At Rosa Gres we investigate continuously in the field of anti-slip; thus we have successfully created safe, comfortable anti-slips with the high resistance of our porcelain stoneware.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Transmitting a timeless style<\/strong><\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt was important to give the design a quality that I consider key nowadays, and that is the capacity of accepting changes in its immediate context (decorative, usage, technical), given the fleeting nature of current trends.
