Allschwil, Switzerland, Binningerstrasse: Floortec 2C Mineralico SL 470 in color shade 60.FM.09. In the decuspena showroom, the mineral plaster floor provides the perfect platform for showing the design options opened up by state-of-the-art mineral materials in the kitchen, bathroom and for interior decoration.
decuspena has specialized in kitchens, bathrooms and high-quality products for interior design. The common denominator across the wide range is a mineral material with solid surface in the latest generation. The material consists of around one third acrylic resin and 5% natural pigments. The main component making up 70% is the natural mineral aluminum hydroxide. The intelligent combination of acrylic, natural minerals and pigments creates a pore-free, smooth surface that is extremely easy to care for and resistant to practically all conventional chemicals. The material impresses with heat resistance, impact resistance, scratch resistance, UV resistance, and thermoplastic deformability. But the solid surface material developed by decuspena not only lives up to its reputation as a material of the latest generation with regard to material characteristics and application technique - the mineral material also fulfills the highest demands with regard to design. Whether as a work surface or sink in the kitchen, as a bathtub, shower tray, or washbasin in the bathroom, as a reception desk or sideboard – in the new showroom in Allschwil near Basel, decuspena demonstrates in the exhibited the kitchens, bathrooms and desks how high-quality mineral material can be used. The kitchen is the heart of the home. That is where people get together, eat and drink. This is why the kitchen design is a key component of the design of the home. decuspena is also the flagship store for Ernestomeda kitchens. The Italian brand is a leading name in the field of high-end designer kitchens and aims to make design and high quality accessible to a large number of people. Work surfaces and sinks are designed individually from the decuspena mineral material and create distinctive kitchens.

Modern look, jointless expanse, individual shading – and with a purely mineral-based material consisting of limestone, marble powder, and special white cement that fits perfectly with the mineral material developed by decuspena. For the decuspena showroom, Floortec 2C Mineralico SL 470 was used in the color shade 60.FM.09, a dark anthracite.
