Why Cerbras Ceramics Is the Perfect Choice for Guyana’s Construction Growth

In today’s construction landscape, where sustainability, durability, and design appeal converge, few names carry as much weight as Cerbras Ceramics. As one of Brazil’s largest manufacturers of premium porcelain and ceramic tile, Cerbras has earned a global reputation for excellence since its founding.

🏭 Based in Maracanaú, Ceará, the factory produces over 40,000 m² of tiles annually using fully automated Italian equipment. Each product combines cutting-edge technology with timeless elegance.

For builders and designers in Guyana and across the Caribbean — where rapid development is reshaping skylines from Georgetown to Bridgetown — Cerbras is not just tile; it is sustainable material built for tropical challenges like heat, humidity, UV exposure, and even seismic conditions.

A Legacy of Quality and Global Recognition

Founded in 1990, Cerbras has grown from a bold startup into a certified global exporter, serving more than 30 countries. The company holds prestigious certifications, including ISO 9001:2015 for Quality Management and ISO 14001:2015 for Environmental Management. Each tile is accredited by INMETRO, ensuring strict compliance with international standards for consistency, safety, and sustainability.

What sets Cerbras apart is its fully automated production process, minimizing waste while guaranteeing consistent quality. Italian technology allows intricate reproductions of marble, wood, and stone textures, all with low water absorption (<0.5%) and high PEI ratings (up to class 4). For Caribbean projects exposed to monsoons, salty coastal air, and heavy foot traffic, these features translate to longevity and reduced maintenance costs.

Proven in Brazil’s own coastal resorts, Cerbras tiles endure salty air and heavy use for decades. Now, they are perfectly aligned with Guyana’s growing residential, hospitality, and infrastructure projects.
