Mirror Gloss

How bright are your ideas?
To push the limits of depth and definition, color and reflective gloss, FALCO asked its engineers to challenge the conventional conception of melamine facing.
Analyzing the dramatic impact of changes to time, pressure, and heat, FALCO engineers discovered that the key to perfecting the mirrored surface lay in an extended press time (more than 4x normal) with a gradual, liquid cooling of the surface (over 15 minutes in the press) prior to extraction.
The new structure, called FS 70, required construction of an entirely new multi-daylight press, a tailored resin formula, and a new process for impregnation representing one of the most extensive investments in a new product by FALCO in more than a decade.
