Technical Specifications and Features
Wooden top: wood veneered with slanted edges, 3.8 cm thick, also in the version with central ceramic insert. The insert is made of 0.6 cm thick porcelain stoneware coupled with a 1 cm thick sheet of tempered glass.
Glass top: tempered as per accident prevention regulations, extra-clear transparent and/or back-lacquered. The extra-clear and/or back-lacquered glass top is 1.2 cm thick for 180/200 tops and round models, while it is 1.5 cm thick for tables larger than 240/300/320 cm. The hammered glass top and extendable tops, on the other hand, are 1 cm thick.
Ceramic Top: 0.6 cm thick porcelain stoneware coupled with 1 cm thick tempered glass plate. Easy to clean and resistant to scratches, wear and tear and high temperatures. In the version with rounded lacquered wood undercounter, the top is 5.6 cm thick.
Marble top: 2 cm thick with slanted edges coupled with a 2.5 cm thick black wooden undersurface. Natural marble slabs carefully selected and processed to enhance the colours: each top should be seen as a unique piece, with the possible variation of veining and colour.
Undercounter/Base combinations for XL models
XL ceramic tables (shaped 340 x 119, 400 x 119, 460 x 119 cm) do not always have an under-top to match the base. The table below shows the correct combinations for each finish.

Material Specifications
Marble: an elegant material, characterised by open veins that can sometimes have resin-based fillings that even out the top in the case of slight surface roughness, while at the same time guaranteeing greater structural resistance. Being natural stone with an age that sometimes exceeds one million years, the top cannot be defined as 'perfect': each slab is different from the other with more or less marked veins, depending on the cutting and polishing processes. It may present natural micro imperfections, a characteristic of marble and not attributable to defects. Marble tops are naturally porous: any protective polyester treatment hides this porosity to the touch, leaving all the natural features of the slab visible.
Hammered glass: this is obtained by working the slab in a melting furnace (this is why it is also called 'fired glass'). The sheet that has already been moulded is in fact heated and then left to cool: as it cools, the glass 'relaxes', acquiring the particular texture: the effect that results is a wavy surface reminiscent of wrought iron, rich and textured both to the eye and to the touch, which gives a pleasant play of light, shadows and reflections.
