GraviTile - The Story behind the flooring system.
1998
The idea
With the aim of revolutionizing the professional laying of tiled floors, Tomas Della Pepa came up with the first idea for a dust and dirt-free floor system.
1999
The first prototype
After the design phase using CAD applications and software simulations, the production of the first plastic click tile prototype follows.
2001
The patent application
For patent protection, the system is registered for an international patent.
2002
Further development of the system
By improving the design, the height of the system can be reduced from 6mm to 4mm. First tests with an injection molding machine with a 2K test mold are carried out.
2003
Improving stability
In order to improve stability, the click tile frame is further optimized with stabilizing grids in the gaps.
2004
The innovation award winner 2004
The company Quick Stone GmbH is awarded the Pioneer Spirit Award for its revolutionary laying system as the innovation prize winner of the year.
2004
The new frame design
New surface materials require an optimized mechanical connection of the frame to the tile, an undercut is developed.
2005
Introduction of new production technology
Higher point load requirements, especially in the commercial segment, lead to filling with polyurethane in the sandwich system – a milestone in terms of resilience and compressive strength.
2011
The new development of the carrier system
Based on the experience of the previous years, the research department can develop a new, heavy-duty carrier system that replaces the previous frame construction.
2014
Takeover of the partner company
Assembly and installation of the system are now carried out directly. This ensures consistently high quality and fast implementation.
2016
The pressure distribution plates
The laying process is optimized by a newly developed pressure distribution plate with a laminated compensation system.
2017
Optimization of the joint pattern
Joint spacers that are attached directly to the QuickTile floor system ensure an even more precise and even joint pattern.
2018
The development of GraviTile
Based on many years of experience with the QuickTile system, a new innovative floor system is created which uses magnetic attraction – GraviTile.
2019
The patent application for the GraviTile flooring system
GraviTile is also registered as an international patent for patent protection.
2020
The launch
GraviTile is officially launched for the public market.
2022
The development of the GraviTile wall system
In order to use the innovative GraviTile technology for wall tiling as well, a special magnetic paint is developed that also allows tiles to stick to the wall.
