Activ selfcleaning glass



Pilkington Activ™ Self-Cleaning Glass uses the forces of nature to maintain its clear appearance without leaving unsightly streaks. Dirt is broken down by daylight and is then washed away by rain, thus making it environmentally friendly and very easy to maintain.

The glass uses a microscopic coating with a unique dual-action. The first stage is "photocatalytic" - the coating reacts with daylight to break down organic dirt. The second stage is "hydrophilic" - instead of forming droplets, rainwater hits the glass and spreads evenly, running off in a "sheet" and taking the loosened dirt with it, also drying quickly without leaving streaks. The self-cleaning glass can also be combined with a range of different products to offer many additional benefits (such as thermal, solar and noise control).




Amur





These natural limestone tiles come in 4 different sizes, each tile is in a square pattern with an off centered rectangular base. The rectangular patterns have an off centered square base.

These details, along with the repeated pattern assembly to facilitate the laying, allows to create a wall of a diversified scheme placing each tile randomly or with the off centered base in different positions.

This unique collaboration of dark and light shades in this pattern is intended to form more than a standard natural stone wall.

Upon request, other patterns with the same technique can be produced.

They can substitute the three dimensional panels made of wood or similar in high humidity zones so they can be used for exterior application.

The materials can be used in cold locations.

Sizes:

- 20×20cm
- 20×40cm
- 40×40cm
- 40×60cm

Antolini





With the increasing interest in unusual stones, which by their nature tend to have structural problems, Antolini is using a special process to ensure the structural strength of all these stones. This format is AVP (Antolini Vacuum Process). The process starts with the block, which is consolidated with the resin under vacuum and pressure. Once sawn the slabs are reinforced with resin again, so that even the micro porosities on the surface are completely filled. The AVP produces a structural slab that can be used in any application.

Direx


UV Direct Printing (UV-Direktdruck) is a method of Large Format Printing. The main difference to conventional HPL digital printing (water based) is that the ink does not penetrate into the material, but is a layer on the material to be printed. This makes it possible to print on almost any material.
