ECOTONE ™

ONE STONE AHEAD

Home > Ecotone™

This has led to Ecotone™, the new generation of slabs containing recycled components, bio-based resin and less than 5% silica content*. A production process that relies heavily on energy from renewable sources, such as wind, solar and biomass. Almost complete recycling of water used by the systems. A constant commitment to research and innovation. All this to create and offer you a new generation of slabs of priceless beauty: Ecotone™

There is a growing need to reconsider the relationship between natural and artificial to create spaces where materials of different natures coexist and enhance each other. Quartzforms^® took this concept further through research and experimentation, making the first Ecotone™ slabs with a more sustainable formula to reduce their environmental impact.

Collections Ecotone

This has led to Ecotone™, the new generation of slabs containing recycled components, bio-based resin and less than 5% silica content^*. In nature, an ecotone is a transition area between two ecosystems or distinct entities; similarly, this collection aims to represent a transition from a traditional manufacturing process to one that is more respectful of our planet.

The New Era collection debuts with eight new Ecotone™ slabs, embodying the know-how and unparalleled visual appeal that have always been the distinguishing features of Quartzforms^®. The fusion of various elements results in their revival in renewed forms: this is the timeless fascination of transformation. New, stylish colours with varying degrees of veining but always running through the thickness, preserving performance and durability with the added bonus of a more environmentally friendly formulation.
