The next generation of countertops When it comes to upgrading a kitchen, choosing a countertop can be a difficult decision. Your countertop is probably the largest surface area in the kitchen, and therefore impacts on how the kitchen area looks and feels. Often, the kitchen also plays a large role in deciding on a home’s worth. So getting the design right is imperative if you are thinking of selling your home in the near future. Up until now there have been a from a myriad of options from marble, granite, quartz, concrete, butcher block, laminate, tile, soapstone, stainless steel, paper composite, and recycled glass. And just to add more confusion into the mix now there is a new surface to choose from sintered porcelain slabs known as Neolith. Neolith is an amazing product. Born in the kilns of Italy it is as pretty as granite and as solid as marble, a revolutionary product that can vary in thickness providing solutions for every possible application (counter tops, flooring, bathrooms, panelling, cladding, facades).Neolith doesn’t scratch or stain, is heat and fire resistant, and, thanks to the extremely low absorption rate of technical porcelain is ideal for food contact and processing. 142 THE WORLDWIDE PROPERTY BIBLE - www.simplymedia-group.com
