About Caesarstone

5

In 1987, Caesarstone pioneered the use of

quartz — one of nature’s hardest and most

abundant minerals. The company’s unique

mixture of ground quartz aggregates, pigments

and polymers proved to be the perfect

combination to produce surfaces that last a

lifetime. Since Caesarstone’s inception, the

concepts of sustainability, creativity, innovation,

performance and quality customer service

have been company benchmarks. Continuous

investment in technology, extensive research

and development, highly trained personnel

and an advanced market infrastructure place

Caesarstone at the forefront of design.

BEYONDTHE SPECTRUM

To be an innovator in the surface industry is

to constantly push the boundaries of color.

Caesarstone’s product development and

design teams tap into the latest technology

and trends to create fresh hues, textures and

tones. The exploration of color is at the core

of Caesarstone's innovations. This continuous

effort is international in scope and produces

a spectrum of unique colors. While nature

is always a source of inspiration, moving

beyond the conventional spectrum gives rise

to expressive colors that enhance design in

new and profound ways.

BEYONDCOUNTERTOPS

Conceptualization is where any plan begins, but the application of that plan is its true test. Experimentation and collaboration are the

foundation of the partnership between Caesarstone and its creative collaborators. The full realization of a specific design can only be achieved

with the right tools. Caesarstone provides the freedom to create custom spaces and unique applications that garner awards and international

acclaim — endorsing those who use the product as visionaries.

STRIKINGLY DIFFERENT

The acclaimed designers’ duo chose Caesarstone

Concetto surfaces for the yacht's lounge

area, which is designed with clean, elegant

lines and exhibits various elements from the

Concetto series. The resulting atmosphere is

uniquely intimate, resembling an enclave of

modern luxury. The structured panel features

a unique coat of Caesarstone's semi-precious

gem collection (Puro 8141), which in itself may

constitute piece of art.

THINK + CREATE

It starts as a surface. The vision is to give

architects and designers the power to

transform the everyday into the extraordinary.

The relationship between the material and

the professional is synergistic: each pushes

the other to greater creative expression.

When addressing tough design challenges,

the results are always innovative, functional

applications that exemplify smart design.

Ultimately what architects and designers

do with the surface is what confirms

Caesarstone's position as a creator of

world-class material.

Edge ProfilesThe unique properties and durability of Caesarstone quartz surfaces allow for anwide range of edge-profile design options. Many edge profiles are possible, from a standard edge to laminated or mitered edges which create the appearance of a thicker slab. All edge details should have a minimum 1/8” radius on any profile, for both top and bottom edges. For high-traffic areas, 1/4” minimum radius is suggested. Caesarstone Quartz Surfaces and Countertops can be fabricated with a variety of different edge options such as; double radius, bevel, double bullnose, miter edge, radius, ogee bullnose, triple ogee.
