Verde Lara is a cream, green, light brown, light grey, marble look granite material that comes in a polished & satin texture. It is supplied to Polish Granite by Levantina company specialising in stone slab production.

Why Verde Lara is the perfect material for stone kitchen worktops?

Sturdiness, longevity and incredible heat resistance define granite worktops. Granite is a natural, volcanic rock full of compressed, melted and cooled down minerals that imbue this material with the renowned toughness. This is predominantly why granite is utilised for kitchen worktops, where cooking is constant and a threat of potential damage always looming.

With cream, green, light brown, light grey, marble look Verde Lara granite kitchen worktops, you won’t have to worry about scratches or indents – even the sharpest knives cannot impact the integrity of granite. The same applies for intense heat. Granite can withstand even the highest temperatures, so the worktop can easily work as a stand for that boiling pot of soup or the red-hot oven dish, with no damage inflicted.

If regularly impregnated, the wavy Verde Lara granite worktops also become water resistant. That means they will never warp, unlike wood or laminate worktops, nor stain or discolour. In almost every way, kitchen granite worktops are superior surfaces that aren’t only beautiful (as the sample above signifies), but are also functional tools that provide aid in the everyday kitchen life. Polish Granite are here to customise and adapt your natural stone into virtually any project. The possibilities for granite uses are infinite – this applies both to indoor and outdoor designs.

What thicknesses are available for Verde Lara?

The slabs of Verde Lara by Levantina are available in 20mm or 30mm thicknesses. This stone material depth is ideal for multiple applications. From big projects like kitchen worktops, paving, flooring & wall cladding to smaller installations of coffee tabletops, dining tables or windowsills. Surfaces of this depth are manufactured in bespoke fashion, tailor-made to complete even the most demanding projects.

What makes Verde Lara so unique?

Product colour description:

Pale colours, like the shade of cream on Verde Lara by Levantina instantly fill a given interior with youth, minimalism and brightness. If you possess a relatively darker kitchen, cream must be your go-to kitchen worktop colour. Cream worktops are an ideal addition to darker cabinets like black, green, dark brown, or dark grey flooring. However, a pairing with lighter shades also creates a gorgeous scheme, bestowing warmth and cosiness to the given interior.

The green hued Verde Lara granite is guaranteed to fill any given living space with vitality and a relaxing aura. If your home is rich in vegetation or otherwise bereft of it, we strongly recommend incorporating this stone as a kitchen worktop material. It fabulously complements any setting and bestows it with a calm, cheerful charm. The green + cream, white, light grey or black are our preferred contemporary colour combinations.

Our light brown kitchen worktop colours, like Verde Lara granite, embody the magnetic power of eye-attraction. They are intricate and unusual. At first, we associate light brown worktops with hardwood, often utilised for kitchen surfaces. But at second glance, the mocha-hued material ends the deception, and we realise (still enchanted), that we’re gazing at stone. Light brown kitchen worktops are superb for lovers of natural motifs, vintage accents and rustic spaces. The light brown + cream pairing is our absolute favourite.

The light grey colour of Verde Lara by Levantina is without a doubt the most frequently purchased hue in our collection. This is today’s trend, after all. Grey spaces no longer evoke the feeling of industrial melancholy, instead elements like light grey kitchen worktops are implemented into modern architecture because they represent novelty and minimalism. A highly sought-out, attractive colour that instantly becomes the heart of any setting. And because of its deemed universality, it pairs with almost every type of cabinet, from white gloss, through to black matte or brown, classic raw wood.

The marble look pattern contains veins streaming and pulsating down the length of Verde Lara by Levantina. They animate this surface, granting it energy, depth and chromatic richness. Organic, marble effect colours pair well with a cabinet of virtually any colour. But above all, they are stand-out centrepieces on kitchen islands, where the organic patterns cascade down the edge, flowing onto the adjoining side panels. This natural theme is universally applicable to similar or contrasting colours.

Material structure & composition:

Another ‘organic’ theme in our marble-look range is the wavy design, as displayed on Verde Lara. This pattern is distinguished by (as the name suggests), wave-like features that stream across the slab. Like dunes in the desert or undulating waves cleaning a sandy beach. This material is strongly recommended for lovers of peaceful, serene motifs as part of their home design.

Material recommended for:

• Flooring,
• Fireplace surrounds,
• Bathroom & utility room tops.

What textures/finishes is this product supplied in?

The cream, green, light brown, light grey, marble look Verde Lara by Levantina can be supplied in a ‘polished’ texture. This means a scintillating gloss that beautifully reflects the light and highlights the true colours & pigments embedded within the product. The polished texture is one of the most popular surface finishes, mostly present among quartz worktops and granite worktops, although ceramic suppliers also adopt this finish for their stone slabs. These surfaces are easy to clean and prevent all liquid absorption.

‘Satin’ i.e. matte finish is exclusive to the cream, green, light brown, light grey, marble look Verde Lara by Levantina – a coarse feel that replaces the standard polish usually seen on other stone worktops. Products finished with the satin look are popular among those who desire less synthetic, porcelain glaze and more stone-like naturality in their kitchens. The deceptiveness of satin finish gives the impression of delicate, soft feel, but in actual fact the stone matches the hardness of a diamond. A matte look is superb for those who desire a less refined, organic edge to their kitchen.
