Overview of Step Decorative Finish

The Step finish is a decorative surface treatment featuring vertical relief stripes that create a subtle chiaroscuro (light-dark) effect. Inspired by natural textures, it is applied over a slightly porous, matt lacquered base, enhancing the three-dimensional depth of all colors in the RAB palette. This finish is applied uniformly on all visible sides of bathroom furniture, providing a vibrant and tactile surface.

Technical Characteristics

• Vertical relief stripes modulate surface texture.
• Base surface is matt lacquered with slight porosity.
• Colors exhibit enhanced depth and three-dimensionality.
• Consistent finish on all visible sides of bathroom cabinets.

Visual and Functional Effects

The vertical chiaroscuro texture ensures visual continuity between side panels and fronts, streamlining the appearance of both base and wall units. The striped effect adds movement and dynamism to large surfaces, improving the overall aesthetic appeal of bathroom furniture.

Material and Color Options

The Step finish can be combined with other surface finishes such as plain Fenix, glossy, matt, or Touch lacquered surfaces, allowing versatile design combinations.
