When selecting a floor covering, it is important to consider more than just design. Strength, durability, and safety are key factors, especially for homes, commercial spaces, hotels, or public buildings. <\/p>\n
\u263bThat is why the UPEC certification was created. It serves as a benchmark for quality, making it possible to identify ceramic tiles that can withstand everyday wear and tear while delivering long-lasting performance. <\/p>\n
UPEC <\/a>certification, awarded in accordance with the standards established by the Scientific and Technical Center for Building (CSTB), assesses the technical performance of floor coverings based on four fundamental criteria:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.carthagoceramic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/qualite.webp” title_text=”quality” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.carthagoceramic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/haute-resistance.webp” title_text=”High resistance” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.carthagoceramic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/nettoyage.webp” title_text=”Cleaning” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#eaeaea” custom_padding=”10px|10px|10px|10px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Each criterion is assigned a performance rating.

It ensures that the product’s declared performance has been verified and is subject to regular quality control. <\/p>\n 2. Superior durability<\/strong><\/p>\n A UPEC<\/a>-certified tile retains its original appearance for longer. It offers excellent resistance to heavy foot traffic, scratches, impacts, heavy loads, and everyday wear and tear. <\/p>\n It is a long-term investment that helps reduce replacement costs over time.<\/p>\n 3. Excellent moisture resistance<\/strong><\/p>\n Areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, covered terraces, and commercial premises are exposed to high levels of moisture.<\/p>\n Thanks to its UPEC <\/a>rating, a certified tile provides excellent resistance to water and maintains its performance over time.<\/p>\n 4. Easy maintenance<\/strong><\/p>\n UPEC<\/a>-certified tiles are resistant to common cleaning products and the chemical agents typically used in residential and commercial environments.<\/p>\n They are therefore particularly well suited for areas that require frequent cleaning and maintenance.<\/p>\n 5. A solution suitable for every project<\/strong><\/p>\n Whether your project involves a house, apartment, retail space, hotel, restaurant, office, or public facility, UPEC <\/a>certification helps you choose a tile perfectly suited to the level of use and stress the area will be subjected to.<\/p>\n The renewal of UPEC <\/a>certification confirms that the manufacturer continues to meet the technical requirements of the certification standards and that its products undergo regular inspections to ensure a consistent level of quality.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n At Carthago Ceramic<\/a>, quality is at the heart of our industrial approach.<\/p>\n We are proud to announce the renewal of our UPEC <\/a>certification, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to providing ceramic tiles that meet the highest standards of performance, reliability, and durability.<\/p>\n This recognition confirms our commitment to providing our customers with products capable of meeting the requirements of the most ambitious projects.<\/p>\n Why choose Carthago Ceramic?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n By choosing Carthago Ceramic<\/a>, you benefit from:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.carthagoceramic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/resistance.webp” title_text=”resistance” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Industrial expertise dedicated to residential and professional projects.<\/p>\n The choice of a ceramic tile should never be based solely on its appearance.
