What it's used for
This sample box is designed for design professionals, interior architects, decorators and manufacturers who work with Jesmonite and need to visually communicate possible finishes to their clients. It is also useful for studios and workshops that want to present their offering in a tangible and distinctive way.
- Commercial presentations to end clients and architecture studios
- Finish comparison between the AC100 and AC730 product lines
- Display of textures, colours and metallic effects (AC730 Flex Metal)
- Support material at trade fairs, showrooms and project meetings
- Physical reference to validate tones and surfaces before producing a piece
- Sales tool for workshops offering custom decorative pieces
How to use it
- Identify what type of project or finish you are discussing with your client (smooth casting, mineral effect, metallic finish, etc.).
- Present the corresponding box: AC100 for standard casting and laminating projects, AC730 for high-definition mineral finishes, AC730 Flex Metal for metallic effects on flexible surfaces.
- Allow the client to touch and observe the samples under different lighting conditions to assess colour, texture and surface finish.
- Use the samples as a reference to agree on pigmentation, texture and surface treatment before starting production.
- Complement the presentation by explaining that final finishes may vary depending on the pigment, mould and application technique used.
Usage tips
Organise samples by product family
Keep the three boxes separate and clearly labelled. If your workshop regularly works with Jesmonite AC100 for casting and laminating, you can always start with that box and move on to the AC730 variants depending on the project profile.
Complement with your own samples
The sample boxes are an excellent starting point, but we recommend also making your own test pieces with the specific colours and textures you offer. This way the client sees exactly what they will receive. To do this, you can use a suitable mixing paddle and work with precision in the mixing process.
Keep the samples in good condition
Cured Jesmonite samples are durable, but intensive use can wear or stain them. Store them in their boxes when not in use and wipe away any dust or grease with a dry cloth before each presentation. A sample in good condition conveys professionalism.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the materials in each box?
Each box corresponds to a different product line. AC100 is a water-based acrylic resin suitable for casting and laminating, with a versatile mineral finish. AC730 is formulated for high-definition decorative finishes with a stone-like appearance. AC730 Flex Metal incorporates metallic fillers and flexibility, ideal for applications where a metallic effect is required on surfaces with some elasticity.
Can I use these samples to select exact colours?
The samples show real finishes of the cured material, but the final colour of a piece depends on the pigment, the mixing ratio and the technique applied. The boxes are a visual and tactile finish reference, not a fixed colour catalogue. To validate a specific tone, the most recommended approach is to make your own test piece with the chosen pigment.
Are they suitable for use in presentations to non-technical clients?
Yes, that is precisely what they are designed for. The cured samples allow anyone, without technical knowledge, to evaluate the appearance, texture and weight of the material. It is a highly effective communication tool in meetings with end clients, interior design studios or architecture projects.
Can these samples be used as a reference when quoting a finish?
Yes. Physically showing the finish before quoting reduces misunderstandings and facilitates client approval. By agreeing on a tangible sample, you avoid later revisions due to misaligned expectations.
What materials are used to achieve the finishes shown in the samples?
The finishes you see in the boxes are achieved by working with Jesmonite AC100 or its AC730 variants, with pigments specific to acrylic resins, and applying casting or laminating techniques as appropriate. Tools such as the mixing paddle or additives such as the thixotropic agent and the retarder allow you to fine-tune the technique and working times.
Can the samples be cut or modified to suit a specific presentation?
Technically the cured material can be worked with standard cutting tools, but it is not recommended to modify the samples in the boxes, as they would lose their value as a standardised reference. If you need samples of a different size or format, the most practical approach is to make them yourself in the workshop.
Are there sample boxes for other Jesmonite product lines?
In the Feroca catalogue you will find the Jesmonite AC730 Sample Box as an independent reference, in addition to this box which includes the three main product lines.
