Vitrum: Valcucine’s glass

Valcucine is the first company to have used glass in kitchen arrangements, opening up revolutionary prospects full of beauty and technology. Glass is a very expressive, precious and beautiful material. Apparently
fragile but intrinsically tough and resistant, capable of transmitting sensations of unexpected and astonishing lightness, glass is presented in an endless array of options with continuously-changing colours and surprising tactile sensations.

RESISTANCE

Vitrum is the result of specific tests and treatments aimed at putting glass under stress to further enhance its performances. Thanks to the tempering process this glass becomes five times more resistant than normal and – in the event it should shatter – breaks into tiny, blunt pieces.

AN ECO-SUSTAINABLE CHOICE

Thanks to research and an eco-conscious use of materials, glass becomes the utmost expression of eco-sustainable design, making it possible to manufacture 100% recyclable products that are as dematerialised as possible, have no formaldehyde emissions and guarantee a long technical and aesthetic life.

PRACTICAL, EASY TO CLEAN AND LONG-LASTING

In addition to having remarkable aesthetic features, glass guarantees excellent stain and limescale resistance. It can’t swell or burn. It’s hygienic, cannot become a breeding ground for mould or bacteria and is easy to clean. Very few materials, like glass, remain untouched by the ravages of time.

COLOURS THAT LAST FOREVER

Valcucine have performed years of research aimed at guaranteeing uniform, long-lasting colours. Sophisticated studies and excellent technical skills have lead to the development of the first lacquer ever that preserves its colour unaltered over time and ensures excellent adherence.

NON TOXIC

To protect glass surfaces and make sure colours remain unaltered over time, we at Valcucine adopt water-based lacquering cycles that reduce the presence of synthetic solvents and completely do away with aromatic ones, which are thought to be very carcinogenic.

CUSTOMISABLE

Our glass is available in a wide range of colours and three finishes: gloss, matt and with etched areas. Moreover, special processing techniques devised exclusively by us at Valcucine give glass sensations that are forever new and different: Graphic features designs inspired by nature, Mimesis, imitates stone, Tactile is capable of transmitting evocative sensorial experiences Textile, features a vibrant weave, Velato delivers a translucent effect and Arte is like hand-woven fabric that can be customised using a design provided by the customer to make each kitchen unique. The endless array of finishes available for our glass ensures that you always find the ideal style to suit your taste and lifestyle.
