KRION® is a new-generation solid surface developed by Systempool, a company that is a part of the Porcelanosa Group.

It is a material that is warm to the touch and similar to natural stone. It consists of two-thirds natural minerals (ATH: Aluminium Trihydrate) and a low percentage of high-resistance resins. This composition provides KRION® with a series of clearly exclusive features: it does not have any pores, it is anti-bacterial without the need for any type of additive, hard, tough, durable, easy to repair, requires minimum maintenance and is easy to clean.

It is worked in a similar way to wood, making it possible to cut the sheets, join them and thermoform them to created curved sections, and even to use using injection in the production system, obtaining different shapes and designs that are impossible with other materials.

We can create surfaces without joints, which prevents the absorption of liquids and makes it easy to clean and maintain.We offer a wide range of colours, including a white finish that stands out for its purity and neutrality, far superior to that of other similar materials.

It is an ecological material, as it is 100% recyclable. All products manufactured using KRION® can be reprocessed and re-used in its production cycle.
