Meet the material

Flowing grey veins and pores in a real Rumett mineral surface
Rumett surface detail. Colour and grain belong to the material.

Gypsum and bio-ash. A surface of their own.

Rumett combines gypsum and bio-ash in mineral panels with an exposed cast finish. The grain and variation are part of the surface you see, giving the material a visible role in the room.

Explore the surfaces

01 / The ingredients

What goes into the panel.

Gypsum is the mineral at the heart of the panel. It is combined with bio-ash to form Rumett’s cast material.

The panel has no paper facing, and its surface is designed to remain visible without an applied coating.

02 / The surface

Made to remain visible.

Variation gives each panel its character. Look closer, and the fine grain becomes part of the story.

03 / The next use

Think beyond the first installation.

Keeping a panel in use starts before it is installed. Removable connections, accessible fixings and a plan for careful handling can make it easier to recover components when a room changes.

The aim is to use the panel again as a panel, keeping the finished surface in service.

01

Plan the installation

Consider the frame, fixings and access alongside the surface.

02

Remove with care

Plan handling, condition checks and where panels will go next.

03

Find the next use

Confirm the recovered panels suit their next installation.

Reuse and recycling are different steps.

Reuse means using an existing panel again. Recycling means processing material to make a new product. Both need a practical route: somewhere the panel can be used, or a processor able to accept its material.

Ask about suitability for reuse and the options available for the specific product in your location.

Look at the whole life of a material.

Ingredients are part of the picture. Manufacturing, transport, installation, maintenance and what happens after use all matter.

For a fair comparison, the options should provide the same function and cover the same stages of use. Include the supporting construction and finishes, too.
