Ivory Silk by Levantina Granite

Ivory Silk is a beige, cream, light grey granite material that comes in a polished texture. It is supplied to Polish Granite by Levantina company specialising in stone slab production.

Why Ivory Silk 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 beige, cream, light grey Ivory Silk 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 blemished & mottled & wavy Ivory Silk 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 Ivory Silk?

The slabs of Ivory Silk 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 Ivory Silk so unique?

Product colour description:

The beige colour of Ivory Silk granite 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.

Pale colours, like the shade of cream on Ivory Silk 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 light grey colour of Ivory Silk 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.

Material structure & composition:

The thicker blemishes and occasional veins of Ivory Silk spread throughout the surface in an irregular manner. The blemished surface creates a stunning, organic-looking composition reminiscent of polished marble. Finally, the worktop can brim with life which emanates from the depths of the intricate veins. This wild, untamed and unpredictable appearance will be ideal for lovers of natural stone elements, complementing other raw materials like wood, metal or glass.

Material recommended for:

• Modern kitchens,
• Kitchen islands,
• Waterfall/mitred side panels.

Mottled patterns are a common feature on our stone product spectrum. Such is the Ivory Silk material above, filled with speckles that disperse over the surface in irregular fashion, providing the worktop some depth and intricacy. Mottled stone products, whether man-made or organic, fit a whole range of spaces. But above all those traditional pubs or cottage-like interiors steeped with history and organic motifs.

Material recommended for:

• Traditional or historic spaces,
• Chopping boards,
• Fireplace surrounds.

Another ‘organic’ theme in our marble-look range is the wavy design, as displayed on Ivory Silk. 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 beige, cream, light grey Ivory Silk 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.
