Manufacturing and Processing Machinery Design Avalanche Surfacing Solution by Esra Arıcı Avalanche is a translucent engineered quartz surface made for kitchens, bathrooms and wall and floor coverings. The appearance of Avalanche is based on natural onyx stone, with long veins running through each slab. The surface transmits light, so a light source placed underneath turns the panel into an illuminated element. Avalanche is produced from recycled crystal quartz, glass and resin, pressed under vacuum and polished with diamond abrasives. The material is non-porous, scratch resistant and suitable for food contact.
