How To Create A Custom Inlay

HOW TO …
⇢ A showcase of custom inlay capabilities at our own headquarters, where SIBEXTREME AF FLOW’s unique properties enabled a seamless custom branded integration (without visible transitions).

Design Applications:
This versatile technique opens creative possibilities for:
– Corporate branding elements
– Wayfinding features in commercial spaces
– Decorative patterns in hospitality settings
– Custom design elements in residential projects

How To Create Custom Inlays:
1) Create a slab of SIBEXTREME AF FLOW in each desired colour (we used five different colours)
2) Grind and polish each slab to match the final floor finish
3) Cut each piece with water jet technology to reproduce exact vector designs
4) Adhere the pre-finished pieces to the substrate before main floor application
5) Apply the main floor SIBEXTREME AF FLOW product over and around the inlays
6) Complete grinding and polishing of the entire surface to reveal the seamless design

SIBEXTREME AF FLOW Advantages:
– Minimal shrinkage allowing truly seamless inlays without visible transitions
– Versatility to incorporate traditional marble inlays (like Scarpa designs) or matching product inlays
– Perfect integration with surrounding floor material without profiles or separation
– Maintains consistent surface texture and finish across the entire installation
