Laminate: practical and affordable. It can withstand everyday use, but it's not the most resistant to heat, knocks or scratches. Easy to clean, although if it gets damaged, it cannot be repaired.

Composite glass: highly resistant to heat, knocks and scratches. Plus, it's very easy to clean. If it breaks, it can't be repaired.

Thick veneer: more durable than laminate. It better withstands daily use and minor accidents. It's also easy to clean, but if it breaks it can't be repaired.

High-pressure porcelain: the best choice for strength and durability. It can handle it all: heat, scratches, knocks… and you can clean it up in no time. However, it cannot be repaired if it gets damaged.

The worst thing about cooking is cleaning up... until now!

That's why our wall panels are resistant to grease, dirt and stains, and can be effortlessly wiped clean with a damp cloth. A beautiful and affordable option that is easier to install than traditional tiles. That way, cooking is still enjoyable and cleaning up is much quicker.
