ITALIAN CREATIVITY IN THE SERVICE OF DESIGN

ITALIAN CREATIVITY

IN THE SERVICE OF DESIGN

FROM THE DUST AN EXCELLENT ‘MADE IN ITALY’

4

The market of artificial stone actually proposes the reconstruction of the shapes and the appearance of

natural stone, utilising as a prime material inerts of different origins and a variety of binders. These, after

the various mixing stages, get poured into moulds, and the mix goes through a series of consolidation and

drying processes.

From the prime materials to the acrylic resin, from the moulds to the boxes, only Italian components and

materials are used on the VALPIETRA® production line.

The entire production process is done on site in our factory, including the natural drying procedure and the

final packaging.

Even the silicone moulds needed for the casting of the cold mixture are designed and produced in our factory.

5

THE MIX FOR A PERFECT PRODUCT

6

The manufacture of our products, has been kept at a HANDMADE level, reflecting our philosophy of envi-

ronmental sustainability pursued by our company.

In particular:

only the scraps from marble quarries along the Alps are recycled as raw material;

the marble scraps are first ground and then mixed with an acrylic resin into an aqueous solution, it is com-

pletely non-toxic and eco-friendly;

the prepared mixture is then poured cold into silicone moulds, made directly from the CAST of some va-

rieties of natural rocks, thus able to give the finished product a totally realistic and natural appearance, to the

eye and to the touch;

a step of natural drying (maturation) follows without any application of external heat and a final treatment

anti -stain protective surface.

The ‘manic’ direct care and attention to details, which encompasses the entire production process from the

conception of the molds to the last checks of a single panel prior to packaging, guarantees the quality of a new

product. This is particularly interesting for a market, which is increasingly looking for modular, easy to apply,

attractive solutions.

Not even the size and weight of the panels VALPIETRA, are left to chance: The lateral fixed joints in each model

with their various finishes, are designed to make it as quick and easy as possible to lay without the need to grout

the joints afterwards.

The reduced weight, also allows the laying of the components, even on complex surfaces, by a single contractor,

without requiring any specific attachment system, only classic adhesive for tiles.

A do-it-yourself predisposition is enough to lay our panels with ease and rapidity, to ensure a real saving of

labour costs.

7

THE INNOVATION THAT LOVES NATURE

8

In a market where competitors use cement and/or epoxy based resins, which have a severe environmen-

tal impact. It is to be emphasised that our company, with our VALPIETRA® line, is unique with a low

environmental impact; from the cold technology production of the cladding panels and the use and deve-

lopment of high performance water-based acrylic resins.

The advantage of this production process is that each manufacturing phase, does not require the use of ener-

gy therefore it could be classified as a non energetic consumption process.

The environmental impact is further significantly reduced with using natural raw materials and non-toxic

water soluble binders. This makes an eventual, disposal process equivalent the same as that of real stone, not

requiring any special disposal treatments.

The reuse of a valuable asset

Our territory, so geologically rich, offers an infinite

variety of marble and stone. These have always been

used in building and furniture manufacturing. The

waste product of these industries constitute the raw

material of the VALPIETRA® panels.

From dust an excellent “Made in Italy”

The marble scraps are ground up to obtain granules

of different sizes that will make the finished product

homogenous and uniform in colour.

A unique mix for a perfect product

The process comes together in the mixing of the

choice of particle sizes with an minimum concen-

tration of acrylic non-toxic binder. The mixture is

consolidated with the sole contribution of water. The

agglomerate acquires the technical and mechanical

characteristics, while preserving the environment.

THE PRODUCTIVE PROCESS

ecoSOSTENIBILE

72

Creativity at service of design

After the mixing stage, the mixture is poured into si-

licone molds, designed and produced directly by our

company. We can thus guarantee a unique product

that meets the requirements of a market increasingly

wanting more environmentally friendly goods wi-

thout compromising the aesthetics and design.

The natural curing

The panels, once the mixture is solidified, are ex-

tracted from the moulds. A phase of natural aging at

room-temperature follows, which requires no energy

contribution thus reducing to zero the environmental

impact of the entire production cycle of the panels.

The innovation that loves nature

The last step is the manual packaging of the VALPIE-

TRA® panel. Ensuring that they are individually, to

guarantee an excellent product in every point of view.

73

Features and Laying

74

Preparation for LayingThe VALPIETRA® panels can be laid directly on bare walls, plastered and/or painted surfaces and on any

support in the form of chipboard, adhering to the following warnings:

In general: the laying surface must be compact and free of dust and dirt. Any traces of greases, waxes, oils, enamels, varnishes, etc.,

must be removed.

concrete bases must be dry to avoid loss of adhesion

any rising damp should be dealt with and solved before laying

for installation on walls more than 3 meters in height a wire mesh must be used as a support

a double layer of glue is needed (one the wall and one on the panel) applied with a toothed spatula

In particular: bare walls: if the surface of the walls are not flush and compact then they have to be smoothed

plastered and/or painted surfaces: provide a stitching of the laying surface (in the case of not using the AV9 glue, a

primer must be used)

supports in chipboard, MDF or plasterboard must be anchored to the underlying wall, to support the total weight of

the panels (in the case of not using the glue AV9, you must use a primer)

1. Preparation of background

4. Start the laying from the

bottom corner

2. Cut the panels according to

the plan

5. Check the alignment

3. Double coating of glue with

a toothed spatula

Laying scheme

It is recommended to arrange the panels as shown in the side illustration

Laying normally commences from one of the lower corners of

the wall.

Laying starts by cutting a panel to approximately two-thirds of

its length, in such a way as to re-use the surplus third on the row

above. This ensures that the joints are staggered and an unneces-

sary waste of material.

It is recommended that you use a dry tile saw with aspiration and

avoid a wet cutting tile saw.

During the laying of the first row, is necessary to keep the panels

perfectly leveled.

OPERATING LIMITSDo not use in areas that are completely immersed in water.

Do not lay by direct heat or in contact with metal components

that reach high temperatures.

Maintain a distance of at least 30 cm in the case of laying on walls

behind pellet wood burners.

Don’t lay on walls behind directly on the heat source.
