PRODUCT WATCH: Mother of Pearl decorative panels by Siminetti

Siminetti’s Mother of Pearl decorative panels have been described as the next generation in Mother of Pearl surface finishes…

The ‘Imperial Whisper’ decorative panels, which are handcrafted by Siminetti’s team of artisans, capture the stunning natural beauty of Mother of Pearl that has, for centuries, been associated with luxury, sophistication and elegance.

Produced from fully sustainable Freshwater and Saltwater Pearl, each decorative panel is assembled to the clients exacting dimensions and can be produced in almost any shape up to maximum size of 240cm x 120cm. The individual Mother of Pearl pieces are hand placed onto a lightweight, robust, honeycomb backing which ensures they are also fully waterproof, making the decorative panels suitable for feature walls, elevators, splashbacks and furniture inlays but equally wet-room and shower environments. When covering larger surfaces where multiple decorative panels are required, the design is laid in a pattern match format, ensuring an almost seamless connection between each panel. Alternatively, colour co-ordinating panel strips can be used when looking to define each panel.

Smooth to the touch, installation is kept to a minimum as there is no grouting required and the panels can simply be wiped clean for day to day hygiene. Fully sealed to prevent ingress of oils and soaps, the decorative panels are truly one of the most luxurious surface finishes available. 

Siminetti decorative panels are the luxurious alternative to tiles and are available in more than 30 stunning designs. Siminetti also offers a bespoke design service, allowing Designers, Architects and Specifiers to develop their own unique style.

Siminetti is one of the brands that has taken advantage of our Industry Support Package. To keep up to date with supplier news, click here.
