We are dedicated to providing products of the highest quality. Our CeramicSteel surfaces have undergone thorough testing to ensure they meet the stringent requirements of contemporary applications. These tests demonstrate exceptional attributes, including resistance to scratches, flames, oil, and alkaline substances. Each assessment has been carefully designed to highlight the durability, reliability, and versatility of our CeramicSteel products.
Purpose of the Tests
These tests compare CeramicSteel’s performance with other materials, including glass, HPL, and ceramic tiles. The results offer data-driven evidence supporting CeramicSteel’s suitability for use in offices, kitchens, bathrooms, classrooms, and other challenging environments.
Overview of Testing
The testing process included internal and external laboratories to measure critical performance metrics and is assessed according to ISO standards. The surface durability is examined using scratch, hardness, impact, and abrasion tests. The ability to resist flames and oil/grease is tested under extreme conditions to simulate real-life scenarios. Additionally, the stain, alkaline, and acid resistance of the material were evaluated to confirm its reliability in harsh environments. Magnetic properties were compared to establish the products versatility.
Key Findings
CeramicSteel consistently outperformed competing materials, demonstrating superior resistance across all categories below.
Results indicated that CeramicSteel is particularly effective in environments demanding high resistance to mechanical wear, flame exposure, and chemical contact.
While materials like HPL and ceramic tiles performed adequately, only CeramicSteel matched the performance of glass in key areas, solidifying its position as a top choice for backsplashes, markerboards, chalkboards, toilet partitions, and wall applications.
CeramicSteel’s Unmatched Performance Across All Tests Setting a New Standard in Surface Durability
After rigorous testing across multiple performance categories, CeramicSteel has emerged as the top-performing material, consistently excelling over alternative surfaces such as glass, ceramic tile, marble, granite, stainless steel, painted aluminum, acrylic, and HPL. The results prove that CeramicSteel is the ideal choice for applications that demand superior durability, reliability, versatility, and longevity.
Why CeramicSteel is the Best Choice Based on all tested categories, CeramicSteel outperformed every other material, ranking at 100% overall performance. Other materials showed weaknesses in different areas.
