Wood

TEAK: High quality material suitable for outdoor furniture because it is extremely resistant to changes in temperature, water, humidity and saltiness.
IROKO: particular type of wood with numerous mechanical, physical and technological properties: its resistance to external stress and workability despite its hardness. The particular stability and medium-high hardness give this wood a good flexural strenght resistance to deformation and guarantee excellent durability.
MAHOGANY: It is a wood with remarkable mechanical, physical and structural properties. It is a compact and solid wood, which does not undergo alterations over time, but which tends to espond well to wear, compression and bending. Its features of solidity and compactness are accompanied by those of longevity, beauty and resistance to thermal changes.
STONEWOOD: thanks to its high quality and its particular technical characteristics it can be employed in many different ways, but always in very high quality contexts. In particular, it is preferably used for the creation of high-quality furniture. Compact wood, easy to process, does not splinter, it is light, reddish brown, it has an aromatic smell because it contains a characteristic essential oil rich in camphor.
ACCOYA: Accoya is the result of over 75 years of research and development, it is created from sustainably sourced softwood and it undergoes a patented and non-toxic process known as “acetylation” that permanently modifies the wood at its core, increasing the dimensional stability and durability of the material. The result is an environmentally friendly solid wood with specific features that matches and exceeds even the best tropical hardwood.

Maintenance: Being a natural material, colour variations or even cracks due to the degree of humidity and sudden changes in temperature may be observed. If no maintenance treatment is received, through the periodic application of common and specific protective oil-based, the surface may take a silver-gray patina that can be easily removed with a light surface sanding down and subsequent polishing with a jute cloth. Small superficial stains due to oil or other food products must be removed promptly, before the wood can absorb them in depth, sanding down the affected surface and then polishing it with a jute cloth.

SYNTHETIC ROPES

Double braid made with polyester core and multi-filament propylene cover.
The external fiber is waterproof and resistant to UV rays.

Maintenance: It is recommended to clean with a neutral product and a non-abrasive cloth.

ELASTIC BELT

Obtained through the weaving of synthetic materials especially conceived outdoor use.

Maintenance: We recommend to avoid prolonged contact with greasy substances and / or dyes which could be absorbed by the covering material used and consequently cause permanent stains and risk to deteriorate the structure of the yarn. It is advisable it is suggested to avoid the use of solvents. Use water and non-abrasive liquid detergents with neutral PH and colourless.

FIBRE CEMENT

Any imperfection related to shades of color, surface cracks or porosity will correspond to the standard and will not be considered valid exceptions in this regard.

Maintenance: For proper maintenance it is recommended to clean the surface with a non-abrasive cloth. Small surface spots due to oil, coffee, wine and other food products must be removed promptly. In the case of resistant stains, cleaning with products containing vinegar.

Stone

Marble is certainly one of the most precious and used stones for the outdoor.
Marble, thanks to its particular composition and nature, is a little porous and not absorbing stone, hardness and resistance, making marble one of the most precious and durable stones in time.
The marble formation takes place by means of a metamorphic crystallization process: calcium carbonate, coming into contact with the sedimentary rocks, gives rise to a set of crystals of calcite and various minerals, which determine the complexion.

Maintenance: To maintain the shine of marble and granite it is necessary to clean the surfaces daily: it is sufficient to dilute the neutral soap in warm water.
The surfaces must be rubbed with a sponge or a soft cloth. It will be sufficient to rinse with a damp cloth, being careful not to leave detergent stains.

PORCELAIN STONEWARE

Porcelain stoneware, thanks to its excellent physical and flexural strenght, turns out to be ideal for outdoor use, being unaffected by atmospheric agents and unalterable to UV rays. This material is obtained through the synthesis process of ceramic clays, feldspars, kaolins and sand.

Maintenance: For the cleaning of stoneware tops it is advisable to use a damp cloth with water and a neutral detergent to be rinsed and dried with a dry cloth. During the washing phase, pay particular attention to avoid the accumulation of dirt.

Lava stone

Lava is a robust, consistent and easy-to-maintain material made by hand-glazing lava stone or stoneware slabs. It is a process that combines technology and traditional craftsmanship in which time and temperature are wisely balanced, giving unexpected peculiarities to the surface. The colors, transparent and bright, applied with manual processes, allow to capture, among their shades, the porosity and imperfections of the stone. The slight variations in thickness and color shades are therefore prestige values that make each product unique.
The ¬ring at high temperatures and the glass, completely recycled through an exclusive crushing and grinding process, improves the surface in its technical characteristics, able to meet all the needs of outdoor living.

Vitter

Vitter is the latest generation compact laminate formaldehyde-free caractherized by a durable surface, with the unique feature of being full colour, inside and outside.
