Although any space, which is in contact with people has to have certain hygiene and safety conditions, there are some places where health standards have to be extremely high indeed.
We are talking about sanitary spaces, where every single detail which may affect the hygiene of the space is taken... into account. Whether they are clinics, hospitals, medical consultations or beauty salons; healthcare atmospheres need to bank on materials, tools and protocols which ensure bacteria-free spaces with no contaminants. The ease of contagion, along with the susceptibility of the people that go to a medical centre, results in stronger measures being taken. Thus, businessmen, architects and interior designers are increasingly banking on those solutions which enhance safety for people.
Because of the need of becoming familiarised with the materials which benefit the atmospheres related to health, Hospitecnia, the prestigious architecture, engineering and hospital management website has published an article about Krion® K·Life 1100 and how the material creates better hospital atmospheres.
The benefits of Krion® K·Life in Healthcare spaces
The main requirement for a material to be used in public spaces is that of having been given a number of certifications by independent organizations which ensure the safety of the facilities and people alike. Krion counts on the EPD (Environmental Product Declaration): with the ecolabel type III which focuses on the impact studies during the whole service life of the material, detailing the impact which is produced in each stage of the service life.
Among the huge number of benefits of Krion® K·Life 1100 for the health sector, professionals highlight the following:
Bacteriostatic surface: Krion® does not allow bacteria to spread, something which is extremely important in an environment where the infection probabilities are very high.
Easy-to-clean properties: Its almost zero porosity means Krion® stops dirt and contaminants getting into the material. The lack of joints is also helpful for easy cleaning since there are no hard-to-reach areas where dirt can build up.
Resistance to chemicals: Health spaces have to ensure that the hygiene in the place is absolute by all means.This is the reason why materials with aggressive compounds which disinfect and kill bacteria are generally used. Krion® is resistant to these types of materials, therefore, the integrity of the surface and the durability are guaranteed.
The ability to customise: In hospital centres, covering the needs which ensure the wellbeing of people is paramount. The thermoforming properties by our solid surface help with its adaption to the environment, based on the established professional requirements.
The Krion® solid surface brings together the most important properties from our clients point of view, but, Krion® K·LIFE 1100, these benefits have significantly increased, up to the point where they make the environment better for people, something which is essential in any atmosphere. Read more
...如今,台面与表面材料不再只是切割或操作的工作区域;它们已成为建筑与室内设计中的关键要素。这些材料不仅要满足实用功能,还应能影响空间的美感与使用体验——无论是在风格层面还是在使用层面。在这样的背景下,设计师与建筑师正在寻找既具多功能性又具视觉冲击力的表面解决方案。
此外,2025 年的趋势,正如专注于家居装饰的记者 Marta Sanz 在 《El Mueble》杂志中所指出的:
“今年的执念不仅在于美学,也在于材料如何影响人们对空间的感知。丝滑触感、哑光饰面与自然色调,是打造和谐且现代氛围的关键”
在此背景下,Krion® Colors 提供了理想的解决方案:它拥有丰富的色彩选择,可适配 各种规模的项目,如厨房、浴室或其他空间,并能与其他材料或装饰元素轻松融合。
Krion® LUX 的 板材采用 solid surface 材质,其一大优势在于不易褪色且经久耐用;得益于矿物成分,它对撞击与开裂具有很强的抵抗力。再加上可修复再生与通体同质(全质)特性,使 solid surface 能更长久地保持如初的状态。
此外,Krion® 的色彩还可根据空间的美学需求提供多种表面效果:高光、缎面、哑光与喷砂。同时别忘了,solid surface 板材之间可 实现无可见接缝的拼接,让整体设计更具连续性与一体感。
现在你已经了解,为什么 Krion® LUX 的色彩能够引领潮流、打动建筑师与室内设计师,并为室内设计带来无限可能。

One of the objectives for Krion is the care and protection of the environment. To achieve this, the company makes an enormous effort to find a way of making its products not only more sustainable and environmentally friendly but also safe for society.
The production process through which... sustainable KrionTM sheets are obtained is the so-called EcocycleTM system, which consists of recycling the surplus sheet stocks to manufacture chips which will be used later on in this production range.
The EcocycleTM range maintains the same characteristics, properties and qualities as standard sheets. At the same time, they minimise the production of waste and reduce the use of plastic materials.
For some time now, Krion's Quality and Environment Department has been working to obtain the SCS Globar Services certification for all the company's products which are manufactured using the EcocycleTM process. Krion has four types of certificates: Minimum of 6% in recycled content, Minimum of 12% in recycled content, Minimum of 20% in recycled content and Minimum of 40% in recycled content.
This year, besides getting the renewal of products already certified, 3 new ones have bee
n included in this group, namely: The MATERIA series with the Luce, Grigio and Amaro finishes; with a minimum 20% recycled material content.
In all, there are 45 colours which Krion offers in its extensive catalogue that are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Versatile finishes with a different character which manage to meet the needs of each client without endangering the environment or people’s health.

One month has passed when we cared about the interior of the new generation of solid surface material developed by Porcelanosa Group and its unlimited features and applications. In this case, we’d like to talk about the features of thermoforming today.
Thermoforming allows obtaining a curved... surface of any radian in a period of time without changing its intensity of color by heating and applying pressure to the KRION plate. Before applying this technology, all sharp edges of the plate must be rounded so that it will not scratch the film, to avoid minor cracks. Both sides of the KRION Lux plate must be heated up to 160º, each plate is heated for 10min, and the heating time should be extended by 1min. for every additional 1mm of thickness.
Once the thermoforming of KRION plate is successful, it must be retained within the membrane press for approximately 40min. After this period of time, the pressed piece has its due form and can be applied to any equipment and device. This quality of KRION plate is the inherit feature of the internal structure of the high density mineral material developed by Systempool. People can apply this technology to kitchens, bathrooms, surface or products, creating novel and fashionable designs.Read more
A few years ago, each European Union country had its own specific requirements as to the characteristics to be met by products used in construction, including reaction to fire. This meant that the same material could be used or otherwise depending on the country where it was to be installed and the... laxity of its internal regulations. All this changed with the creation of European Directive 89/106/EEC, which specifies certain essential and mandatory requirements for the free movement of products, thus creating the Euroclasses.
KRION® is the only solid surface that has the B-s1-d0 classification for its standard product range. Other solid surfaces found on the market reach this classification in their high-end product range or special productions, thus also having a higher cost.
What does the Euroclass B-s1-d0 indicate?
Each of the three sections of the nomenclature indicates an important aspect of the material’s reaction to fire: contribution to fire, smoke opacity and burning droplets.
CONTRIBUTION TO FIRE: This indicates whether a material helps keep a fire going. It is classified alphabetically, A being the safest rating (completely fireproof materials, e.g. stone) and F the least safe. KRION® is given a B rating whereas most solid surfaces on the market are C category.
SMOKE OPACITY: Rates the density and opacity of smoke produced by the material, which indicates the level of toxicity. Only 3 grades can be obtained, s1 - s2 - s3, the order being from lowest to highest opacity. KRION® is classified as s1, the best possible rating representing the lowest health risk.
BURNING DROPLETS: This rating indicates the material's ability to produce burning droplets that help spread the fire. The ratings are d0 - d1 - d2 depending on the number of drops produced in ascending order. KRION® is d0, the best possible rating, which means it does not produce any burning droplets that can help spread the fire. The acrylic component evaporates and is totally consumed, and the rest would be a fine powder which does not contribute to the fire.Read more
