Features and benefits
Every option is available to designers to create neat washrooms, kitchens, hospitals and much more with our wide range of HIMACS sinks and bowls. Perfectly coordinated and ideal for mixing and matching, the bowls and sinks guarantee a modern look that is easy ad simple to look after.
Certain colours and thicknesses of HIMACS exhibit a special translucency when exposed to light. Various textures and patterns can be built into the material to intensify the HIMACS translucency effect.
HIMACS boasts a simple heating process and three-dimensional thermoplastic forming capabilities. This allows for greater forming flexibility compared with other conventional materials so that spectacular ideas can quickly take on a concrete shape.
HIMACS offers a virtually limitless range of colours in all conceivable shades. More are being added every year no matter what colour you choose, HIMACS remains 100% homogeneous.
The material is heated in a progressive tempering process (Thermal Cure). which sets HIMACS apart from other mineral materials and produces a new and stronger compound in which any structural defects are perfectly evened out. This improved structure automatically affects the quality of the material.
Although HIMACS is almost as robust as stone, it can be worked in the same way as wood. Using conventional carpenter's tools, this solid surface material can be sawn, routed or drilled.
HIMACS allows for visually seamless manipulation. Smooth integration enables large areas without joints or edges as well as flush mounting of sinks or bowls.
Stronger surface with durability similar to that of natural stone - HIMACS stands up to everyday scratches. Should you accidentally inflict a deeper scratch or surface impression, a trained professional can easily resurface your HIMACS thanks to its sealant-free consistency.
Backed up with numerous certificates that attest of its fire resistance, HIMACS is ideal for places where security is the number 1 criteria of choice.
Thanks to its impermeability to dirt, bacteria, viruses and countless chemicals, HIMACS is the ideal material for the hospital, medical practice or laboratory. And for all other areas where hygiene really counts.
Thanks to its non-porous surface HIMACS is suitable for humid areas where moisture can form such as wet rooms and bathrooms.
With easy-to-care and repairable properties, no matter if it's a scratch, stain or crack, HIMACS can be restored to its original state by a certified professional.
HIMACS supports greener earth by using sustainable material, eco-friendly manufacturing process and recycling at the end of its life-cycle. LX Hausys fully stands behind HIMACS uality, which is we offer a 15 year transferable warranty with customer's best interest in mind.

Aster is a collection of elegant shades of grey, ranging from almost white to a warm beige, all with a gorgeous mother of pearl shimmer.
Translucency and effective use of light are decisive design elements of contemporary architecture – the shades of the Lucent Collection, with their exceptional light translucency, allow for spectacular designs. Whether effectively backlit or simply illuminated, the Lucent colours of the architecture always add an elegant touch thanks to their characteristic reaction to light.
The indusrial look of concrete combined with the incredible flexibility of HIMACS. The Concrete Collection adds huge opportunities for great designs to architects and designers
The classic in terms of solid surfaces – a wide range of attractive shades of white lies at the heart of this collection. Complemented by colourful and dynamic uni-shade accents. The timeless collection offers the perfect colour for every design.
Terrazzo has a long tradition as a material aesthetic: the coarse-grained look has offered the perfect blend of longevity and elegance since antiquity. HIMACS has now adopted the trend with two colours, which both combine perfectly with their typically coarse-grained, ‘splattered’ look. The Terrazzo Collection is especially suitable for the hospitality and gastronomy sector, as well as for any other high-traffic public building.
The large particles of the Volcanics shades add a sense of style to any design. When used on a large scale the result is a dramatic showpiece. Three colours from the Volcanics range contain recycled content for an environmentally friendly solution with a luxurious natural stone look.
This collection focuses on the natural trend colours black, white and grey. The lively and homogeneous structures add character and expression to the colours. Not surprising, as the renowned Dutch designer, Marcel Wanders, designed three of these colours.
The Aurora & Marmo Collection provides colours to address the current trends for top-quality marble aesthetics, ranging from semi-translucent white, through shades of grey, to striking dark brown and anthracite tones.
For years, spectacular façades have been made from HIMACS all over the world. In doing so, the advantages are often skilfully crafted: Relief milling with writing, samples with company logos, a combination of spectacular light effects and curvy designs. And every good design inspires the next big thing. Together, we can now take the next steps. With HIMACS Exteria, LX Hausys is expanding exterior possibilities.
At the forefront of innovation as always, LX Hausys recently introduced two new products. First HIMACS Ultra-Thermoforming, an innovative formula that pushes the boundaries of solid surface shaping to a whole new level, with 30% more thermoplastic capabilities - the biggest innovation for the Solid Surface history since its inception in 1967. Now, HIMACS Intense Ultra, combining the characteristics from two disparate worlds: Intense Colour Technology and Ultra-Thermoforming.
Ultimate elegance thanks to lively textures, harmoniously natural tones and maximum subtleness. The Granite, Quartz, Sand & Pearl collections are perfect either alone or in combination with other colours. Three of the granite colours contain recycled content for an environmentally friendly solution.
The Gravilla collection follows the aesthetic veined trend of Aurora & Marmo combined with a granite particles inspiration thanks to the shorter veins and a chip effect.
