Product Spotlight – Athena

September 26, 2023

Having firmly concreted itself within the housebuilding market, Athena Surfaces continues to create spaces that are both aspirational and affordable

Over the past 10 years, Athena Surfaces has built up a renowned reputation amongst housebuilders and developers for being the number one worktop supplier, supporting their customers with real innovation including 72-hour turnaround times as standard, targeted sales support and their own range of products which are perfect for house builders looking to add margin to their builds.

Now, with changes afoot in the worktop market, Athena is looking to the future of worksurfaces and have partnered with Mirage Porcelain of Italy to provide their customers with a range of 20mm Porcelain worksurfaces that are taking the market by storm.

Mirage by Athena stands as a game-changer within the work surfaces industry, seamlessly fusing the robustness of sintered stone with the design versatility of premium Italian Porcelain. This innovative blend allows you to effortlessly create spaces that are both aspirational and affordable. All too often large housebuilders have been unable to offer premium quality products that are popular in the retail market due to price constraints. Athena has managed to bring the price of this premium product into the realms of the volume housebuilder budget, thereby allowing them to keep up with current trends and offer their customers the work surfaces that they want.

Not only is porcelain eco-friendly it also offers a remarkable list of attributes that set it apart from other surfaces. Due to it being scratch resistant, heat resistant and stain resistant, it ensures peace of mind for house builders and end users alike, making it the perfect choice of work surface and floor covering.

Athena has also launched its housebuilder range of floor and wall tiles, named Luxus, which match the worksurface offering meaning that housebuilders can design spaces that flow with indoor and outdoor tiles, work surfaces and walls all in the same material. These are spaces that sell.

Mirage by Athena offers an opportunity for consumers to create unique kitchens where worktops, flooring and walls can effortlessly blend. This design product versatility and aspirational aesthetic enables exceptional functionality and creativity to become present within any space or home.

As the market begins to see quartz worktops as more of a commodity, Porcelain will begin to become the more luxurious worksurface choice. Athena plan to be at the forefront of this market shift, continuing their quest to get the best possible products for their customers at the lowest possible prices. As always, they aim to make the aspirational affordable.
