Magnetic Technology

MagFace® is a patented dry-installation system for removable architectural surfaces based on controlled magnetic technology, designed to eliminate the need for permanent adhesives and demolition.

The system is based on a technical layering process that allows for controlled physical interaction between the substrate and the surface, ensuring stability, reversibility, and the reuse of materials.

Yes. MagFace® is a completely dry system that does not use any permanent structural adhesives.

It doesn't replace it: it goes beyond it by introducing a reversible, industrial, and circular model.

Safety, Magnetic Fields, and Regulations

No. MagFace® is certified and complies with Directive 2013/35/EU. It is safe for sensitive individuals, children, pregnant women, and people with pacemakers.

Static magnetic fields are less than 0.5 mT, with average operating values around 0.2 mT, well within indoor safety limits.

No. The system uses a North/South magnetic grid that self-compensates every millimeter, preventing any buildup or amplification.

No. MagFace® is passive and does not emit active electromagnetic waves or RF interference.

No. Smartphones and computers generate dynamic fields and active emissions that are significantly higher than those of the MagFace® system.

Yes. It is compatible with pacemakers and medical devices under normal conditions of use.

System and Components
