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.

Ask any kitchen or bath designer about some of today’s top trends, and they’re bound to mention the shift toward “seamless.” Whether it’s in the form of integrated appliances, disguising switches and outlets so they are barely noticeable, installing shower drains that allow tile to be set right in the drain for an uninterrupted appearance, or the blending of one living space into the next (such as the kitchen and adjacent family room), continuity is a key to good design. When it comes to surfacing, going “seamless” offers a blend of practicality and modern style.
