Properties of granite worktops

Granite is a traditional and commonly used material for kitchen and bathroom worktops. The high hardness of granite and its resistance to abrasion mean that worktops made from this material are much more resistant to impact and scratches than most other commonly used materials such as laminate, wood or mineral (solid surface) worktops.

Granite consists of natural stone, including quartz, feldspar and minerals. Granite is quarried in the form of blocks in different parts of the world, e.g. India, Africa and South America. Granite is a natural material and therefore even the same granite varies in texture and colour. This has to be taken into account when implementing the project. On the other hand, the use of granite in worktops adds exceptional originality and uniqueness to the design.

What is DEKTON®?

The Dekton slab is a combination of natural raw materials (glass, china and quartz) and the latest technologies of the 21st century. Stone material is transformed into a highly compressed slab under the pressure of 25 thousand tonnes in special conditions (particle sintering technology). Thanks to this mega-compression and technology, we get a slab that will last us a lifetime. It does not need to be renovated.

We receive

• a slab of a size that was previously impossible to produce
• top quality workmanship
• a slab that is easy to keep clean and stain-free! (no porosity, Dekton does not absorb liquids)
• aesthetics (colour stability, uniformity of pattern, elegance)
• extremely high strength parameters (resistance to: bending, impact, scratches, UV light, fire and high temperatures, frost)
• lightness (the material is lighter than granite but much stronger and harder than it)

Where can the Dekton slab be used?

The possibilities are limited only by our imagination. We use Dekton in modern kitchen and bathroom designs, as wall coverings. It looks great on facades or on heavily used floors.

Advantages of the SILESTONE quartz conglomerate

SILESTONE® offers the following surface types:

Polished – this is the Silestone’s original polished quartz surface. The look of the material will stand the test of time. With the brilliance of a surface as smooth as natural stone, polished Silestone remains popular around the world. The depth of the pure quartz surface shows the elegance and clarity of Silestone.

Suede – a stylish, textured surface is available in a wide range of the Silestone colours and gives the quartz surface an exceptionally soft feel. This distinctive texture of the quartz worktop evokes a touch of exoticism.

Volcano – is a quartz surface texture created by Silestone in a rustic form while providing a visually soft surface. Volcano was developed by the research and development department in search of a new attractive surface for kitchens and bathrooms.

What is TECHNISTONE®?

It is a modern material – a high-quality quartz conglomerate composed of natural materials that are combined and processed using the latest Breton technologies. Technistone consists of 95% natural materials – mainly quartz and granite – and 5% additives. Thanks to its unique properties developed during production, Technistone meets all the expectations of today’s kitchen worktop users. These additives are components that give the material the appropriate hardness and colour pigments that provide aesthetics and colour stability. Technistone is identical to natural stone in its properties and even surpasses it in some aspects. The material is available in slab sizes of 304×140 cm and in thicknesses of 20 and 30 mm and 12 mm (for most materials).
