EXCITING NEW RANGE OF ITALIAN PORCELAIN FLOORING
SHOWCASED IN CAPE TOWN
Born from a passion for innovation
and achieving aesthetic beauty combined
with well over 20 years’ experience in the
flooring and surface covering industry, Studio
Masson recently opened its Cape Town
showroom - showcasing their collection
of leading European porcelain flooring and
surface covering materials.
Studio Masson is the exclusive importer
of the MAXIMUM collection, produced by
Fiandre, Italy. These innovative porcelain
slabs or panels in the impressive 3m x 1.5m size are a leading innovation in the flooring
and surface coving market. They offer not only versatility and impressive design, but the
durability of a superior quality porcelain.
The signature collection in the range is the MAXIMUM MARMI. The natural stone
reproduction is so ‘real’ it has floored even the experts. Now there truly is no limit to
creating the design feature of stone, without the application limitation and maintenance
requirements. The range is suitable for both residential and commercial projects including
floors, walls, façades as well as work tops and kitchen surface.
The eco-conscious Active Clean Air &
Antibacterial Ceramic™ is the latest form of
ceramics that helps to purify the air that we
breathe, offering cleaner and more hygienic
and ultimately healthier floors and coverings.
This range is well suited
to healthcare and food
preparation environments.
