From luxury to modern styles, up your home’s aesthetics with these stone surfaces offered by Lian Hin. If you’re not sure which one to go for, each stone surface presents different uses and an infinite number of looks. To narrow it down, get acquainted with these different man-made and natural stone surfaces below:
Granite
A type of natural coarse-grained stone, granite is quarried within the earth so expect distinctive variations in colour and pattern within every slab. No two are exactly alike. This 100 percent natural surface is also highly resistant to heat, scratches and bacteria and makes a decent countertop for the kitchen and bathroom.
Applications: Walls, and kitchen and bathroom countertops.
Quartz
A highly popular surface amongst many modern homeowners, quartz is a type of manmade stone manufactured with 80 to 85 percent of the hardest minerals in the world mixed with polymer resin and pigments. It is well-received because of its non-porous nature which does not require sealing; unlike most natural stones.
Applications: Walls, flooring and kitchen and bathroom countertops
Marble
A symbol of luxury, marble has long enjoyed a strong following with its sophisticated veining and variety of elegant colours. As a metamorphic rock, it is considered to be a more delicate natural stone than granite, and therefore is less practical for surface applications of heavy usage.
Applications: Flooring and walls
Sintered Surface
One of the latest surfaces to watch on the market today, sintered surfaces are a man-made stone with non-porous attributes comparable to quartz. It is manufactured with highly-sophisticated Italian machinery and technology. Since it does not require sealing, it boasts antibacterial properties and stands up well to dirt, odours and stains. These large-format slabs present minimal joineries which offer a more seamless appearance.
Applications: Walls, and kitchen and bathroom countertops
