Marazzi StepWise TM: a new era

The result of constant research, through the use of increasingly advanced technologies, is the new StepWise ™ technology.
A real production process that incorporates not only innovation, but also makes the surfaces on which it is applied unchanged for a long time.

Patented by Marazzi, the new and surprising technique, applied to high performance products, guarantees a surface that is soft to the touch, non-slip and with a comfortable cleanliness, determined by the lack of roughness on the tile's surface.

Marazzi StepWise ™: beyond the standards.

Marazzi's StepWise™ technology is not identified as a superficial treatment, but owes its particularity to embodying an intrinsic technical characteristic of the new products. This makes them highly resistant to mechanical stress, chemicals, scratches and deep abrasion. The products are thus equipped with a high dynamic friction coefficient, a fundamental parameter that measures the performance of tiles in wet-surface conditions.
Considering that the standard for indoor laid surfaces is .42 Newton, StepWise™ has a DCOF (Dynamic Coefficient of Friction) of .60 Newton, a difference that, for experts, does not go unnoticed.

The result has been achieved mainly by focusing and experimenting technology in all industrial phases: from the research of materials and glazes, to the type of grinding and pressing, up to the modification of the firing process.

Total look. A look to the Future.

StepWise™ opens the doors to a new Concept, giving a new definition to large architectural spaces in continuity between interior and exterior and maintaining unchanged textures, colors, decorations and shades.

All this to make your home or any building unique and personalized. A new View that fits the customers' tastes and needs, with an eye to esthetics and trends of the moment.

The collections produced with StepWise ™ technology.

As every self-respecting technology, StepWise ™ allows the possibility of its use on different product collections, without changing the characteristics of textures, colors or aesthetics, but enhancing the intrinsic peculiarities, expanding the possibilities of installation in different areas that require high quality and performance standards.
