- REHAU -
RAUVISIO Crystal Glass Laminates – A Superior Finish Traditional glass is beautiful yet fragile and hard to maintain . However , REHAU ’ s RAUVISIO glass laminate collections combine elegance and practicality , offering a modern alternative that maintains the aesthetic appeal of glass with added durability .
Design Trends in Modern Spaces Contemporary interior design embraces elements that enhance comfort and functionality :
• Proximity to Nature : Floral elements and plants create a calming atmosphere , purifying the air and promoting relaxation .
• Organic Materials : Neutral tones and natural materials like terracotta , marble , wood , and clay accessories provide warmth and comfort , avoiding overwhelming colours .
• Clever Space Design : Multifunctional rooms , with flexible layouts and retractable elements , make spaces adaptable to different activities .
• Practicality : Furniture should be comfortable , easy to clean , and resistant to wear , which is why innovative materials like glass laminate are becoming increasingly popular .
RAUVISIO Crystal Glass Laminate – Superior to Glass RAUVISIO Crystal is highly regarded for its scratch resistance and durability . Unlike traditional glass , it is ten times more resistant to cracking and can be easily cut , milled , or crafted with traditional tools . It
is also lighter than glass and can bear heavy loads . Its easy maintenance is a significant advantage : no fingerprints , and cleaning is as simple as wiping with a cloth and water . The material can even be written on with a marker or chalk , depending on the finish .
Functionality and Aesthetic Appeal Good design balances practicality with aesthetic value . RAUVISIO Crystal surfaces not only perform exceptionally but also look stunning . Available in a range of finishes , the surfaces add a unique touch to any interior .
Three Versions of RAUVISIO Crystal The collection offers three distinct versions , each with a unique aesthetic :
• RAUVISIO Crystal Deep : Features a matt finish with a metallic shimmer , offering a sophisticated look and depth .
• RAUVISIO Crystal Pure : A minimalist , smooth surface in soft colours , creating transparent harmony .
• RAUVISIO Crystal Strong : The boldest version , with striking patterns like raw marble or warm wood , perfect for large surfaces that demand attention .
Each version of RAUVISIO Crystal provides exceptional functionality and refinement , ensuring a stylish and durable solution for modern interiors .
