DESIGN:
Top 40-mm thick in “1st cut” resin-coated antique oak. Made from solid oak reclaimed from the surface layer (the original top layer) of ancient beams used in buildings and salvaged from demolished old houses, haylofts, mountain huts, etc. The top is constructed by layering 3 solid wood panels one on top of the other in opposite directions to increase their stability. A cross-grained end rail is added. Due to its particularly uneven surface, to make it useable the panel must be coated with resin. Its indicative 40-mm thickness may be subject to variations due to its uneven surface and to the thickness of the resin that may make increase its thickness to 55 mm. A wood top is forever. We realize it tailor-made for your interiors. Discover at our authorized sellers all the solutions dedicate to you.

MATERIAL:
European solid durmast wood. Very transparent, two-component epoxy resin is applied. Water-based vinyl glues and ureic resins complying with UNI-CEE standards are used.
PHILOSOPHY:
The sensibility towards the environment is a central issue for Altacorte, we work steadily to offer a eco-friendly selection that produces limited wastage of raw materials, that minimizes the frantic search for the perfect material, since it has little to do with the wood naturalness. We want each top to be unique, we strive for valorisation of the dissimilarities and characteristics of wood, emphasizing the perfect aesthetic in the natural imperfections.
