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.
The perfect continuity of porcelain stoneware
All-Body is the outcome of our research and development applied to 163×324 cm porcelain stoneware slabs in 12 mm thickness, engineered to carry the colour tone of the surface right through the body of the slab. The body is enriched with chromatic variation and mineral inclusions of varying grain sizes, faithful to the stone that inspired them, so that the interior of the slab reproduces the same chromatic characteristics as the surface. The end result is seamless continuity between surface, edge and core, which show sto full advantage in cutting, drilling and finishing, and makes the slab ideal for furnishing applications such as kitchen and bathroom worktops, tables and bespoke furniture.
Body with mineral inclusions true to the colour of the natural stone
Aesthetic continuity across surface, edge and full slab thickness
Complete design freedom that turns cut edges into a feature in furniture
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
Sophisticated,
enchanting luminous effect
The ALL-LIGHT effect, derived from sophisticated graphic design, reproduces the effect of natural backlighting and gives the surface a luminous radiance of great loveliness. Its elegant, modern appearance is ideal for striking, luxurious interior design projects.
Dramatic visual impact
Graphic textures with a luminous radiance
Surfaces with varying interplays of light
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.
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
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.
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
