A solution adopted by Gieffe for our models, simple to explain and certainly appreciable by every customer and market partner. In fact, these are cutting-edge materials with first-rate physical and aesthetic characteristics.
Thanks to their physical characteristics, Mineralmarmo or Silestone bathroom tops are the best on the market.
But let's see together what the characteristics of these two materials are and why they are perfect as options for bathroom tops.
Mineralmarmo. The new surface for a top of the highest quality
Mineralmarmo® is a mineral compound obtained from a paste of Dolomite, recycled PET resin and technical polish, available in both a matt finish - natural stone effect - and a glossy finish with a mirror-like surface.
Mineralmarmo® is an extremely resistant material, even to scratches, and it is also perfect for daily steam sanitisation, according to the highest standards of the most demanding countries, such as Germany. But the most interesting aspect is that it can be processed with a technical polish with virus-proof properties (tested with Sars-Cov-2). In addition, Mineralmarmo elements are antibacterial because they are photocatalytic and recyclable.
• Stain resistance: a damp non-abrasive cloth or sponge and common detergents are sufficient to remove most stains, limescale and dirt normally deposited on the surface.
• Scratch and abrasion resistance: Unique resistance rating;
• Colour and UV resistance: due to its compositional characteristics, the resistance of the colour is unparalleled, so much so that "pure white" is guaranteed to resist over time without losing any form of use.
Silestone. As resistant and ultra-compact as quartz
After the bathrooms with Mineralmarmo tops, let's see the characteristics of another material that can be used: Silestone.
This is a material made of quartz and resins and it is extremely resistant and durable.
Perfect for use in bathrooms because of its durability and low porosity, it is available in a variety of colours.
The installation of Silestone tops makes it possible to reduce joints to a minimum for a better aesthetic effect and greater hygiene.
Its main characteristics, which make it a respectable option for bathroom tops are:
• Stain resistance: being a low porosity surface Silestone does not absorb liquids. Stains slide off the surface easily
• Acid resistance: made of 94% quartz, one of the hardest minerals, Silestone is very resistant to external attack.
• Impact resistance: Silestone, more than other materials, is impact resistant.
• Scratch resistance: Quartz makes Silestone a material with excellent scratch resistance.
• Availability of colours: Silestone is available in many variations to meet all aesthetic requirements.
In conclusion, Mineralmarmo® and Silestone are two innovative materials that are resistant and aesthetically very good.
