Vimar has teamed its experience accrued over more than 75 years of tradition together with innovation, which has always distinguished its solutions and products, to put together Linea.
A series of cover plates and controls featuring an unprecedented and elegant design, which brings together the understated allure of sophisticated styling with state-of-the-art technology. With Linea, innovation comes together with tradition, thanks also to multiple patents registered to make it truly one of a kind. Painstaking research and in-depth studies into design have given rise to a veritable item of interior décor, both discreet and distinctive, whatever the architectural setting.
Linea is intuitive: the distinctive profile and soft curvature of the controls makes interaction with the various functions immediate and straightforward.
Linea is elemental: its minimal design leaves plenty of room for the control surfaces.
Linea is connected: thanks to the smart and home automation system versions, it connects domestic settings with the needs of everyday life.
Linea is dynamic: with the innovative XT platform, the automated home becomes a veritable sensory experience.
Distinguished by minimal thickness, Linea provides perfect flatness between the cover plate and the controls and is gently interrupted by the delicately curved profile of the new aligned button: its slight protrusion and the generous 53 millimetre surface thus makes it easy to find with your fingers, generating a satisfactory tactile silk effect provided by a special finish. Once activated, the control resumes its original position, guaranteeing perfect alignment at all times thanks to patented In-line technology. Two elegant backlighting modes: with the stylish square on the standard control or with a vertical beam of up light in the dedicated button which generates a soft glow on the cover plate and creates a charming luminous effect on the wall. Axial controls, which are precisely activated thanks to patented technology, further emphasise the flatness of Linea and the perfect alignment between the buttons and the surface.
Linea is born smart: more than 200 functions meet the needs for comfort, energy efficiency and safety of contemporary life. The ideal solution for refurbishments, to boost the functions of an existing system or in the event of a new system installation. Indeed, thanks to the View Wireless system, settings can be restyled and updated easily without requiring masonry work to control and manage lights, roller shutters, the temperature in every room, accesses and energy consumption levels remotely via App or voice assistants.
Linea is also natively for home automation systems, with two different designs to create a perfectly coordinated and matching connected system. The conventional modular bus platform for Home & Building automation has been supplemented with the innovative XT platform that makes the By-me Plus home automation system an even simpler and more immersive experience: it stands for “eXperience Technology”, an innovative high-tech experience for the automated home, with full-surface controls for a distinctive perfect flatness that makes it one of a kind.
With its understated and user-friendly design, this product also offers a wide range of customisation options, in different ways: thanks to clear, self-explanatory icons which can be selected from an extensive library of static symbols, or thanks to a broad range of static or dynamic LED matrix icons that can be programmed using the View Pro App, to make each product customised and different and accommodate all customer requirements while enhancing the identity of the accommodation facility.
The XT platform provides an enhanced user experience; the scalability and expandability of its structure make it possible to boost and move the front functions extremely easily, without having to adjust any wiring, turning a control of lights and roller shutters into temperature management and scenario activation. This product is also innovative in its ultimate flexibility and the multitude of opportunities it offers, including the 1-module button which can be used to manage up to no less than 4 different functions in a single control, making it an extremely functional and flexible product, with the possibility of carrying out between 1 and 20 activations in 2-, -3 and 4-module boxes.
This dynamism of increasing functions on the same control device is an advantage both during the installation phase and in renovations, and this is without masonry work, thereby making it possible to create entirely customisable and modifiable compositions to suit the customer’s specific needs. The proximity sensor in the advanced modules and in the thermostat allow you to activate the device simply by approaching it with your hand; three different brightness levels can be set, for greater discretion at night, allowing for reduced device electricity consumption.
The XT platform also integrates perfectly with Linea modular devices: indeed, perfect coordination can be achieved between the two platforms thanks to the mixed mounting frames, which can accommodate electromechanical and electronic connector blocks with 1 or 2 modules, such as socket outlets, together with XT home automation controls.
All Linea and the Linea with XT platform controls are available in three different colours: black, white and canvas to blend in with any domestic context and stylishly match various materials and the 12 different finishes painstakingly selected for the cover plates, resulting from specific eco-friendly processing.
Linea is a perfect combination of design and functionality to create a product in which Vimar’s positive energy becomes pure innovation.
