Innovations

NATURA-VEIN™ TECH REPRODUCES THE LOOK OF NATURAL MARBLE.

The vein pattern is reproduced through the full thickness of the slab, guaranteeing perfectly consistent surface and body. This exclusive technology can also be applied to Atlas Plan slabs with a thickness of 20 mm. Just as in natural marble, in our slabs too, the vein pattern of the body of the slab follows that of the surface decoration, which is why Atlas Plan products with through-body vein have random graphics.

Natura-body tech: the texture of natural stone throughout the entire slab.

Natura-Body Tech is an exclusive technology ideal for use any type of environment, residential or commercial, in which continuity is a requirement. Full-body porcelain stoneware is a product composed of the same material throughout, compact and homogeneous. A particular processing technique that guarantees aesthetic permanence even if the upper layer sustains damage.

This exclusive technology can also be applied to Atlas Plan slabs with a thickness of 20 mm and 12 mm.
