Concrete’s Atelier:
technology, design and eco-sustainability
for the building industry
Concrete is an ancient material to which Zanette wanted to give a future of innovation through a consolidated know-how of over 60 years of experience and research and development: eco-friendly, versatile, suitably blended can offer exceptional strength and durability. A material that can be modeled according to functional but also aesthetic needs, to support and ennoble large international architectural projects, both in new buildings and in renovations.
Panels with UHPC and GRC performance, vertical walls and special elements for architecture such as pavements or sunscreens, find in Zanette’s concrete the expression of value for civil and industrial construction.
Zanette’s production is a real creative and technological laboratory: it is here that blends, shapes and finishes are experimented, alongside architects who find functional solutions to their creative ideas through prototyping and engineering phases of manufactured products tested in research laboratories.
State-of-the-art and always unique machinery as personalized by the experience of Zanette technicians, selection of raw materials such as sand, gravel or marble directly in places of extraction and crushing, study of combinations with the most varied materials such as glass or wood, creation of matrices and molds for aesthetic finishes always original, make the production phase.
Zanette is a real concrete atelier in which an industrial production finds maximum creative and artisan expression according to the canons of the best made in Italy.
Washed
The cutaway marble stones or rounded river stones are brought to the fore by washing depending on the size of the desired material. The quarries used by Zanette can reproduce the true sense of nature. Through the use of natural pigments, even the bottom of the binding paste can approach the tone of the stone.
Bush-hammared
The typical workmanship of the past. Hammering that makes the surface of buildings eco-compatible even for areas subject to specific landscape constraints. The phase of bush-hammering replicates the ancient workmanship of the "stonemasons" who once covered many buildings. The stone gets a different tonality and roughness from that in nature making the context much lighter and opaque. The product has been registered as a European Brevet.
Antique
The continuous research by Zanette has allowed the creation of this technology that rounds the marble stone and at the same time makes it brilliant. The marble stone is cut and rounded according to the grain size by means of a mechanical brushing that makes the outer surface semi-polished. The product has been registered as a European Brevet.
Cristal
Zanette’s techniques have taken up the finishes of the old PALLADIANE where marble granules or river pebbles were used with different seeds, obtaining, through a mechanical sanding process with different steps with different grains, a glossy finish superior to the workings on the market. It is also available with a matte finish. Thanks to the use of tested products, you can obtain effects and shades that last over time.
Leca
The Leca block provides a high sound-absorbing and also insulating power. It is available in different colors.
Exposed brickwork
Finish with manual laying of the brick.
Rock
With the use of matrices, you can achieve the effects of natural stone, without removing the practicality in the installation.
Tiles
With the use of marble tiles or marble-cement agglomerates, it is possible to combine various colors with custom solutions.
Bottom mould
The concrete intense as Primer Mold is a consequence of the casting of agglomerated marble-cement in machined steel molds. Machined molds are industrial productions on "non-virgin" sheets where there are slight abrasions, round weld points, small undulations but which in backlight can generate some effects not perfect, typical of this type of industrial processing.
Effect matrix
Through the use of more than 200 standard matrices, in addition to customizable ones, Zanette offers a wide range of possibilities that can give the facade an individual imprint. You can achieve unique effects by combining, at your choice, even different materials. The range can replicate stone effects, wood masonry, marble, multi-level plaster with waves, lines and more. Zanette has been a RECKLY partner for many years and can also engrave or represent images and fantasy in concrete’s design.
Colored in paste
In recent years, the material aspect of colored concrete is taken into account, through the use of natural pigments, both on white and grey paste, can give each coating element a warm or cold, aggressive or soft. Always considering the products used come from nature and the result of the artifact can be defined "UNIQUE".
Stone
The use of natural stones evokes the manual workings of a time at competitive costs and not only for infill panels.
Antique e Teak
The combination of teak and antique stone adds a touch of sophistication.
3D Brick
Hand-made and assembled with varying depths, it gives a pleasant movement effect.
Cantonali
Zanette offers different types of cantonal finishes including: “Round Cantonal”, “Volta Testa Cantonal. “Cantonal 90° Spigolo Vivo”, Cantonal with 2 elements at 45°.
Photographic
With different techniques, concrete with different shades can reveal real photographs with important and long-lasting reflections.
Colours
The colors can be customized from time to time.
