Technical Specifications and Equipment
Keramik Top: plate in laminate stoneware (thickness 0,6 cm) coupled to a plate in extra clear glass (thickness 1,2 cm) for a total thickness of 1,8 cm. For the finishes in matt and glossy Portoro, the thickness of porcelain is 0,5 cm (for a total thickness of 1,7 cm). In the tables with painted edge, the top is in MDF with upper insert in stoneware with thickness of 0,6 cm (0,5 cm for matt and glossy Portoro).
Wooden Top: made in veneered MDF (model with oblique edges, thickness 4 cm for the table 200x100, 5 cm for the 240x120 and the 300x120), veneered in wood with painted edge (models with bevelled edge and with lower profile), in veneered MDF and in solid wood (model with irregular edges in solid wood, thickness 4 cm).

Bevelling: it is a processing performed on mirrors, glasses and crystals in order to finish them and smooth the edges; through this process, it is possible to create a perimeter band with a width varying from 10 to 40 mm and with an angle inferior to the standard 90 ° one (usually around of 7°). It is a very delicate and valuable process applied to precious mirrors and tops.
Heritage Oak: Oak is a great example of a recovered material and "no deforestation" policy. The beams used for this wood come from Oakwood structures belonging to old houses, stables, labs and factories which have been completely demolished, the biggest part comes from Central or Eastern Europe.
Heritage Oak products are crafted through the veneer technique, obtained by cutting selected beams after the removal of nails and other iron-based elements.
Each lot of beams is different from the other because each one of it has a different story and a different state of preservation. The previous "life" of these beams makes the "black patina" a feature of the wood cracks; moreover, the places where the nails used to be also present oxide.
Keramik Stone: the tops made of Keramik stone are manufactured with a special ceramic with a stone effect that shows shades similar to Calacatta stones (a marble characterised by soft grey, yellow- gold, or brown-pink veining); Alabaster (a rock similar to marble with shades that range from yellow to grey up to amber red) or Slate ( a grey-black rock). The lower part of the top is made of bevelled clear glass that appears black after a process of glueing.
To clean the top, we suggest using delicate liquid detergents that need to be removed with a wet sponge. If spots and rings may occur, we suggest rubbing the top with a water and baking soda solution, let such a solution have an effect for a few minutes and then wipe it with a wet sponge. Being a porous natural material, it is important to wipe dirt off in order to avoid that some substances penetrate the top.
CrystalArt: this is an extra-clear tempered and bevelled transparent glass, enriched with artwork printed on the lower part of the glass during the tempering process. The design is always the same (depending on the chosen finish), but the effect changes depending on the size of the top.
Extraclear Glass: clear glass shows a light blue-green colour like most glass, while the extra-clear glass is treated so that such a blue-green effect is considerably dimmed and can't really influence or change the colour of the objects or the CrystalArt decoration.
