Congratulations to Chris, Cherina and Benjo on the launching of Ecocarat in the Philippines!!! How I wish we had all these choices when we were renovating our house

You won’t miss the showroom in the right side of Ortigas before La Salle Greenhills

My beautiful friend, Cherina!  Congrats dear!! Take note of the wall behind her from Ecocarat 🙂

Cherina told me that they brought in Ecocarat since they were building their buildings, condos and homes.  Wow! Hopefully those will be featured here in Heart2Heart! 🙂

The beauty with Ecocarat is it absorbs moisture so especially for vacation homes which you leave for long periods of time,  there won’t be any smell.

Giveaways:         Air plants in glass containers to match the eco-friendly theme.

We were made to spray the wall and i noticed that there would be no signs of water or anything wet!  AMAZING!!! Leave it to the Japanese to invent something like this! 

Tessa points out Humidity and Aroma testing areas.  Guests spray water onto the Eocarat wall displays to see how quickly Ecocarat absorbs the water.   Guests also try out the test jars of coffee beans. The ones with just coffee beans have a strong coffee smell while those coffee beans mixed with Ecocarat have no smell.

Ecocarat is a revolutionary indoor ceramic wall tile that outperforms any tile in the market both aesthetically and functionally. Known as Japan’s “breathing design tile”, it is made from a new and eco-friendly material called “soil ceramics” and a special clay mineral called “allophane” that consists of innumerable micro-pores. This special material allows ECOCARAT to start cleaning the air by breaking down toxic substances emitted by building materials and furniture.
