Innovation and industry leadership are central to the Design Week awards. KT's Design-Driven Pioneer Brand recognition acknowledges its wood-effect design capabilities. Over 21 years, KT has recreated classic and rare timber grains with detailed natural textures and nine mould technologies. Slip resistance, wear resistance, stain resistance and easy cleaning sit alongside artistic expression. Standard, extra-large and custom formats serve residential and commercial projects, offering designers a broad resource for natural aesthetics.
Understanding 5A: What Does the Standard Mean? As the highest tile quality grade under the new national standard, 5A sets exceptionally demanding requirements:
Compliance across 10 core indicators, covering dimensional accuracy, wear and stain resistance, radioactivity requirements and other performance measures.
5A assesses more than an individual product. Manufacturers must demonstrate the ability to consistently produce high-quality products across the whole process, from raw material proportions and intelligent firing to quality testing and after-sales service. KT sees this standardised system as part of its responsibility to advance quality in high-end wood-effect tiles.
