Finishes and surfaces: proof of quality

When you buy a new set of tables and chairs for your home or office, you want to be sure that it is of excellent quality. It is not just a question of aesthetics; it is also a question of functionality and durability.

This is where quality control comes in, a specialised area of the furniture industry that deals precisely with ensuring the high quality of the finishes and surfaces of the furniture you choose.

Simulating real life to test durability

Quality control simulates what can really happen during the daily use of your furniture.
Imagine accidentally bumping into your new table or spilling a glass of water on your new chair. What would be the effect? The tests replicate these common situations, ranging from contact with hot objects, to regular cleaning, to exposure to extreme conditions during transport, to give you a complete picture of the products' ability to maintain their technical qualities in the short and long term.

Accelerated ageing tests: predicting the future

One of the specialisations of the technicians carrying out these tests is the performance of accelerated ageing tests. In this type of test, advanced devices are used that reproduce particularly severe climatic conditions, with high temperatures, high humidity and strong sunlight. This makes it possible to assess how finishes and surfaces behave over time and to predict how they will be after years of use.

Compliance with stringent technical standards

All tests are performed according to strict technical standards, including national (UNI), European (CEN) and international (ISO) standards. This ensures that the test results are reliable and that the products you purchase meet the highest quality standards.

Which products are tested?

The range of products tested is wide and includes:

• Furniture surfaces: scratch resistance and durability are assessed;
• Surfaces for outdoor use: the effect of weathering and UV resistance are tested;
• Kitchen sinks: resistance to detergents and high temperatures is tested;
• High-pressure decorative laminates: testing adhesion and resilience;
• Melamine-coated panels for interior use: wear and stain resistance are tested;
• Kitchen furniture: durability and functionality in the specific context of the kitchen are assessed; and
• Bathtubs and shower trays: resistance to water and chemicals is analysed;
• Floors: wear, scratch resistance and stability over time are tested.
