TEXTURE
Corteccia texture redefines the elegance of the chestnut wood.
In the ancient peasant culture, the chestnut was considered the symbol of foresight, as it was able to feed, like a good parent, his children throughout the winter. Based on this popular belief, it used to build a chestnut wood crib to make the baby grow strong and sturdy.
Corteccia texture enhances the importance and the length of the flames, reducing their rustic appearance.
The result is a Synchro texture developed in five decoratives and available as a faced panel, laminate and edge.

ANTIBACTERICAL SURFACES
A proper cleaning of surfaces* is the most effective practice to prevent the proliferation of bacteria that can be dangerous to health.
Having antibacterial surfaces makes easier to contrast these unpleasant outbreaks.
The Cleaf collection of faced panels and laminates can provide an antibacterial treatment which, thanks to a microbiologically tested technology according to ISO 22196:2011, reduces its bacterial load by up to 99,9% within 24 hours. The silver ions incorporated in the decorative layer attract bacteria by blocking their cell reproduction.
*
Melamine surfaces are the most resistant among those used in the furniture field.
For cleaning use detergent for domestic use. It is recommended to avoid the use of spray products directly on the surface that can leave marks. It is better to apply the detergent on a soft damp cloth, clean the surfaces and then rinse it. Avoid abrasive products, bleach or highly chlorinated substances, strong acids and bases.
