A new brand of innovative mineral surfaces featuring next-generation Inlayr® technology
By Cosentino
Inlayr® technology enables Éclos® to be manufactured using a layered design system. Thanks to an advanced robotics engineering process and innovative decoration techniques, it gives the entire surface a 3D design with unique veins and patterns, as well as unprecedented depth and consistency.
The result is a surface with a three-dimensional design integrated into the edges, with realistic aesthetics and a natural touch and feel that redefine industry standards.
According to recent reports, the global countertop market will grow 3% annually through 2028, reaching $50 billion and nearly 7 billion square feet, with over 1 billion square feet in mineral and porcelain surfaces. Cosentino is once again leading the way with Éclos®, transforming the sector by offering a sustainable, aesthetically designed, and high-added-value alternative to the category. The US will remain the largest market, while the largest growth is expected in Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and developing countries.
Éclos® also introduces a groundbreaking development in mineral surface composition. The first collection, which will be available globally in the coming months, has zero crystalline silica in its formulation. Furthermore, all colors use a minimum of 50% recycled materials, while several colors incorporate almost 90% recycled materials, demonstrating Cosentino's dedication to the circular economy.
Its composition and the formulation, developed specifically for this new product, give Éclos® better flexibility, ductility, and impact resistance, making it easier for fabricators and industry professionals to handle and install. Additionally, Inlayr® technology gives Éclos® superior heat resistance that withstands temperatures up to 428°F, including direct contact with cookware immediately after use, making it ideal for kitchen countertops and other high-performance applications.
