iQuartz: The Affordable Premium Upgrade
iQuartz is our flagship engineered quartz solution, developed to offer an aspirational, low-maintenance finish that instantly elevates the look of any kitchen. It is the perfect material for developers looking to offer a demonstrable upgrade over standard laminate worktops.
Why Choose iQuartz for New-Builds?
• Upgrade on Laminate:
iQuartz provides a clear step up in quality and durability that directly appeals to modern homebuyers.
• Superior Durability:
The non-porous surface is highly scratch, impact, heat, and stain resistant. This resilience minimises post-completion remedial work and ensures the worktops maintain their stunning appearance long after handover.
• Non-Porus:
Unlike natural stone, iQuartz does not require sealing. Being non-porus makes it hygienic, easy to clean, and highly resistant to common household stains—key benefits for busy homeowners.
• Affordable Luxury:
iQuartz offers the same functional and aesthetic benefits as other premium quartz worktops but is positioned at a more affordable price point, ensuring you can deliver a luxurious look within your development budget.
• Stylish Appeal:
Available in a carefully selected palette of colours and patterns, iQuartz creates a high-end, contemporary aesthetic that boosts the marketability of your properties.
iQuartz Design Aspects for Specification
• Choice of Thickness:
Available in both 20mm and 30mm thicknesses, allowing developers to choose the optimal weight, feel, and aesthetic to match different kitchen designs and price points across their range.
• Colour Versatility:
Available in 8 popular colour patterns, covering a spectrum from pure whites and light greys to dark, rich marbles, ensuring a selection that complements various cabinet styles and flooring choices.
• Seamless Look:
We utilise large format slabs (3200 x 1600 mm). This generous size significantly reduces the number of necessary joints in expansive kitchen layouts, resulting in a cleaner, more fluid, and professional finish.
• Samples and Consistency:
While physical samples show a small section of the material, full slab images are always available for reference during the specification phase. We also ensure clear communication regarding slight variations that may occur due to the manufacturing process, maintaining transparency throughout the supply chain.
iCeramic: The Sustainable, High-Performance Option
For premium specifications, or projects where the highest level of performance and environmental responsibility is required, our iCeramic range is the superior choice. This advanced material provides exceptional resistance and offers distinct health and sustainability benefits that appeal to environmentally conscious buyers.
Why Choose iCeramic?
• Maximum Durability & Practicality:
iCeramic is engineered to be more resistant to heat, stains, and scratches than even quartz. It is built to handle the intense demands of daily living and heavy use, offering unmatched longevity.
• Sustainable Choice:
iCeramic is a fully recyclable material, positioning it as one of the most environmentally responsible worktop solutions available. This feature allows developers to effectively communicate their commitment to green building practices.
• Safety & Health:
A major benefit of iCeramic is that it carries none of the health risks associated with Crystaline Silica, which is found in Quartz worktops. This provides peace of mind for both installers and end-users, reflecting best practice in modern material specification.
• Cost-Effective Performance:
iCeramic delivers the same market-leading performance and benefits as other ceramic worktops, but at a more affordable price point, making high-specification projects more commercially viable.
iCeramic Design Aspects for Specification
• Natural Inspiration:
The designs are deeply inspired by natural stone, offering a beautiful, sophisticated aesthetic that combines high-end looks with unparalleled practicality.
• Extensive Colour Range:
Available in 12 versatile colour patterns, providing a broader selection to cater to diverse design requirements, from minimalist industrial to rich, earthy schemes.
• Uniform Core:
Ceramic slabs have a uniform core, this is visible on exposed edges, sink cut-outs, and drainer grooves.
• Seamless Look:
Similar to our quartz, iCeramic utilises large format slabs (3200 x 1600 mm) to dramatically reduce the visibility of joints in large kitchen spaces, ensuring a smooth and luxurious feel.
