Choosing the right stone for your construction or renovation project is essential.
Ceramic has become hugely popular for its blend of stunning aesthetics and strong, durable technical specifications – which is the combination you need for long-lasting, great-looking surfaces.
This article explores the characteristics and benefits of ceramic stone.
The Benefits of Ceramic Stone: Why Consider It?
Ceramic stone combines beautiful aesthetic qualities with strong technical specifications, offering a vast range of benefits:
Durability and Resistance
Ceramic stones are known for their incredible durability. They are highly resistant to scratches, heat, and impact damage, making them ideal for high-usage areas. Oyster Ceramica by Landford Stone boasts scratch and heat resistance, which is crucial for kitchen worktops and bathrooms.
Low Maintenance
These stones require minimal upkeep. They are easy to clean and maintain, making them a practical choice for well-used spaces.
Ceramic stones offer a range of colours and finishes. This allows you to choose a style that perfectly complements your space, whether you’re aiming for a modern, sleek look or a more traditional aesthetic.
Water and Chemical Resistance
Ceramic stones are typically impermeable to water, chemicals, and humidity, making them ideal for bathrooms and other moisture-prone areas.
Hypoallergenic Properties
These materials are non-porous and do not allow bacteria to grow, ensuring a hygienic surface that’s ideal for kitchens and bathrooms.
Suitable for Outdoor Use
Unlike some natural stones, ceramic is also suitable for outdoor use, as its colours are unaffected by UV rays and it is frost resistant.
Eco-friendly
Ceramic is more eco-friendly than some engineered stones, as it does not use any resins or silicones.
