Abitum

Abitum worktops are in ceramic, made from natural raw materials compacted by a special process of sintering that takes place at more than 1200°C. This process uses innovative manufacturing technologies that respect the highest environmental standards, systems to reduce the emission of odours into the air and a great deal of attention toward recycling and reusing materials: 100% of the water required and 91% of leftover raw materials.

Worktops in Abitum, with its slightly three-dimensional surface, boasts numerous characteristics that make them extremely practical. They are easy to clean, resistant to scratches, excluding those caused by ceramic knives, to stains, thermal shock, humidity, detergents and heat, to the point they can directly support hot pans without a trivet. Their compact surface does not absorb food residues or liquids and remains unaltered over time in its appearance and characteristics.

Sheets of Abitum ceramic are used in the kitchen to create worktops and can also be used for tables to create a coordinated look. The sheets are 12 mm thick large format, 1,620 x 3,420 mm, and available in a wide range of finishes, including imitations of metals, marbles and concretes.

All that is required to clean a worktop in Abitum is a microfibre cloth or soft sponge and hot water, and eventually a neutral detergent whose use should be followed by a rinse to avoid the formation of halos or surface patinas. If cleaned regularly and when residues that can stain the surface are removed rapidly, no special cleaning will be required.

Avoid the use of:

• scouring pads
• products containing abrasive creams
• hydrofluoric acid or products containing it
• products containing waxes or brighteners
