The solid surface brings seamless design and durability to deluxe campervans
Many people dream of a life on the open road, in a neat and nimble campervan, with all the freedom of a cosy home-on-wheels. But why shouldn’t those dreams also include a little luxury? If you’re going to invest in the nomadic lifestyle, why not opt for a few premium specifications?
This is the thinking behind Vanpuravida, a team that takes the best of ‘mobile’ living technology, the smartest designs for compact spaces – and the finest materials – and adapts them to vehicles where every special touch and every sleek, seamless corner is to be treasured.
One of the materials on offer for the Vanpuravida luxury customisation service is HIMACS, the ultra-versatile solid surface that can achieve almost any creative vision while ensuring robust and reliable performance.
“We primarily use HIMACS for kitchen worktops and window seals,” says Cecile Haudeborg, “It’s offered as an upgraded option across all our models and we suggest it regularly because we truly appreciate the aesthetic. We also advise customers to select the seamlessly integrated HIMACS sink, as the elegant appearance and the easy-to-clean functionality add further value.”
The choices for layout, utilities and fittings are extensive, and the must-have final result reflects the significant work and planning that goes into the ingenious design. Cecile and her partner José have undertaken considerable research to ensure the highest standards and continue to explore all the possibilities for offering the very best of ‘vanlife.’
“We like HIMACS because it provides a sleek and highly designed finish. From a workshop perspective, the team finds it easy to work with and very robust, as it doesn’t require edge banding. Everyone, from our team to our customers, is consistently amazed by the results with HIMACS. It provides the ‘wow’ touch we always look for at Vanpuravida,” explains Cecile.
Apart from the need for the finest aesthetics and reliable performance when choosing materials, there are other unique demands for Vanpuravida. When designing for such a compact and yet complex space – and for such a specific use and lifestyle – weight control is also a crucial consideration.
“Working with 12mm HIMACS is an excellent solution, as it is strong yet still relatively light,” explains Cecile. “It also offers a huge variety of design options, which is perfect for customisation. With space being at a premium, a material that can adapt to any shape and size seamlessly is a definite advantage.”
HIMACs is equally at home in cosy personal spaces such as a campervan as in vast public installations – and being so tough and easy to clean, as well as silky-smooth and warm to the touch, is an added bonus for life on the move. Its malleability also enables ergonomic design. What’s more, the material is repairable and can be restored to full beauty should any damage occur. Safety and sustainability are further considerations, and HIMACS is both silica-free and VOC-free, while offering colours with certified recycled content only adds to its credentials as a responsible choice and a wise investment.
