Bisazza eyes RP market

MANILA, Philippines - One brand that has set its eyes on the robust local construction and real estate market is Italian glass tiles maker Bisazza.

“It is gratifying to know that despite the world economic downturn, the Philippine construction industry remains strong,” comments Bisazza Philippines Inc. country manager Ric Vincent Atienza.

Bisazza is known worldwide for its luxurious line of glass mosaic tiles for both indoor and outdoor use for residential and institutional applications. Its wide array of design and color makes it perfect for any room dispelling the usual notion that tiles are only for the bathroom and kitchen.

The richness in color of every Bisazza tile cannot be duplicated in ceramic tiles. The small size of each individual tiles make it perfect even for small crevices and to cover any shape.

The tiles used to be made solely by hand but the company has developed a process that can replicate and mass produce uniformly square tile with cushioned and beveled edges and no sharp corners.

One of the brand’s top of the line designs, however, is still made by hand. Bisazz’s “Oro” is made by placing 24-karat gold leaf between two layers of glass.

Not only is Bisazza elegant, it is practically indestructible. The tile is UV-resistant thus the color does not fade, it has a zero percent absorption rate and is impervious to acid and chlorine making it perfect for pools, spas and baths.

Bisazza has lined the walls, floor and ceiling of some of the world’s most prestigious hotels, boutiques, showrooms and homes. It has turned swimming pools and spas into giant works of arts and has transformed drab exterior walls into creative canvasses. A division, Bisazza Home inlays furniture, mirrors, dividers and the like with glass tiles.

The Bisazza Philippines showroom is located at the Ground Floor, RCI Building, 105 Rada St. Legaspi Village, Makati. Bisazza glass mosaic tiles are also available in Wilcon Builders Supply and other dealers nationwide. For more information, call 741-8016, email [email protected] or log on to www.bisazza.com.
