The Architect’s Newspaper, a trade outlet which covers the East Coast, Midwest, and West Coast in three print editions and online, speaks directly to architects with news, developments, trends, resources, and industry updates. This week, the newspaper included Neolith in their wrap-up of superior composite surfaces.

New for 2015, Neolith ultra-compact surfacing is available in a more floor-friendly format. Recently introduced at manufacturer TheSize’s booth at the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS), slabs now come in 5-ft. by 5-ft. tiles (1,500 x 1,500 mm) — a size unique to the sintered compact surface category.

Last week, at the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) in Las Vegas, Neolith introduced several new colors to the Classtone line of ultra compact surfacing material.

Here at Marble and Granite, Inc., you’ve heard us singing the praises of ultra compact Neolith surfacing for some time now. The folks at Architectural Products magazine are also on board, praising the material for its “great composition and capabilities.” In fact, the publication recognized Neolith with their 2014 Product Innovation Award!

The holidays are coming! You’ll soon be decking your halls with boughs of holly, if you haven’t already. But if you’re looking to do a little more renovating than decorating, be sure to check out Neolith ultra compact surfacing. It’s a surfacing material that’s definitely on our “nice” list.

The largest most compact material on the market, Neolith from THESIZE is touted for both its strength and functionality. It’s also one of the most versatile materials available. Its unique properties make it ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications— in both residential and commercial situations— including countertops, vanities, flooring, sinks, wall covering, building facades, cabinet exteriors, and more.

We love weathered finishes. We also love materials that create a distressed look without having to wait half a century for the natural weathered patina. Neolith’s Iron Collection offers a great alternative to actual reclaimed materials, especially since it also offers a durability unmatched by most surfacing choices today. Plus, they’ve added two new options to the collection, both of which are designed to provide more depth of pattern and contrast.

The word Neolith literally means “new stone.” But ask manufacturer The Size about this ultra compact, super slim material, and they’re likely to tell you it could also be called “new and improved stone.” Formed from natural raw materials and engineered to astounding degrees of durability, Neolith is having a profound impact on the North American surfacing industry. As one of the largest East Coast distributors of Neolith in the U.S., we’ve watched the demand for this innovative material grow over the past year, reflecting the success Neolith is experiencing overall in the North American surfacing industry.
