The present description relates to a ceramic plate coated with a polymeric material doped with hollow microspheres, to the obtaining method and uses thereof, in particular in the construction field.In particular, a ceramic plate with polymeric coating, wherein the polymeric coating comprises at least one polymer and up to 30% (m/m) of hollow glass microspheres with a size inferior to 90 microns, that allows the reduction of a cold feeling.In order to improve cold feeling, the present description further relates to ceramic coating plates with printed and encapsulated heating elements interconnected between plates by means of coupling elements, in particular a ring and heating systems, use thereof, in particular in the construction field. Said coupling elements ensure an easy functionalization of ceramic plates in particular for heating purposes.
