HIMACS shapes are now SCS-Certified for recycled content

HIMACS has long been the solid surface material of choice for architects and designers looking for a refined balance of aesthetics, performance, and versatility. Now, the full range of HIMACS standard sinks and basins has been officially SCS-certified for containing a minimum of 8 percent pre-consumer recycled content. This certification adds to the material’s technical and visual appeal by offering an option with enhanced sustainability, without compromising on quality or functionality.

From bathroom vanities with integrated basins to kitchen islands with flush-mounted sinks, HIMACS Shapes offer the perfect combination of style and function. Each component can be seamlessly integrated to the surrounding surface, creating a continuous, grout-free finish that is both elegant and easy to maintain.

Non-porous, hygienic, and free from silica and VOC emissions, HIMACS is well suited for a wide range of applications including kitchens, bathrooms, hospitality and healthcare environments. Its warm, silky feel offers a tactile appeal and adds to user comfort, while its seamless finish prevents the build-up of dirt, mould and bacteria.

In addition to the collection of pre-cast basins and sinks, HIMACS offers further design benefits with sheets that are thermoformable, allowing designers to explore organic curves and fluid geometries, ideal for creating distinctive, bespoke interiors. The extensive colour palette includes a wide range of options with recycled content, offering even more flexibility for those seeking to combine creative freedom with material responsibility. Furthermore, the durability, repairability and re-usability of the material can optimise the longevity of an installation.

With SCS certification now covering all HIMACS sinks and basins, specifiers can make informed choices backed by third-party verification, supporting a more conscious design without sacrificing performance or aesthetics.

About HIMACS

HIMACS is a solid surface material that can be moulded into any shape. It is widely used for architectural and interior applications, such as sculptural and high-performance wall cladding or kitchen, bathroom and furniture surfaces, in commercial, residential and public space projects. It is composed of minerals, acrylic and natural pigments that come together to provide a smooth, non-porous and visually seamless surface which meets the highest standards for quality, aesthetics, fabrication, functionality and hygiene – offering many advantages over conventional materials.

HIMACS provides limitless possibilities for surfacing solutions and inspires creative minds from all over the world. Zaha Hadid, Jean Nouvel, Rafael Moneo, Karim Rashid, Marcel Wanders and David Chipperfield, among others, have completed fabulous projects using HIMACS.

Proud to be at the forefront of innovation, LX Hausys made Solid Surface history with the introduction of HIMACS Ultra-Thermoforming, a pioneering formulation which pushes the boundaries of solid surface shaping to significant new levels with 30% greater thermoplastic capability, Furthermore, Intense Ultra is a ground-breaking advance that now combines the qualities of both Intense Colour Technology and Ultra-Thermoforming.

To add to the benefits of working with HIMACS, now the iconic HIMACS Alpine White, plus a wide selection of colours, come with SCS certified pre-consumer recycled content for a more sustainable product offering.

HIMACS uses a simple heating process to give three-dimensional thermoplastic forming capabilities, allows visually seamless designs, offers a virtually limitless range of colours and – for some shades – exhibits a special translucency when exposed to light. Although HIMACS is almost as robust as stone, it can be worked in a similar way as wood: it can be sawn, routed, drilled or sanded.

HIMACS is made using a next-generation technology, the thermal cure. The temperature reached during the manufacturing process sets HIMACS apart from other solid surfaces and creates a denser surface that is even sturdier, more homogeneous and more durable, and with better resistance and superior thermoforming results.

HIMACS does not absorb humidity, is highly resistant to stains and is easy to clean, maintain and repair. HIMACS is composed from premium-quality materials, ensuring a surface that is free from harmful substances such as silica, formaldehyde, VOC emissions, and nanoparticles. Prioritising health and safety, HIMACS offers peace of mind for any environment.
Countless internationally recognised certificates attest to the quality of HIMACS in terms of ecological commitment, hygiene and fire resistance – being the first Solid Surface in the market to receive the official European Technical Approval (ETA) for façades – for the Alpine White S728 colour.
