At Cersaie 2024, the area dedicated to the City of Tiling extends over a surface area of ​​over 400 square meters set up inside pavilion 32. Following the common thread of the relationship between man and technology, the new concept of the installation defines new spaces and paths.

The central area of ​​the stand is divided into three parts:

  • the exoskeletons being tested that help installers reduce physical wear and tear and recover mobility after accidents, improving working conditions and the quality of operations.
  • the precise and accessible cutting machines, compact in size, silent and easy to use, that can be installed in any location, making the installer's job easier.
  • the projection technologies that overcome space limitations digitally show how products adapt to environments, improving the purchasing experience and facilitating the choice of materials and installation patterns in points of sale.

The institutional space of Assoposa

Another important area within the City of Installation is occupied by Assoposa (National Association of Ceramic Installers and Retailers), which every day communicates with operators by promoting the Tiler Installer Certification, according to Standard 11493-2.

A special area will also be dedicated to Assoposa Academy, the Association's training activity, with the exhibition of environments and furnishing products that can be created with ceramic products of all sizes.

The conference program

Furthermore, the area dedicated to conferences will host technical seminars on the installation of large ceramic slabs aimed at architects and designers. Participation guarantees architects, engineers and surveyors the acquisition of professional training credits.

Formedil

The information desk of Formedil (the single national training and safety body) will be an opportunity to update on the latest training proposals from Italian construction schools, including those aimed at ceramic installers, the result of the Agreement signed between Formedil, Assoposa and Confindustria Ceramica.

Casa Radio

The Casa Radio radio station (www.casaradio.it), specialized in the world of home and living, will be active at the Città della Posa with a dedicated station. To give voice to the stories and innovations of the companies, live interviews will be broadcast on each of the five days of the fair, subsequently available in podcast format on a channel dedicated to Cersaie 2024.

Three conferences are also scheduled for the 2024 edition of Cersaie, all at 12:00, on specific topics in the construction world:

Bathroom Installation at Cersaie

In the outdoor area, on a surface of more than 90 square meters, between pavilion 32 and pavilion 37, the initiative "Bathroom Installation at Cersaie" will take place. Here, 4 teams of installers from Italy, Switzerland, Denmark and Brazil will try their hand at installing ceramic surfaces for the creation of various bathroom environments. The initiative - which follows the 2023 "Young Installers at Cersaie" - is made possible thanks to the collaboration between Cersaie, Confindustria Ceramica, EUF (European installers' association) and the individual installers' associations of the participating countries.
