IDEAL APPLICATIONS FOR HYTECT

Hytect surfaces are useful for any interior application where easy cleaning and a clean interior climate is required, and any exterior application that needs to present an attractive façade with minimal maintenance. There are however some applications which could especially use the properties of Hytect tiles to conform with regulations or protect from unwanted substances which easily accumulate in certain areas:

  • Healthcare:  Hygiene measures are of utmost importance in hospitals, doctors’ offices, and schools. Hytect helps with compliance by using active oxygen to reliably destroy bacteria, viruses, germs, and spores. This process is undetectable as it can't be seen or smelled yet still gives long-term support in surface disinfection.
  • Pools & Spas:  Maximum cleanliness is expected in swimming pools. Hytect ceramic tiles work towards this goal in an environmentally-friendly manner. Dust, dirt, or soap and cream residues are unable to gain a foothold on Hytect surfaces.
  • Showers at Sports Facilities or Gyms:  As soon as Hytect surfaces come into contact with water, a fine film of water is formed on them. Dirt is simply infiltrated and easily wiped away.
