TRANSCRIPT
SPECIALIST IN BIO-UV TECHNOLOGYThose looking for a bespoke outdoor kitchen undoubtedly already have a dream design in mind. Perhaps a bang-on trend marble look, a classic dark natural stone or a surface that glistens in the sunlight …but have you thought about the UV-resistance (and in turn the aesthetic sustainability) of your chosen material? Our researchers have done so for you, by developing D-Quartz featuring pioneering BIO-UV Technology.
Ecological featuresD-Quartz is unique as we use BIO resins containing plant-based ingredients. Whatever colour of quartz composite you choose, rest assured your Diresco worktop will be ‘green’.
Resistant to UV raysGreat news for outdoor kitchen enthusiasts: Diresco can match any design brief and can guarantee it won’t fade in UV rays thanks to our innovative D-Quartz UV Technology. Making our product range eminently suitable for American-style outdoor kitchens.
From composite flooring to façade claddingGiven that this innovative feature is already incorporated in our composite, all our indoor products boast this added UV protection bonus too: floors, stairs, wall tiles …. All are technologically resistant to UV rays. Moreover, BIO-UV yields extra versatility in the Diresco product range.
