Other technologies
Technologies for high-performance, high-quality surfaces. Solutions designed to offer aesthetic effects and technical characteristics that meet the requirements of installation, use and durability in different design contexts.
Splendidly bright and infinitely precious
The Crystal technology enriches surfaces with a special shine and transparency, generated by a precious mix of tiny particles of crystals and pearly pigments, refracting the light in an infi nity of constantly changing ways. The patterning textures acquire vastly greater brightness and depth. This technology gives surfaces iridescence that changes with the light, generating an effect of exquisite splendour.
Sophisticated decorations are enriched with golden gleams perceptible to the touch
Luminescent material applications with a rich, tactile thickness accentuate the depth of variegated decorations, transforming ceramic surfaces into refi ned textures with glints of gold. Thanks to the Precious technology, decorations acquire a deep refl ectance, with colors and textures becoming more vivid and bright. The raised golden effects elegantly enhance every detail.
3D Texture with intense material realism
Fondovalle is heralding a new era in the production of porcelain stoneware thanks to 3D Texture, a highly innovative digital technology that offers a deep material quality, producing a three-dimensional effect on surfaces to accurately resemble the wood that inspired them. 3D Texture technology permits perfect synchronisation between different applications and materials with extraordinarily realistic effects and depth of detail. The result is the fruit of investment and painstaking research, enhancing the three-dimensionality of the pressed mix; colours and textures synergistically harmonise and the surfaces acquire an authenticity perceptible to both touch and sight.
Three-dimensionality
Depth of detail
Striking naturalness and realism
Introducing the perfectly matt finish with a velvety touch
Real Matt technology lends porcelain stoneware a highly matt fi nish (much more so than the unworked fi nish), guaranteeing maximum softness to the touch and ease of cleaning. The result of constant passionate experimentation with ceramics, this technology removes absolutely all refl ections from the tiles. Featuring layer upon layer of only the most select materials and very low levels of gloss, the body of these tiles renders the appearance of their natural counterparts and their multiple shading effects with an absolute realism.
Ultra matt surfaces with no reflections
Three-dimensional aesthetic
Soft and easy to clean
Extremely natural-looking
Maximum durability
Three-dimensional effects and a very natural matt finish
Matt&Deep is an exclusive production technology applied in processing the mixes that form our porcelain stoneware. It makes the surface extremely matt, while enhancing the three-dimensional appearance of graphic motifs and structures. Overlays of selected materials and pigments with very low gloss levels blend deep in the ceramic substrate, providing ever-varying shading effects that make the interpretation of natural materials perfectly real.
Very low degree of refl ection
Three-dimensional aesthetic
Soft and easy to clean
Highly variable
Optimum stress resistance
Through-body veining for a continuous aesthetic
The through-body ALL-VEIN applied to MyTop large slabs in 20 mm thickness is the outcome of a leading-edge production process that amalgamates the ingredients of the tile body mix through its entire thickness and achieves continuity between the surface and body of the slab. The result is the accurate total-body reproduction of the effect of the inspiration material, even in case of the cutting, drilling or trimming often necessary to create interior design features such as kitchen and bathroom countertops and table tops. The end product is unrivalled in the amazing visual and functional continuity of its surface and edges, with a versatility that makes it perfect for design solutions of sheer natural beauty.
