Avorio by Neolith Ceramic

Avorio is a beige ceramic material that comes in a satin texture. It is supplied to Polish Granite by Neolith company specialising in stone slab production.

Why Avorio is the perfect material for stone kitchen worktops?

Thin, durable and incredibly tough stone surfaces like the beige Avorio ceramic worktops make for a great alternative to granite and quartz. Not only are they just as sturdy and long-lasting as other stone worktops, these surfaces are exclusively available in 12mm thicknesses (6mm and even 3mm may be obtainable upon request). This means the realm of new applications unlocked for these lightweight products is extremely broad, encompassing vast projects. From wall cladding to layering kitchen cabinets, ceilings or even furniture.

Sintered-stone, commonly known as ceramic or porcelain, is predominantly utilised for kitchen worktops. It’s the supreme properties that truly make them stand out. Ceramic worktops are exquisitely simple to clean and maintain; they can withstand mechanical damage; but above all, their heat resistance is matched by granite alone. After all, these products are wrought by the fusion of vast additives: powdered quartz, ground minerals, waste raw materials and other heat-resistant particles. As such, the boiling water, hot oil, burning pots and pans won’t bring ceramic worktops any harm.

The plain Avorio kitchen ceramic worktops are made to provide its users comfort and an ease of cooking. Their sole purpose is to withstand and endure the risks brought about by everyday use of kitchen facilities. Today, ceramic kitchen worktops are one of the strongest kitchen countertop options on the market. And a remarkable decor alternative to fragile paint, tiles or wallpaper.

What thicknesses are available for Avorio?

The slabs of Avorio by Neolith are available in 12mm 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.

Any stone surface available in 12mm (or under) is also ideal for wall, kitchen cabinet or even furniture cladding. These thin surfaces are equally as strong as their thicker counterparts, except their weight is severely reduced.

Consequently, they are superb products used to clad ceilings, walls, stairs as well as bathtubs, bathroom equipment, swimming pools or other waterproofed areas. Thanks to their low-weight attribute, they are likewise utilised to decorate furniture, or more commonly kitchen cabinets. These fragile elements benefit from the low mass as their delicate hinges and fittings don’t buckle under the weight. Meanwhile they are continuously protected from dirt, grime, or unintentional scratches, making them very desirable.

What makes Avorio so unique?

Product colour description:

The beige colour of Avorio ceramic really stands out when it comes to stone worktops. Out of our entire collection (600+ hues), merely 30 are beige. Regardless, beige is a harmonious, neutral shade that pairs very well with modern, glazed cabinets. A beige worktop complements white, grey or light brown units, the latter being a highly recommended ‘mocha’ pairing.

Material structure & composition:

This Avorio stone product is plain in nature. The consistent colour, unbroken by patterns or complex compositions is very desired by our customers. A stone worktop need not be elaborate to be displayed – homogenous stone worktops are often bought for their functionality. Contrary to widespread opinion, ‘basic’ colours are visually stimulating, befitting humble interiors or practical designs. One cannot forget that plain is the staple of the prevailing current trend: minimalism.

Material recommended for:

• Contemporary, minimalistic interiors,
• Tile & paint alternative,
• Bathroom & surface panelling.

What textures/finishes is this product supplied in?

‘Satin’ i.e. matte finish is exclusive to the beige Avorio by Neolith – 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.
