FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

IPERCERAMICA

IPERCERAMICA is the leading distribution chain in Italy for the sale of flooring, wall coverings, parquet, sanitary ware, and bathroom furniture. For more information, visit the ABOUT US page.

We generate very high volumes, which allows us to have lower purchasing costs and consequently extremely competitive retail prices. Additionally, we sell almost exclusively IPERCERAMICA branded products (all tiles are designed and created by us, then manufactured by leading Italian producers worldwide). This allows us to skip the additional steps in the supply chain that normally make products more expensive for the end consumer.

PRODUCTS and PROMOTIONS

Most catalog products on this site include a description, detailed technical features, and an in-depth technical sheet. Additionally, you can consult the IPERCERAMICA guides section. If you cannot find the information you need on the website, you can always contact our customer service through this form.

To calculate the amount of product to order, you need to measure the dimensions of the area to be floored/walled. This will give you the “net” amount of tiles required, to which you should add the percentage of “wastage”.

Wastage is the waste resulting from cutting or drilling operations that will be necessary during the installation phase. This percentage must take into account the size of the grout line, as a larger grout line implies less tile consumption, and the laying pattern, as a horizontal layout requires fewer tiles compared to a diagonal layout.
The choice of tile size also affects the amount to consider for wastage: for example, a small size like 20x20 cm or 30x30 cm results in less waste compared to a large size. Also, the presence of certain critical elements, such as columns for wall coverings or irregular room shapes (trapezoids or triangles), implies a greater amount of waste during the installation phase.
Finally, under the same conditions, as a general rule, the larger the areas to be floored, the less wastage you need to consider. Finally, a minimum percentage of 10% wastage is necessary to proceed with the installation of any floor or wall covering.

Yes, we have a section dedicated to outlet products on the site, which are great deals on:

  • End of series: products that are being phased out of the IPERCERAMICA range and can be purchased until stock runs out.
  • Exhibition products: products of which only one unit remains on display in-store and that you can purchase on a first-come, first-served basis if still available at the store.
  • Second choices: products with imperfections, but that have the same production quality as first-choice products.
