We make the surface believable.
Pretone is a decorative laminate studio. We translate the soul of a real material — its grain, its light, its hand-feel — into a surface you can build with, by the hundred, without exhausting a quarry.
“From slab to sheet, the goal never changes — keep what makes it real.”
A material studio, not a print shop.
Most laminate is a photograph stretched over board. We work the other way around. A decor begins as an object in our studio — a slab of marble, a block of grey stone, sometimes a texture we sculpt ourselves — and our job is to carry its character intact onto a surface anyone can specify.
That means scanning at resolutions where a single pore is visible, retouching by hand to remove only the flaw you'd never want repeated, and engineering an emboss plate that lets your fingertip feel exactly what your eye sees.
The result is a catalogue of surfaces that pass the closest test there is: people reach out to touch them, and still don't believe it's laminate.
Seventeen years of pressing.
A single press
Pretone begins in a small workshop with one press and a stubborn belief that laminate could feel real.
The scanning studio
We build our own high-resolution scanning room to capture marble and stone the way light actually finds them.
3D emboss
Our first deep 3D embosses ship — texture engineered into the sheet so closely that touch and sight finally agree.
Four finishes, 40 countries
A focused range of marble, stone, solids and textures, pressed to a single standard and shipped worldwide.
Three rules we don't break.
Honest materials
We start from the real object — never a stock photo. If a vein looks too perfect, we put the flaw back.
Designed for the hand
Colour is a screen decision. We design for the moment a hand lands on the surface and decides it's right.
Quietly durable
The best surface is the one nobody has to think about for twenty years. We engineer for that silence.
Don't choose
from a screen.
