CaesarStone

CaesarStone had a new collection called "Motivo" featured in Interiors & Sources. Unfortunately, there is very little information and only a few pictures available on the website, so I'm highlighting aspects from the entire CaesarStone collection.

The two pictures are from the Motivo collection, which demonstrates textures in wall and countertop applications (Crocodile 3100C above and Lace 2141L below).

Motivo is a highly visual and tactile architectural experience. This product line is the world's first quartz surface with a textured look and feel. This line features a brilliant, patented new technology to apply an embossed effect to a variety of surfaces. Motivo makes a stylish statement with its patterned finishes, shown Lace and Crocodile. Motivo is nonporous (as are many quartz surfaces), easy to care for and appropriate for numerous applications, including wall paneling, custom-made furniture, kitchen countertops, vanity tops and more.

CaesarStone is comprised of 93% natural quartz (with many lines offering recycled content) and has earned the ISO 9001 Certification. It claims to have a lifetime warranty, as long as you own your home - but some conditions apply.

Since the quartz surface is nonporous, cleaning is very simple. Most often, soap and water or a mild detergent are all that are needed.

CaesarStone has many attractive characteristics: it is stain-resistant, scratch-resistant, resistant to most chemicals and heat, crack-resistant, low maintenance, nonabsorbent, nonporous, mold-resistant, mildew-resistant, and color consistent.

With a variety of color and pattern options and edge profiles, CaesarStone allows for much customization to make one's project unique - they offer a visual texture, and with the Motivo collection, a tactile texture. Three finishes are available with the standard quartz lines: polished, honed (matte), and textured.

NSF safety certified to prevent bacterial growth since it is naturally nonporous. It has also been awarded the Good Housekeeping® Seal, the standard in consumer product excellence. All CaesarStone products are certified as a low-VOC product, meeting Greenguard’s Indoor Air Quality standards for chemical emissions for commercial sensitive environments.
