Planning a kitchen with natural stone worktops
/A key feature of any kitchen, worktops and surfaces will complete the look and feel of a design scheme. A natural stone worktop from Lundhs Real Stone will add a unique and authentic touch to kitchen islands and splashbacks alike, whilst providing numerous aesthetic and practical benefits. Surface choices need to be considered early on in the planning stages, from colourways and finishes to placement and style.
Choosing your natural stone
Each piece of Lundhs Real Stone is completely unique, meaning that the surface you choose will have its own unique fingerprint. At the beginning stages of kitchen planning, samples will form an important part of the process – natural stone will vary in its appearance so careful consideration must be taken when choosing your colourway and finish.
The Lundhs Real Stone collection is comprised of 4 different stones: Lundhs Emerald, Lundhs Antique, Lundhs Royal and Lundhs Blue, each with its own alluring appeal. All Lundhs Real Stone is 100% natural and is guaranteed to add visual interest to all interior schemes.
“Natural stone is the perfect surface choice for those wanting to make a unique statement in the kitchen. Its unique visual appeal and exceptional practical properties mean it is one of the best worktop solutions. Recently, we have noticed that homeowners and designers are taking more risks and being more creative with their kitchen surfaces – opting for striking features that will create truly impressive schemes.” Hege Lundh, Marketing Director, Lundhs Real Stone
Multiple surface use
The use of natural stone doesn’t just finish at the worktop – from splashbacks and integrated sinks to waterfall islands, a surface can truly envelope and frame your kitchen scheme. As an extremely durable and easy to maintain surface, Lundhs Real Stone can be applied in a number of different ways without fear of damage.
For maximum impact, consider a high splashback in the same natural stone as the worktop. The continuation of the surface and the glistening crystals will draw the eye and create a visual spectacle. Full coverage on the top and sides of a central freestanding island will deliver a similar striking effect, creating a dramatic and eye-catching focal point to the kitchen.
Maintaining your natural stone
All of the stones in the Lundhs Real Stone collection are 100% natural. The surfaces are therefore resistant to water, stains, heat and scratches, making them incredibly easy to maintain and extremely durable. The perfect kitchen prep surface, Lundhs Real Stone can withstand heat up to 300°C, meaning that hot pots and pans can be placed directly on the worktops. The natural stone’s resistance to water also means that a seamless look can be achieved with integrated sinks and wet areas, creating an interrupted design scheme that exudes style.
Made from one of the most unique and strongest stones in the world, Lundhs Real Stone is a truly one-of-a-kind piece. With glints of sumptuous silvery blue crystals, providing a connection to the outdoors, the 100% natural stone will act as a focal point with its stunning visual appeal and superior function.
Comprised of a complex blend of beautiful feldspar crystals, each individual piece of stone is completely unique with its own fingerprint. The product of minerals melting and mixing under extreme heat millions of years ago, Norway is the only place in the world where Larvikite can be found.
