The research challenge was to design a roof tile from a functional and aesthetical point of view. Bioxide Tile includes Hematite, which is an iron mineral, twice as much as normal tiles. Bioxide Tile, comparing to tiles produced with traditional raw materials, is more resistant to natural conditions, lasts longer and is more aesthetical. Bioxide Tile has unique technical features such as: high frost resistance, improved water isolation, improved noise isolation, better heat isolation. There is no free calcite mineral in Bioxide Tile. Ettore Giordano developed this new product with ECE holding.

Ettore Giordano, lives and works in Milan. Since 2001 his main occupation deals with industrial design. A combination between design production and teaching as a professor assistant. Following a research path at the Politecnico di Milano and various foreign experiences in Spain, Turkey, Brazil and China, he is now fixed in his studio in Milano. Essential component of his work is the ability to cross several disciplines, from more architectural traditional ones to those which relate more to our times such as semiotics, cultural criticism and environmental responsibilities
