Senini: paving, blocks, kerbs and light But what are these exclusive product lines? Let us look at them in detail and explore their characteristics: – Tecnocanapa, the complete range of patented products and integrated solutions for hemp-and-lime building envelopes, representing the construction of the future through natural, sustainable and highly energy-efficient materials. Blocco Ambiente®️, Bio Beton®️ Pronto and Bio Beton®️ 500 Venezia are ideal solutions for both new construction and renovation. Made exclusively from Hemp Shiv, Natural Dolomitic Binder and Symbiotic Microorganisms, they are designed to maximise healthy indoor conditions, energy savings and indoor comfort. – Ecotop Superior, the photocatalytic paving range, outdoor interlocking paving that, thanks to the photocatalytic principle incorporated into its surface, makes a tangible contribution to reducing harmful substances in the air. Its distinctive characteristics include a compact, uniform surface with perfect closure; performance superior to natural stone in that it does not absorb, is slip-resistant and cleans the air through photocatalysis; special additives that reduce the occurrence of phenomena such as efflorescence; water repellency with the Hydrocare system, which preserves colours, helps prevent moss and lichen formation and improves freeze-thaw resistance; the use of high-quality minerals that give a distinctive brilliance; long-lasting, consistent colour tones; and an excellent solar reflectance index that reduces solar absorption and keeps the surface cooler. – Glow in the dark, the paving and slab range which, thanks to photoluminescent stones in the upper layer, absorbs light—solar or artificial—during the day and releases it at night, creating a striking atmosphere. Glow in the dark was undoubtedly the most dazzling new product on display at Fuori Salone 2023. Senini presented the luminous block accompanied by an evocative electric-violin performance that gradually revealed the latest innovation to the audience. It was an original concept capable of combining beauty and environmental sustainability in a successful blend. More recently, the range has also been expanded with wall-cladding slabs. This can create a unique visual effect on buildings, with walls that glow in the dark. The effect remains stable over time and requires no equipment to maintain its operation. Conclusions We close the article with the words of the president of the Senini Group, Mr Massimo Senini: “What is environmentally sustainable is healthy, beautiful and designed around people. At Senini, we have always had a particular sensitivity towards environmental issues and, more than twenty years ago, we were the first in our sector to obtain ISO 14001 environmental certification. It is no coincidence that the outdoor paving products in the Ecotop range were chosen by EXPO Milano 2015 for their ability to reduce atmospheric pollution through photocatalysis. Since 2015, through the Tecnocanapa line, we have also been active in sustainable construction, natural building materials and energy-efficiency technologies, with the aim of reducing the energy consumption of new and existing buildings and improving occupants’ indoor comfort. The homes of the future will increasingly be built with natural materials: a rapidly growing trend that helps preserve the environment and ensure a better quality of life for everyone. This is why we are committed to offering products with enormous potential, backed by an important and credible history, rediscovered, innovated and destined to become leading players in new construction.” “The use of natural raw materials, product quality and the excellent drainage performance of many formats demonstrate Senini’s commitment to protecting the environment and quality of life,” says Gabriele Chizzola, COO of Tempini 1921 and Strategy Manager of “Boutique – Tempini 1921”. “We are honoured to present Senini products in our Boutique to the Milan Design Week public, because at Tempini we value strong ties with the local area, and Senini is unquestionably an example of excellence in sustainability. These are qualities that deserve to be communicated widely and brought to the attention of as broad an audience as possible.” Curious to find out more? Contact us
