Which ranges feature in Heritage and Signature?
The Heritage collection brings together Authentic and Precision models. The Signature collection features Precision models exclusively.
Does Precision always mean glossy?
No. Depending on the model, Precision boards have a natural or glossy finish. Our new natural finish, developed with our manufacturer in Spain and exclusive to our brand, replaces the matte finish. Each product page specifies its finish.
Do these ranges define the wood used for the pieces?
This comparison concerns the boards. The wood species and weighting of the pieces are listed separately on each set’s product page.
How can I compare proportions?
The Size Guide helps you compare formats and match the base diameter of the pieces to the size of the squares.
Let the wood speak too
Your choice of range can lead you to a wood and a size that feel right for you.
