWise, the revolutionary plus
Made with advanced technologies, porcelain stoneware offers excellent mechanical strength and resistance to chemical aggression, wear, scratching, deep abrasion and bending; it is easy to sanitise and resistant to freezing temperatures, fire, mould and UV radiation. The characteristics and colours of porcelain stoneware are unaffected by age and atmospheric conditions.
Despite what one might think, StepWise is not a surface treatment but an intrinsic technical feature of the new products concerned.
The Group has implemented these specifications throughout the production process, from research into materials and glazes to the type of grinding and pressing.
The new Ragno stonewares made with the StepWise technology are also treated mechanically over their entire surface to enhance their soft appearance, while also providing a high dynamic coefficient of friction (DCOF, ANSI American National Standard Institute). This coefficient measures the performance of tiles when wet: 0.42 Newton is the standard for surfaces) when installed indoors. StepWise offers a DCOF of 0.60 Newton, far better than the standard requirement.
