Natural Stone

The charm of the material and the exclusivity of the lightest stone door in the world

Thanks to the special technology of Valcucine’s Artematica® door, composed of an anodized aluminum structural frame and an aesthetic panel just 5 mm thick, we are able to offer the lightest natural stone kitchen on the market. The integration of a composite honeycomb panel with carbon fiber also ensures its solidity, increasing resistance to impacts.

The innovative Artematica® door, which has marked a turning point in the kitchen world, allows the use of natural stone without compromising the performance of the base drawer guides (even up to 120 cm) and the hinges of base units, wall units, columns, and, most importantly, the dishwasher, over time.

Incomparable tactile sensation

The charm of stone surfaces is also due to their material appearance, which is pleasant to the touch. The finishes chosen by Valcucine further enhance the sense of depth and consistency of each stone, showcasing its natural beauty and highlighting its characteristics.

Stain resistance

Natural stones, by their nature, have different technical characteristics and may absorb substances they come into contact with differently, making them prone to staining. Because they can be slightly absorbent, Valcucine applies a special water- and oil-repellent treatment to all natural stone surfaces, enhancing their resistance to stains. To maintain the effectiveness of this treatment, it is advisable to apply a transparent stain-protective product specifically designed for natural stone at least once a year, available from our authorized dealers. For each type of natural stone, we invite you to consult our Guidelines to take care of and clean surfaces

Attention to detail

At Valcucine, we ensure that all natural stone surfaces in our kitchens maintain the continuity of the grain by carefully checking every detail, both during acceptance and throughout the processing stages. Every material, including the natural stone doors, is treated with the utmost care to preserve its integrity and aesthetic qualities. Additionally, to ensure safe and damage-free shipping, we use special packaging with protective cages and additional protection, ensuring the product always reaches the customer in perfect condition.

Continuity of veining

For all surfaces of natural stone kitchens, an acceptance check is carried out to ensure integrity and, for all adjacent faces, vein continuity where possible.
This check is repeated at the end of all processing stages to ensure full conformity of the product shipped

Care in the handling of materials

All the materials in Valcucine, including the natural stone doors, from the moment they are received to the moment they are packed, are handled with the utmost care and with special surfaces that preserve their integrity and aesthetic qualities.

Packaging and shipping

To ensure integrity during each stage of handling and shipping.
All natural stone tops and doors are packed with special protective cages made of wood or chipboard, depending on the destination.
The doors are additionally protected with perimeter protection and wrapped in bubble wrap.

Unique and inimitable

Natural stone boasts inimitable aesthetic features due to the intense expressivity of its texture, full of slight differences in shade which make every slab unique and unrepeatable to the extent that even two samples of the same slab are sometimes not the same. Any inclusions and differences in vein, colour and symmetry are totally unpredictable and must be considered as intrinsic features of the material and expressions of its uniqueness i.e. unequivocal proof that the material actually is natural stone.
