Masterwood: processing proposed exclusively by Cattelan Italia, which consists in the creation of tops with strips - different in size and grain - positioned diagonally. The result is an ever-changing texture and colour rendering so that each table can be considered a unique piece.
Extra-clear crystal: transparent crystal tends to the classic "blue-green" colour of all glass, while extra-clear crystal is treated in such a way as to considerably limit this "blue-green" effect and not influence or change any other tint of the objects seen through the table top; for example a rug, the chairs or the structure itself.
Bevelling: this is a process carried out on mirrors, glass and crystal in order to refine them and round off the edges; through this process a perimeter band is created with a width varying from 10 to 40 mm and with an angle of less than the standard 90° (generally 7°). This is a very delicate and precious process that is carried out on highly valuable mirrors and tops.
Keramik Stone: Keramik stone tops are made of a special stone-effect ceramic that picks up on the natural shades of stone. The underside of the top is made of transparent bevelled glass, which turns black after the bonding process.
When cleaning the top, it is recommended not to use steam machines or abrasive products. We recommend the use of mild liquid detergents, which should be removed with a wet sponge. In the case of stains or marks, it is recommended to rub the top with a solution of bicarbonate and water, which should be left to act for a few minutes and then wiped off with a wet sponge. As it is a porous natural material, it is important to remove the dirt immediately to prevent substances from penetrating the top.
Hammered glass: this is obtained by working the sheet 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.
