Why SapienStone kitchen countertops are the top

2018-11-23

Every little element must be carefully considered when designing a kitchen .
A mistake in the choice of compositional elements, structure, internal accessories and, above all, materials can have a very great impact on the functioning of what is definitely the most lived-in room in the home.
Kitchen furnishings are more subject to stress from use than any others: the kitchen is the heart of the home for everyone, and is used every single day, making it indispensable to consider practicality as one of the key priorities in design.

The kitchen countertop, in particular, is one of the most critical elements to identify and appearance should not be the only factor when making a decision.
The kitchen countertop is used for a great variety of different purposes: we place utensils on it, we prepare food, and perform all sorts of other tasks on the kitchen countertop.
SapienStone has revolutionised the concept of the kitchen countertop, combining unmatched beauty and design with a series of technical benefits that make the countertop a high-performing surface on several levels.
 
The core of the SapienStone kitchen countertop is porcelain, a ceramic material with an unenamelled surface with outstanding features that have made it an unrivalled success.
 
So let us find out why SapienStone countertops are the best choice when choosing the material for your kitchen countertop.

Resistance to heat and temperature shock
 
The porcelain in SapienStone kitchen countertops stands out for its incomparable resistance to heat and temperature shock.
These factors are particularly important for practicality in everyday life.
Just think how convenient it would be to be able to put a pan hot off the stove or a dish you have just taken out of the oven directly onto the countertop, without worrying about protecting it!
The slabs are not affected at all by sudden changes of temperature and remain unaltered in both appearance and structure.

Hardness
 
The compactness of the SapienStone material makes its surface incredibly hard. Porcelain is in fact the hardest material available on the market.
This makes the kitchen countertop so strong it cannot be scratched, so you can give free rein to your creativity and imagination without having to use a cutting-board or other base: sharp objects such as knives and other heavy objects and steel tools can be used directly on its surface without fear. And if you drop a kitchen utensil or a particularly heavy pot, you will not chip your countertop or damage it at all, so it will remain perfect and just the same as the years go by!

Stain resistance
 
The great structural density of SapienStone slabs gives the kitchen countertop another very important property for enjoying use of a material that remains the same despite years of use: impenetrability.
Porcelain is non-porous, protecting the countertop from the risk of absorbing substances of any kind, however greasy or corrosive: oil, wine, vinegar and lemon juice stay on its surface and can easily be wiped off with a cloth.
It will be obvious that this means you can enjoy working in the kitchen without worrying about damaging your countertop, resting foods and substances of all kinds on it and proceeding to prepare your recipes without concern.
This feature also brings another significant benefit: you no longer need to use aggressive cleaning products of the type normally used to remove stains. The product maintains its original beauty and the impact of your actions on the environment is significantly reduced.

Hygiene
 
Science tells us that porous materials encourage proliferation of bacteria.
SapienStone countertops eliminate this risk: the compactness of the material it is made of prevents this process, and simply wiping the countertop sanitises it perfectly, an important advantage for a surface in contact with food.
It is also important to note that SapienStone kitchen countertops do not emit Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), which are very harmful to the health and which countertops made of other materials may release in contact with acidic foods or in the proximity of heat sources.
 
Design
 
And then of course there is the marvellous aesthetic performance of SapienStone products, capable of giving kitchen furnishings a decorative impact of unequalled design and prestige.
The variety of available finishes ranges from precious stones to rare and valuable marbles and the latest new products inspired by wood species unveiled at Cersaie 2018.
21 colours are available, with 3 finishes (natural, polished and pre-polished), in slabs 12 millimetres thick and 320 cm long by 150 cm wide.
This eclectic product is available in versions to suit all tastes and styles.
Moreover, introduction of through veins in the slabs reproducing marbles and stones makes for a material of unprecedented quality: the pattern on the surface runs right through the slab, in three dimensions, for a countertop of unmatched elegance.
 
The success of the SapienStone countertop has been decreed by the company’s ability to combine design and practicality in a product with unique qualities offering an effective response to a great variety of decorating requirements without giving up practicality or technical performance.
Moreover, the SapienStone countertop is a natural product designed to have a low environmental impact because it is made from clays and mineral colours and can be recycled when no longer in use.
