Surfalite 7MM Advanced Surface Slabs are the Future of Wet Wall Applications
In an industry where trends are constantly evolving, Santamargherita S.p.A’s 7 mm advanced surface, Surfalite, has blended groundbreaking technology with consumer insights to create a surface that is unlike any other on the wet wall surfaces market.
Surfalite combines positive qualities from all of the most popular wet wall surfaces, such as laminate, solid surface, acrylic, fiberglass, porcelain, ceramic and natural stone into a flawless material for surrounding and protecting baths and showers. The resulting surface is resistant to mold, mildew, abrasion, heat, cracks, and dings, while never needing sealing or grouting, all with easy repairability.
“Just as colored tiles and cultured marble were both popular and inspiring surfaces in their times, we at Santamargherita have been working on creating the surface of the future, and market research is showing that consumers prefer the look and feel of engineered stone slabs and porcelain for wet wall applications,” said Vice President of Sales Michele Caneva. “Surfalite combines the lightness of porcelain with the durability of engineered stone.”
Available in large format slabs 130 inches by 65 inches by ¼ inch (330 cm by 165 by 0.7 cm), Surfalite’s unique composition and thinness allow it to maintain a lightweight 3.5 pounds per square foot (17 kilos per square meter) that can be installed in any scenario, granting unlimited creativity to designers and architects.
The advanced surface’s initial range of 16 colors is inspired by natural stone, with more designs coming later this year.
