Architectural stone benchtops, splashbacks and surrounds
Architectural stone is a modern, customisable and environmentally conscious alternative to natural stone surfaces. It’s a versatile material that retains the beauty and elegance of natural stone, with lower maintenance requirements and an extensive selection of colours and styles.
One of the main components of architectural stone is quartz, one of the strongest minerals in the world, meaning architectural stone surfaces are incredibly chip and crack resistant. Unlike most natural stone surfaces, architectural stone does not require regular sealing in order to maintain its beauty and durability.
Long-wearing and hygienic
Thanks to the resilience of quartz, architectural stone benchtops are scratch, chip, and stain resistant. But architectural stone’s real benefit, when compared to more porous natural stone, is that it’s more hygienic for use in areas where liquid and water is likely to be spilled. This makes architectural stone a great choice for both kitchens and bathrooms.
Increased design flexibility
While natural stone is limited by the size of the slab extracted from the quarry, architectural stone can be manufactured to suit your project, allowing an unmatched level of customisation and flexibility.
Environmentally sustainable
Architectural stone surfaces require a lower amount of energy to produce than natural stone, making it a preferred surface for environmentally conscious designers and homeowners.
