One of the most topical issues in the world of architecture is how to minimise the possibility of contamination of Covid-19. In an attempt to limit the spread of the virus, it is now common practice to sanitise all surfaces in all places with a high rate of frequentation. In most cases chemical products are used to eliminate pathogens, or to create a particularly inhospitable environment for their reproduction, causing them to disappear from the disinfected surface.

There are also surfaces with special antibacterial properties, which the world of architecture has been looking at with particular interest for some years now and which could even set a new standard because of the pandemic.

RAK Ceramics' research and development laboratories have been the first in the world to provide antibacterial solutions for interior design, with the development of special antibacterial certified glazes since 2009.

The international company is recognised for integrated porcelain stoneware and ceramic products and systems for floors and walls, sanitary ware and bathroom furnishings. Starting from its know-how, the brand launches RAK-Sanit, a range of ceramic solutions with safety and health as a priority.

Among the products in the new RAK-Sanit collection we find a wide range of floor, wall and sanitary ware made with glazes that inhibit the growth of bacteria, reducing the possibility of infection and creating safer environments. From schools to offices, from restaurants to hotels, from laboratories to shops: RAK-Sanit is the ideal solution for all places where people of different ages, genders and cultures meet.

The action of the products is permanent, ensuring an intrinsic protection during the expected life time of the products, thanks to a continuous action against microbial colonization; this technology is able to reduce or eliminate the number of microbes up to 99.99%, including MRSA, E. Coli, Salmonella and Legionella.
