Decor
Explore stone, marble and other printed design directions against the actual available film range. Record the approved colour, scale, batch reference and panel orientation.
The surface, considered
A continuous wall.
A considered collection.
Approve the design, the surface and the layout separately. A familiar decor name does not guarantee the same texture, gloss level or image alignment.
Three approvals
behind one surface
Build the range around a finished sample rather than a screen image.
Finish
Matt or matte, satin, gloss and textured descriptions need a physical reference. Confirm the surface route, gloss level, cleanability and relevant test results for the selected finish.
Layout
Confirm whether the supplied design is random-cut, sequentially matched or a defined mirrored arrangement. Availability is decor- and format-specific.
Matt & PET gloss.
Two surface routes.
The documented reference range combines digital or roller-printed decoration with one of two finish constructions.
Matt with a UV-cured coating
The documented matt route uses a UV-cured surface coating over the decoration to create a soft, non-reflective finish. Here, UV curing describes how the coating is hardened; it does not establish outdoor weather resistance.
PET gloss surface
The documented gloss route adds a PET surface layer over the printed decoration for a reflective finish. Digital and roller-printed versions are described in the reference range.
Results for the selected finish
The July data sheet reports different EN 16094 micro-scratch results for matt and PET. Compare the exact sample and surface evidence alongside the visual effect and care instructions.

Or a planned continuation?
Those are different production and installation briefs.
Random-cut panels can share one design without their veins lining up across every joint. Pattern-matched panels require an approved relationship between designated pieces, including order and orientation.
Bookmatching uses a mirrored relationship. It should be specified as its own approved arrangement, not inferred from the words “marble look”. Confirm whether continuity is intended horizontally, vertically or across a defined group of panels.
Approve a joined sample or full layout showing the exact panel count, joint positions and visual tolerances. Agree how replacement pieces will be supplied; a later random panel may not reproduce a matched arrangement.
A matched image has no bearing on the watertightness of the joint. Keep the decorative approval connected to, but separate from, installation and sealing.
