Caesarstone, pioneers of the quartz worktop category over 35 years ago, have released their first Porcelain Collection in the UK. The new range contains more than 20 unique worktop surfaces, all of which are covered by a lifetime warranty. It launches in the market this July. Caesarstone now offers both porcelain and quartz surfaces under a single brand.
Caesarstone began designing and manufacturing worksurfaces in 1987, the pioneers of quartz worktops, their surface expertise and premium brand is known around the world. Caesarstone Porcelain arrives after an intensive two-year design and R&D programme in which the brand focused more than three decades of stone surfaces experience in the creation of the brand’s inaugural suite of porcelain surfaces.
A brand synonymous with design, Caesarstone Porcelain presents a new aesthetic that is redefining kitchen countertops, with richer colours, bolder designs, larger patterns, and tangible textures. The new range contains more than 20 designs, all of which align to one of Caesarstone’s current collections; The Metropolitan Collection – a diverse suite of designs that celebrates the industrial aesthetic; The Supernatural Collection – a comprehensive group of evocative surfaces inspired by the limitless beauty of nature; and The Classico Collection – elegant shades that provide a classic foundation for any interior.
Mor Krisher, Caesarstone’s Chief Designer explains what he and his team wanted to achieve with the collection, “We took stone back to its roots – to a raw, warm, earthy place – employing a range of colours, from delicate tones and pastels to warm shades in bold and dramatic patterns. Our goal was to emphasise the stone’s materiality rather than attempt to flatten it, to pull out the texture. The feeling should be natural above all.”
He continued, “Kitchen surfaces require a sense of robustness and longevity. They should be timeless additions to their environment. When we design, we really do so with the specific application in mind, so the focus on worktops is central. We craft each product with the end user and their space in mind.”
Quartz and porcelain are the two fastest growing categories of kitchen worktops in the UK and Caesarstone is the only company to offer both materials under one brand.
Porcelain surfaces are sometimes described in the market as ceramic, sintered, compact or ultra-compact material. They blend ceramic clays, other natural materials and mineral colourings which are then pressed. The design is then printed on the surface before the slab is fired. Quartz surfaces, sometimes described as engineered stone, are a blend of quartz minerals and other natural materials with polymers and pigments. These are then moulded, compressed, and heated to form the slab.
The final look and technical performance of either porcelain or quartz surfaces is based on the quality of the raw materials, as well as the expertise and capabilities employed in crafting them. Caesarstone considers both as perfect kitchen worktop surfaces, and manufactures its surfaces with high quality raw materials, via a meticulous and innovative process, honed over the last three decades. The resulting products both offer industry leading aesthetics with exceptional durability, backed by a lifetime warranty.
