Lighting accounts for about one fifth of household electricity bills. As such, we should pay close attention to this when we are planning the decor of our homes, as it can cause our monthly bills to increase inconsiderably if it is not properly considered. For this reason, in this article we will give you some tips so that you can light your home the way you like while also making significant savings.

Recent trends in interior design and new technological advances have led to the development of tile products able to provide that much sought-after seamless look. This can be achieved with large-format rectified tiles.

The tile company is set once more to present at the Italian fair, which is held in September. This time drawing on imagination to present their collections through the use of story telling.

Last July, within the framework of the European R&D project called "FISSAC", two pilot productions of ECO tiles were manufactured at the Keraben Group’s facilities. The NATURE GREY model was used as a starting point to manufacture several hundred square metres of an ECO tile in 30x90 format, as well as an ECO porcelain in 50x50 format.

Keraben Grupo continues to give priority to R&D and innovation, on this occasion by taking part in a new European project, LIGHTCOCE, aimed at the development of lighter weight multi-functional building materials. Behind the project is a consortium of 26 partners, including research centres, universities, technology suppliers and industries from 9 different EU member states. Spain is represented by 5 different bodies, including Keraben Grupo and the Institute for Ceramic Technology (AICE-ITC according to its Spanish acronym).

Keraben Group has decided to sponsor the second "MATERPLAT Young Innovators in Materials Awards", which seeks to recognise and promote training for new, innovative professionals in materials science and technology in Spain.
