Case Studies
CaesarStone is a beautiful engineered quartz stone which comprises
approximately 93% natural quartz. Practical, durable, and attractive it has
significant advantages over natural stone and other surfacing materials due
to its superior strength and quality.
The following tests show the superiority of CaesarStone’s physical
properties compared with various typical natural stones (performed by

Head Chef, and owner, Bjorn Van Der Horst, commented: “My kitchen will be used heavily, so
CaesarStone was the natural choice for my work surfaces because it is so strong, scratch and stain
resistant.
One of the major factors for me is that it’s non-porous – this is very important, as the surface will get
such heavy use. When serving the public on a daily basis hygiene is always one of the main priorities to
be taken into account, and I know this element is covered with CaesarStone.”

Granite House by Stonemasters, Lancashire
Brian Johnstone of Stonemasters consulted with the client, Mrs Bordi, who was originally looking for
polished concrete for her kitchen. After initial meetings it soon became clear that a manufactured stone
would be more appropriate for Mrs Bordi, who stipulated a surface which was hardwearing and stain
resistant.
Granite House recommended CaesarStone as a product which matched these requirements, and the
colour was something the client knew instantly was right for her, and something which couldn’t be
matched by any other stone provider. “Its simply delightful” commented Mrs Bordi, “it really sets the
scene in the kitchen.”

Our client required a sleek, modern and clean lined kitchen to create a clear contrast with the original
beams and woodwork. We recommended CaesarStone Blizzard as a perfect stain free, clean, crisp and
versatile material with which we could fabricate a large 100mm mitred edge to contrast with the
handle-less units and appliances.
Our client Lee Newton gave clear guidelines as to the look and style and was impressed with the design,
qualities and finished project, commenting: “All my ideas and concepts have been designed, created,
over achieved and installed by Domostone leaving us with a superb eye catching kitchen and a hassle
free white quartz worktop, which we thought would not be possible.”

Kitchen designer, Darren Jenner, believes CaesarStone offers a more contemporary and modern look
and feel to a kitchen: “I think granite is more of an old fashioned and traditional material to use. With
CaesarStone you get a modern appearance with a surface which is much more aesthetically pleasing.
Caesarstone offers consistency of colour due to the fact that it is man-made, which makes matching
joints far less problematic from a fabricators point of view, with a far better result for the client.”

Luis Barbosa of London Marble Ltd explains: “Its an extremely workable and reliable surface. From a
fabricators perspective it is a very economical and cost effective material to work with. This is due to the
fact that the stone is man made and there is always complete colour consistency, ensuring far less
waste, which is good for us and the environment.
It is extremely rare to get any negative feedback with CaesarStone, which means we are constantly
achieving client satisfaction, which means everything in this business.”

Paul Froud of Stoneworx met with Twinings to discuss their requirements, here it was discovered that
among other factors to be considered, stain resistance was the highest priority. With this in mind Paul
proposed CaesarStone on the strength of its stain resistance.
Twinings commented: “The CaesarStone has been in the herbal tea tasting room now for almost 2 years
and is still like new. The main concern for Twinings was staining of the surface, but Stoneworx assured
us of its stain resistance and they were right. The tasting room is used daily and requires minimal effort
for cleaning.”

Derek Neil of Silkwood Furniture considers the fact that the material is man-made a major advantage,
due to this providing consistency in colour every time, plus, there are none of the flaws you would
expect from natural stone.
Derek commented: “CaesarStone makes my job easier as you know what is delivered to the client is the
same as the sample they’ve seen and chosen. This isn’t always the case with natural stone. You’re
always going to have those inconsistencies and flaws which make the surface that bit more difficult to
match up.”

Simon Bray former Kitchen Designer of the Year, commented: “From a design point of view, I like to work
with CaesarStone, not only because of its immense practical qualities, but it’s great from a design
perspective, and there’s a huge colour palette to choose from.
I like to use CaesarStone when I require a less busy work surface, and CaesarStone is available in a
wide range of ‘solid’ colours. I would never use a light coloured granite in a professional chef’s kitchen;
the surface needs to take heavy pounding, and CaesarStone doesn’t stain like granite, or need to be
sealed.”
“I have been working in the kitchen for a
year now, and there isn’t a mark on the
CaesarStone... it’s brilliant”

Steve Dempsey of Ebstone Kitchens worked with the designer to try to achieve the clients wishes, to
have a very clean modern appearance in the kitchen, something which tied in with the look and feel of
the rest of the living area.
CaesarStone was recommended to the client due to their brilliant white colour, Blizzard, which would be
a perfect contrast to the black and white units and stainless steel appliances. Steve commented: “This
was something the client was happy with on the initial plans, and even happier once the whole kitchen
was installed. It gave a bright look and feel to the kitchen and an appearance of greater space.”

Prima Granite and Marble
Vivienne Warman of Kitchen Co-ordination
This kitchen was on the front cover of Essential Kitchen, Bedroom & Bathroom. Vivienne Warman
consulted with her client and one of the main criteria for the kitchen was that it was to have a strong
main colour which dominated, but didn’t overpower the rest of the kitchen. Vivienne chose to go for
CaesarStone Blizzard, a very strong white. Vivienne commented: “The client loved the Blizzard and
agreed it was a perfect colour to complement and contrast the remainder of the kitchen, with a black
glass back splash to add a touch of drama and definition, brilliant white walls for to keep the room bright
and open, and the high gloss lacquer and walnut veneer cabinets to add a contemporary feel.
Two surface depths were also used, 100mm build up on the kitchen units and 30mm on the island. I
think the varying depths work extremely well together and add another dimension to the kitchen. My
client was extremely pleased with the end result, as was I.”

Marble Building Products
Nick Bendell of Marble Building Products worked closely with the client on this project. “The client
required flooring for the reception area and board room, and sought a surface that was both hard
wearing, but also attractive looking. A surface was also required for the reception area. Plus in addition
to this, a feature item was required for the board room.
After carefully researching varying surfaces, our recommendations were to use CaesarStone for all areas,
because of the product advantages of it being a man made stone surface, therefore offering complete
continuity of colour consistency. Quartz Reflections was chosen for the flooring, firstly because of its
extrememly hardwearing nature, and also the mirrored chip within the quartz injects life into what can
often be a stale commercial environment.
“The client was pleased with this as they
do also pride themselves on their green
credentials as a company”
As a feature item we thought the board room table could also encompass the same material, as this is
the main feature within the room, and it also ties the whole design together. This was built into a solid
wooden frame with a glass surface on top.
The reception area was only a small surface, and again, as something a little different we suggested
Mosaici Carbone, part of CaesarStone’s re-cycled range. The client was pleased with this as they do
also pride themselves on their green credentials as a company, and felt this was a very fitting material to
have in the main customer meet and greet area.

CaesarStone proudly presents the world’s first quartz surfaces with an embossed, textured look and feel.
Developed by CaesarStone, Motivo™ is a brilliant new technology that enables you to create
pattern-designed finishes from our range of surfaces.
Motivo was created by a unique technique developed by CaesarStone’s team of cutting-edge design
professionals. The new Motivo technique creates a sand-blasted effect while still adhering to
CaesarStone’s high quality standards and physical properties. This means that Motivo surfaces are
non-porous, equally care-free and therefore applicable for kitchen backsplashes, wall panelling, vanity
tops, custom-made furniture and more.
The Crocodile (Black 3100) and the Lace (White 2141) patterns represent current samples available in
stock. However, the Motivo technology can be implemented to create any desired pattern (subject to
colour & quantity).
Please contact CRL for the full Motivo brochure.
