1.4 tiles are 14 mm thick, compared with 9–10 mm for standard porcelain stoneware: according to Sichenia, they withstand a breaking load of about 500 kg, against 200 kg for a 10 mm tile. They are laid on indoor and outdoor floors.

The pattern has 14 different faces, so the floor does not look repetitive.

Is it suitable for a shop or a supermarket?

Yes. Sichenia presents 1.4 Grey in supermarkets and in a shopping centre. The 14 mm tile withstands heavy loads and abrasion (≤ 140 mm³), and the Brush R10 surface suits public spaces.

Why a 14 mm tile?

The extra thickness makes the tile much stronger: the breaking strength declared by Sichenia is over 5,000 N, about 500 kg, against roughly 200 kg for 10 mm porcelain stoneware. That is why 1.4 is used in shops, shopping centres, stations and airports, as well as in homes.

Can 1.4 tiles be laid outdoors too?

Yes. Sichenia recommends the 1.4 collection for indoor and outdoor use: it is frost and thermal-shock resistant and absorbs less than 0.1% water. Indoors the joint is at least 2 mm; outdoors, its width is set by the designer.
