Vehicle-resistant yards and garages

In our collective imagination, the garage is not just a place that keeps our car or a work vehicle safe. When we consider films like Grease, American Beauty or Drive, or the origins of giant high-tech corporations such as Google or Microsoft, Walt Disney or Technogym, the garage is obviously a place with an almost magical aura, where many amazing adventures have begun.
A well-designed garage is a part of the home that can fulfil many functions: from just a place for storing little-used bulky items to somewhere for making music with friends, or for leisure DIY. The furniture, often hand-me-downs, is relatively unimportant, but the flooring is crucial because it has to withstand heavy stresses, and the garage is often in the basement and thus exposed to damp. First and foremost, it must be suitable for heavy loads like the weight of a car, so it has to be vehicle-resistant, tough and yet also easy to clean.

Cars drive in and out over this surface, wheels turn and brake, oil leaks are possible, and heavy, sharp items like hammers and screwdrivers can be dropped during ordinary household jobs. So the strength of the porcelain stoneware due2 range is perfect and very beneficial.
20 mm tiles can be installed with the right slope to allow water to drain away if the car comes into the garage wet or covered in snow. The due2 line is not slippery because it has an R11 friction coefficient. The colour of the garage floor is also important because if a material with shade variation (such as stone-effect porcelain stoneware) is chosen, tyre dirt will be less noticeable. The porcelain stoneware collection used for the garage can also be installed on vehicle-resistant yards or outdoor parking spaces, to visually emphasise the continuity between these interconnected areas.
