Showroom Display Lincoln

This is a display in the Sota Living, a kitchen company based in Lincoln, showroom. It features a large, U shaped worktop run that features a hob cut out and an integrity sink. The worktop has been fabricated out of Silestone Charcoal Soapstone, a stone inspired by the popular “soap stone”, this colour has a blue-grey finish with powerful, grey highlights. It is a spectacular creation, characterised by its rotundity, depth and sense of movement. Next to the sink features some laser cut drainer grooves, a convenient and functional addition to the surface. 

Silestone is a fabulous option for a worktop, as it has a multitude of benefits. The kitchen is notoriously known for being the heart of the home, a central hub in the house, meaning a hard wearing surface for the worktops is the perfect option.  As a brand, Silestone has so many benefits to their surfaces, such as being scratch and stain resistant, as well as withstanding extreme temperatures. The upkeep is minimal for the surface, hence why it is such a popular choice for the home. Overall, this simple design and low maintenance worktop result in a match made in heaven for the heart of the home.

Silestone is a very popular choice for kitchen worktops, for a variety of reasons. One benefit to this product is that it is man made. This mixture of natural stone, resins and dye results in a reinforced stone that is capable of resisting scratches and stains, as well as temperature exposure. No staining means the surface repels things that may damage the stone, but it is also non-porous, allowing it to also repel bacteria. The surface can’t absorb harmful bacteria that can sit on the surface, hence making it brilliant for kitchens and high traffic areas. It would also be unfair to suggest that a man made stone wouldn’t be as aesthetic as a natural product, as this is far from the truth. They are specifically designed to emulate natural products, to provide the customer with a product just as beautiful, with an enhanced performance.
