 |  | Silver Linings: Ciot Embraces Antibacterial Stoneware Established in 1950, Ciot is an major importer and industry leading retailer of natural stone and ceramic tiles and slabs as well as hardwood, with showrooms in Montreal, Quebec City, Brossard, Toronto, Vaughan, Mississauga, Detroit, Atlanta and New York City. | | | Microban Technology Don’t touch that. During the pandemic, every touch suddenly became a potential vector of transmission — and of heightened anxiety. Fortunately, not all surfaces are created equal. Ceramic and porcelain are inherently bacteriostatic, non-absorbent, easy to clean, and thus, exceptionally hygienic. As Ciot constantly evolves its extensive porcelain and ceramic portfolio, they have introduced Microban, an innovative antibacterial technology, into some of its collections, including standouts NEXTONE and ABSOLUTE SLIMTECH. Manufactured by high-tech Italian industry leader Lea Ceramiche, these versatile porcelain tiles are well-suited for commercial or residential contexts, and are available in a variety of formats for both interior & exterior application. Unlike films or surface treatments, Microban does not wear away and is equally effective with or without sunlight and UV rays. Moreover, while the integrated silver ions kill up to 99.9% of all bacteria, they’re completely safe for people and animals. | Absolute Slimtech ABSOLUTE SLIMTECH is an ultra-versatile laminated porcelain stoneware, offered in glossy and matte finishes, and in both black and white. Available in very thin (5.5mm) large scale slabs of up to 100cm x 300cm, they can be used for everything from exterior wall applications and interior floors and walls to counter surfaces and vanities, taking full advantage of Microban’s antibacterial properties.
