Yes, Skip Tiles are versatile and can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications, all of the tiles in the MAS range are vitrified and have a typical water absorption of 0.6% meaning they are resistant to freeze thaw action.
Yes, the Skip Tile has a weighted average specific product EPD. By avoiding spray drying, Alusid’s Mas reduces the amount of energy used by approximately 45%. This translates to a 51%* reduction of the amount of CO₂ released and 44% less water used in comparison with the average Spanish produced tile.
*CO₂ and water saving is based on published verified EPD data for GWP-total/WDP (A1-A3 cradle to gate) per m² and is a comparison of weighted average Mas tile range with the average tile from data provided by Spanish Ceramic Tile Manufacturers Association members (ASCER) published in 2024.

Alusid’s process is designed to use significantly less energy than traditional manufacturing, further reducing its environmental impact. Alusid subcontract factories in Spain use solar power where possible, but they do use a lot of energy to fire Alusid products.
Skip Tiles are manufactured using upcycled materials, reducing waste and energy consumption. Alusid’s production process aligns with sustainable practices, making the MAS range an eco-friendly choice.

Skip Tile fall under Fire Class A1 in accordance with EN 13501-1, the highest classification for fire performance in construction materials. This means the tiles are non-combustible and do not contribute to fire at any stage.
Skip Tiles have a typical wet Pendulum Test Value (PTV) of 54. This was established by third party independent testing.
Thanks to Alusid’s innovative manufacturing process, Skip Tiles are highly durable and resistant to wear. They are suitable for high-traffic areas and harsh conditions.
Skip Tiles do not require any sealing.
Yes, Skip tiles can be cut to size, they are vitrified tiles and are extremely durable and hard. We therefore recommend that Skip tiles are cut using standard diamond cutting tools typically used for porcelain with precautions taken to control dust.
Skip Tiles are easy to maintain. Regular cleaning with a mild detergent and a soft cloth or mop is sufficient.

Skip Tile has a Pendulum Test Value (PTV) of 36+.
The primary long-term failure point of a floor tile is wear resistance. Mandatory tests confirm that Skip Tile exceed the European Standard requirement for porcelain, which allows a maximum of 175 mm³ of material loss; our tiles show only 162 mm³ of abrasion.
Based on this performance, we classify the lifespan of Skip Tile as 50 years, aligning with the durability of porcelain tiles and and vitrified porcelain tiles, which typically last between 50 and 60 years.
In reality, these tiles could last for centuries. However, longevity depends on usage and conditions—tiles in a residential kitchen will experience significantly different wear than those in a busy train station concourse.
