Why choose Krion® Solid Surface for your next hospitality project?

When choosing materials for a hospitality project, there are several factors to consider that go beyond functionality and aesthetics. Considerations such as sustainability, design adaptability, and the competitive advantages offered by certain materials can make all the difference to the success and durability of the project. In this regard, Krion® LUX stands out for its unique characteristics that add value, enhancing each space in a functional and creative way. Below, we will explore some key aspects that make Krion® the ideal choice for transforming your next project into a benchmark for design, sustainability and efficiency.

Technological innovation and sustainability in the hospitality sector

Krion® LUX stands out as a sustainable option in the hospitality sector thanks to its composition based on natural minerals, such as alumina trihydrate, and high-quality resins. This combination gives it exceptional strength and durability, essential characteristics for prolonged use in high-traffic environments such as hotels. In addition, Krion® can be easily repaired, allowing it to maintain its like-new appearance, extending its useful life and minimising waste of resources. This repairability contributes to the sustainability of the material, reducing the need for replacements and promoting a more circular economy within the hospitality industry.

Krion®'s commitment to sustainability is also reflected in the Ecocycle® process, which recycles the surplus generated during the manufacture of Krion® LUX sheets, such as cutting scraps. These leftovers are transformed into chips that are reincorporated into the production process, reducing waste and promoting the circular economy, making Krion® LUX a more responsible and efficient option.

The flexibility of Krion® LUX to adapt to modern designs in hospitality

Krion® Solid Surface stands out for its great flexibility in adapting to any type of design, allowing architects and interior designers to explore endless creative possibilities. Its capacity for thermoforming allows complex curved and geometric shapes to be created with ease, opening up a range of options for the design of furniture, worktops and more. This process, which involves heating the material to mould it to size, ensures total adaptability to the needs of the project.

This chromatic variety allows you to create unique and personalised spaces that align perfectly with the aesthetics of each hospitality project, from the building's façade to the small details in the interiors.

Competitive advantages of Krion® over other materials for the hospitality industry

In any professional project, evaluating the strengths of a material is essential to ensure its long-term performance. Below, we break down the advantages of solid surface over other materials:

• Visual and functional continuity: it allows for joints without visible seams, creating monolithic surfaces ideal for wet or high-traffic areas.
• Hygiene: its bacteriostatic properties prevent the proliferation of microorganisms.
• Repairability: small cracks, surface damage or scratches can be easily restored by sanding, extending the useful life without replacing parts. In the event of major damage, a professional can repair the surface on site.
• Thermoforming: it can be moulded into curves, making it an excellent solution for wraparound designs or customised projects.
• Aesthetic stability: it is highly resistant to exposure to moisture and UV light.
• Aesthetic variety: it offers a wide range of colours and finish options, including options for backlighting.
• Zero moisture absorption: its compact and homogeneous structure prevents the penetration of liquids, making it easy to clean and maintain, even in high-traffic areas such as bathrooms, kitchens and public areas.
