...it has to be Caesarstone

Simon Bray former Kitchen Designer of the Year, commented: “From a design point of view, I like to workwith CaesarStone, not only because of its immense practical qualities, but it’s great from a designperspective, and there’s a huge colour palette to choose from.

I like to use CaesarStone when I require a less busy work surface, and CaesarStone is available in awide range of ‘solid’ colours. I would never use a light coloured granite in a professional chef’s kitchen;the surface needs to take heavy pounding, and CaesarStone doesn’t stain like granite, or need to besealed.”

Head Chef, and owner, Bjorn Van Der Horst, commented: “My kitchen will be used heavily, soCaesarStone was the natural choice for my work surfaces because it is so strong, scratch and stainresistant.

One of the major factors for me is that it’s non-porous – this is very important, as the surface will getsuch heavy use. When serving the public on a daily basis hygiene is always one of the main priorities tobe taken into account, and I know this element is covered with CaesarStone.”

“I have been working in the kitchen for ayear now, and there isn’t a mark on theCaesarStone... it’s brilliant”

Steve Dempsey of Ebstone Kitchens worked with the designer to try to achieve the clients wishes, tohave a very clean modern appearance in the kitchen, something which tied in with the look and feel ofthe rest of the living area.

CaesarStone was recommended to the client due to their brilliant white colour, Blizzard, which would bea perfect contrast to the black and white units and stainless steel appliances. Steve commented: “Thiswas something the client was happy with on the initial plans, and even happier once the whole kitchenwas installed. It gave a bright look and feel to the kitchen and an appearance of greater space.”

This kitchen was on the front cover of Essential Kitchen, Bedroom & Bathroom. Vivienne Warmanconsulted with her client and one of the main criteria for the kitchen was that it was to have a strongmain colour which dominated, but didn’t overpower the rest of the kitchen. Vivienne chose to go forCaesarStone Blizzard, a very strong white. Vivienne commented: “The client loved the Blizzard andagreed it was a perfect colour to complement and contrast the remainder of the kitchen, with a blackglass back splash to add a touch of drama and definition, brilliant white walls for to keep the room brightand open, and the high gloss lacquer and walnut veneer cabinets to add a contemporary feel.

Two surface depths were also used, 100mm build up on the kitchen units and 30mm on the island. Ithink the varying depths work extremely well together and add another dimension to the kitchen. Myclient was extremely pleased with the end result, as was I.”

Nick Bendell of Marble Building Products worked closely with the client on this project. “The clientrequired flooring for the reception area and board room, and sought a surface that was both hardwearing, but also attractive looking. A surface was also required for the reception area. Plus in additionto this, a feature item was required for the board room.

After carefully researching varying surfaces, our recommendations were to use CaesarStone for all areas,because of the product advantages of it being a man made stone surface, therefore offering completecontinuity of colour consistency. Quartz Reflections was chosen for the flooring, firstly because of itsextrememly hardwearing nature, and also the mirrored chip within the quartz injects life into what canoften be a stale commercial environment.

As a feature item we thought the board room table could also encompass the same material, as this isthe main feature within the room, and it also ties the whole design together. This was built into a solidwooden frame with a glass surface on top.

The reception area was only a small surface, and again, as something a little different we suggestedMosaici Carbone, part of CaesarStone’s re-cycled range. The client was pleased with this as they doalso pride themselves on their green credentials as a company, and felt this was a very fitting material tohave in the main customer meet and greet area.
