Just a generation or two ago, consumers were limited to just a handful of stone choices, both in terms of type and color. For ages, the luxury of marble has been the featured design element in most bath and kitchen remodeling. However, technology advancements have grown the category, influencing the manufacturing process and bringing prices down with unlimited choices. For example, manufactured––engineered, porcelain stoneware & sintered stone too!
The Brief
Vestibulum posuere pharetra massa, in scelerisque orci pulvinar in. Suspendisse tristique vehicula ante. Nam consequat nibh justo, non sollicitudin sem placerat vitae. Praesent dignissim sem a auctor scelerisque. Duis placerat dui ac tortor tincidunt, pulvinar condimentum ex euismod. Vivamus ultrices vitae tortor ut rutrum. Integer sed pharetra neque, ut commodo tortor. Maecenas vehicula semper tortor, ut auctor diam ornare ut. Pellentesque et ex et dolor tempor suscipit. Phasellus vel orci vel orci tincidunt interdum. Nunc quis viverra metus. In cursus tempor purus et tincidunt.
Recapturing the Beauty and Look of Natural Stone
For instance, engineered-made surfaces, like porcelain stoneware & sintered stone, are combinations of raw materials, extraordinarily resilient and non-porous. Further, these ultra-compact surfaces create a wholly new and original material category. And are ideal surfaces for kitchen countertops, bathrooms, flooring, walls, and outside areas. Manufacturers like Neolith, Porcelanosa, Lapitec, Cosentino & Florim products are durable for outdoor architectural building exteriors and indoor décor.
Kelmendi continues,
“Manufacturers like Porcelanosa, Neolith, Cosentino, Lapitec & Florim have developed the next generation of architectural surface material. Standing up to the demands of daily life, we see these materials requested beyond kitchens and baths.”
“Sintered stone & porcelain stoneware selections can have a similar appearance to natural stone but are nonporous, unaffected by UV rays, and maintenance-free. The preferred choice for outdoor kitchens and recreation areas,” states Kelmendi
Meanwhile, tile and stone trends change constantly, and technology has only escalated those changes with 21st-century manufacturing. Engineered materials like porcelain stoneware and sintered stone – recapture the beauty and look of natural stone. However, creating the look of natural stone but with low maintenance, stain restraint qualities, and easy-to-clean benefits. Subsequently, you don’t have to worry about fading.
