Maxtop launches next generation of
its one-of-a-kind worktops
Unique modular quartz surface
specialist, Maxtop Quartz, has revealed
the next generation of its one-of-a-kind
worktops, complete with a seamless
finish, stylish 1.5mm bevelled edge and
now including marble-effect finishes. Yet, unlike heavy solid stone alternatives,
the unique interior makes it much
simpler to handle and install, reducing
characteristics typically associated with
solid surfaces, such as time, cost and
order/installation time.
Over the last 12 months the company
has invested £2m into building a
purpose-built factory in China to
manufacture the new product, which
is being hailed an ‘extraordinary
engineering feat’ by those in the industry. Stephen Moss, managing director of
Maxtop Quartz Ltd, comments: “Maxtop
Quartz has always been a unique
proposition in the surface market
and we’ve been working incredibly
hard behind the scenes to develop
the product to make it the best it can
possibly be.
Historically, each Maxtop surface
required four separate pieces of
quartz edge to be assembled around
the patented honeycomb interior to
create the worktop. Now, thanks to
the company’s significant investment
in R&D, the new generation of product
utilises just one solid piece of quartz
to encase the lightweight centre,
streamlining the manufacturing process
and guaranteeing a seamless look and
finish.
The 1.5mm bevelled edge is a subtle yet
effective alteration, half the depth it was
on the original Maxtop surfaces.
As before, all Maxtop Quartz surfaces
are 40mm thick and made from solid
quartz.
“We’ve also revised our décors after
much careful consideration and are
confident that we have a shade for all
kitchen styles. The range now includes
a selection of timeless black, white
and grey finishes, but has also seen the
introduction of two marble-effect décors;
Alba and Tundra which we’re expecting
to be very popular.”
Boasting ten finishes in total, all Maxtop
décors are available for immediate
sale and installation and at a set price,
regardless of the décor.

Reeded Glass Shower Screens
Introducing the latest, on-trend
product launch from Aqata, the
DS402, a stylish reeded glass wet
room panel.
As the next big thing in bathroom
design the reeded glass
introduces a modern twist to the
concept of a modesty screen; the
clear glass lets the light into the
showering area, whilst the slight
blurring effect of the panels brings
an element of decorum to the wet
room.
