Heritage Oak: the Heritage Oak finish is a marvellous example of wood recycling and "zero deforestation". The beams, which this finish is made of, originate from oak wood frames and structures belonging to old houses, stables, utterly-demolished workshops and factories that are located mostly in Central or East Europe.
The products in Heritage Oak are made by veneering obtained from the sawing of such beams that before being sawn are selected and cleared from nails or any other iron material inside.
Once it has been sawn, each supply of beams is different from each other, because each supply has a different origin and a different conservation status. The surface is then characterised by cracks filled with black hints and oxide around the spots where nails used to be.
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.
Extra-clear 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 that can be seen by looking through the tabletop, like for example a carpet, some chairs and the very structure of the table.
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.
