About Avalanche 엔지니어드 쿼츠 표면재

아발란체(Avalanche)는 주방, 욕실 및 벽체·바닥 마감재를 위해 개발된 반투명 엔지니어드 쿼츠 표면재입니다. 아발란체의 외관은 천연 오닉스 석재에서 영감을 얻었으며, 각 슬래브를 가로지르는 긴 결이 특징입니다. 이 표면재는 빛을 투과하기 때문에 하부에 광원을 설치하면 패널 자체가 조명 요소로 변모합니다. 아발란체는 재활용 수정 쿼츠, 유리, 레진을 진공 상태에서 압착한 후 다이아몬드 연마재로 폴리싱하여 생산됩니다. 이 소재는 비다공성이며 내스크래치성이 뛰어나고 식품 접촉에도 적합합니다.

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: Its innovation derives from the natural onyx stone look. Transparency of the surface and usability of it as a lighting unit, makes it new in the market and unique. It is also a product that we believe it will enhance the Belenco brand recognition in the market and by the end users. By its long veins, it suits the latest trends and be ahead of its competitors with the onyx looking effect.
Dimensions & Packaging: Due to its chemical formulation including recycled quartz, glass and resin combined to compact slab shape vibro-comprehension under vacuum press. We are offering healthy, hygienic, and transparent lighting surfaces. Avalanche is made by Belenco with the latest high technology engineered stone fully automatic robotic producing lines to serve the interior designer more sustainable natural look compound stones. Slabs have a shape of 330,165,2cm thick.

Production Technology: Quartz engineered stones are aesthetical components for kitchens, bathrooms, wall & floor coverings. Avalanche offers an alternative to the user in a way to feel the exclusivity of lightened atmosphere throughout a transparent engineered quartz stone. With this eco-friendly, sustainable and luxurious piece of art; we both satisfy the user needs and providing them Avalanche. Contains recycled crystal quartz, glass and recycled water from its own polishing process and energy from renewable sources
Design Challenge: Avalanche is one of the most durable materials due to the quartz mineral,which is one of the hardest minerals after diamond.Avalanche, 90 % recycled quartz content adds superior properties to the structure and surface durability, scratch and acid,basic alkaline and chemical resistance and increase the strength four times than onyx,granite and marble.The vein pattern design sustainable every slab due to robotic process whereas the natural stones pattern changed every block cut to size as slab.
Research: Avalanche is a practical,user friendly and a constantly efficient product.When mounted as a quartz surface (and if intended a light source placed to its underneath),its hygienic,antibacterial,has strong scratch resistance (quartz 7 Mohs scale strength),chemical resistance and no water absorption due to non-porosity.It has a long-life cycle and high impact resistance,only necessary change would be lightning source in the upcoming years.Avalanche will remain shiny and new just like the first day.
Inspiration: Avalanche quartz surface is the new interpretation of natural onyx stone,which inspires translucent appearance to illuminating interior places. It is possible to create lighted areas in your kitchen,bathroom,other living areas by simply using this design.Avalanche countertops are the best sanitary solutions where the hygiene needed by reason of it is antibacterial,healthy for food contact,also healthy for indoor air quality without any chemical exposure on people.
Project Duration: The Avalanche Project started at 2020 in Belenco research and development laboratory pilot plant, start up in 2020 at the production and exhibited to the market at 2021. Since 2021 to these time Belenco Avalanche is on the market of mainly USA.
Operation Flow: Natural quartz minerals and resin composed in mixers. The mixture transport directly to distribution unit. Vein effect unit gives a marble look pattern. Mixture go to the vibration press under vacuum and pressed. The slab shaped to length of 310 cm and the width of 152 cm and the thickness of 20 cm, cured at the oven, polished with diamond abrasives to give them higher glosses finishes and final quality control area separated the slabs to their quality and pick up glossy surface face to face, bundled and transport to the clients.
