Pietra di Lichtenberg and Pietralavica two new collections
The number one hi-tech slab manufacturer, Eiffelgres gives the new collections "Pietra di Lichtenberg" and "Pietralavica" their world premiere. These materials are capable of recreating the beauty of natural stone with a modern design especially for large urban projects and luxury housing.
Brightness and heat merge in the structured and satin finish surfaces of Pietra di Lichtenberg. A rendering of the distinguished lithographic limestone noted for its purity and characterised by harmonious variations in colour capable of lending to both public and residential buildings the charm and strength of the natural material in an up-to-the-minute version.
Available in both matt and patina versions, Pietralavica is the new material for the urban environment arising from the evolution of architecture, engineering and art that generate a state-of-the-art design especially for large public areas and sophisticated family homes.
"Pietra di Lichtenberg" and "Pietralavica" are the result of Eiffelgres experience and careful consideration of the studies performed by urban engineers. Architects are redesigning the cities and creating great works of architecture in both Europe and the new Eurasian markets. They meet their requirements to interact stylistically with contemporary materials (wood, steel, bronze, laminates, glass) and allow the maximum creative and design freedom with a fusion of sizes, colours and decorations capable of solving problems of space and style. At the same time they guarantee maximum resistance high-traffic areas such as: banks, shops, bars, restaurants, hotels, schools, shopping centres, airports, etc.
"Pietra di Lichtenberg" and "Pietralavica" are produced at the Eiffelgres plant, which is considered the most modern in the world, employing leading-edge technology and exclusively natural raw materials and processes in order to create perfectly sized and ground "technical vitrified stoneware" slabs, with a thickness of 11 mm to improve sound insulation resistant to wear, frost, abrasion and chemical attack, whilst offering simple installation and ease of maintenance.
