Dekiln advances sustainable tile technology with Eralith

Dekiln CEO Dr Aled Roberts talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s progress in scaling production of its kiln-free ceramic tile alternative, Eralith. The innovative material looks, feels and performs like traditional ceramic tiles while eliminating the kiln firing step. According to Roberts, this significantly reduces energy consumption and carbon emissions. “Our flagship product, Eralith, additionally has a very high recycled content of 98%,” Roberts said. Following a successful funding round, Dekiln moved from lab-scale production, which only allowed the creation of a few tiles per day, to producing over one square metre daily. The next milestone is scaling up output to 20 square metres per day. This phase includes relocating to a larger facility and investing in industrial-scale production equipment. Roberts explained that insights from this process will support the transition to pilot-scale manufacturing. The company plans to leverage the knowledge gained from early-stage production to inform its industrial research and development strategy. Dekiln is a portfolio company of Frontier IP Group PLC (LSE:FIPP) and continues to focus on sustainable materials innovation. For more interviews and updates, visit Proactive’s YouTube channel.
