Cifre Max: 14 mm porcelain tiles for large projects

At Cifre Cerámica, innovation is always at the service of architecture, offering ceramic solutions that meet the demands of large projects, where resistance, design, and functionality must go hand in hand. This is the context in which Cifre Max was born, a range that takes advantage of the benefits of 14 mm thick porcelain tiles for use in high-traffic areas, ventilated facades, and spaces that require exceptional technical performance without compromising on aesthetics.

In this article, we explore the advantages of 14 mm porcelain tiles, their main applications in commercial architecture, and the Cifre Cerámica series that best represent this fusion of functionality and design.

Why choose 14 mm thick porcelain tiles

14 mm porcelain tiles represent a technical evolution within the ceramic sector. Their thickness makes them an ideal solution for large-scale projects where durability and stability are key factors.

• Maximum resistance. Its greater thickness reinforces the structure of the material, making it ideal for high-traffic and heavy-use areas.
• Easy cleaning and maintenance. Porcelain tiles are resistant to stains, moisture, and chemicals, making them easy to clean and maintain on a daily basis. This is an essential advantage in commercial architecture.
• Suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Thanks to its thermal and mechanical resistance, it can be installed in both indoor and outdoor spaces, either as flooring or wall tiles. This allows you to connect the interior and exterior under the same design. 
• Variety of formats and colors. The Cifre Max collections also stand out for their variety of colors, formats, and appearances, adapting to any architectural concept.

Uses of 14 mm tiles

14 mm porcelain tiles stand out for their versatility and variety of applications. Here are some of the most common: 

• Flooring: Ideal for high-traffic areas such as shopping centers, supermarkets, hotels, or public spaces. Cifre Max 14 mm tiles are PEI V certified, the highest level of traffic resistance, ensuring durable and aesthetically impeccable flooring over time. 
• Ventilated facades: 14 mm porcelain tiles are also a perfect choice for ventilated facade systems. Cifre Max collections do not require mesh backing, improving the energy efficiency and acoustic insulation of buildings. 
• Other applications: Beyond flooring and facades, 14 mm porcelain tiles are used on work surfaces, kitchen countertops, and bathroom furniture. These applications expand creative possibilities while maintaining visual consistency and material continuity throughout the project.

Discover the Cifre Max series

Cifre Max consists of several series designed to meet different technical and aesthetic needs. They all share the same goal: to offer high-performance ceramic materials capable of responding to the demands of contemporary architecture.

• Grain (flooring): The Grain series combines robustness and elegance in a 14 mm thick porcelain tile designed exclusively for high-traffic areas. Its tiles realistically reproduce fine-grained natural stones, offering a modern and minimalist matte finish. Available in three shades—Ivory, Pearl, and White—and in a 60×60 cm format.
• Borneo (facades): Borneo reinterprets cement with an architectural approach. Available in three colors—White, Pearl, and Sand—its 14 mm version in a 60×120 cm rectified format is perfectly suited to ventilated facade systems. It can also be combined with other thicknesses and formats from the same collection to offer comprehensive solutions for the project.
• Cronos (facades): Inspired by the majesty of natural stone, Cronos combines aesthetics and functionality in a collection designed for commercial architecture. In its 14 mm version and 60×120 cm rectified format, it is a solid and elegant option for ventilated facades or high-performance vertical surfaces. Like Borneo, it allows different thicknesses to be combined in the same project for total aesthetic consistency.
