Stone Bath Top With Integral Sink

Corian Tumbleweed


Corian Camel

Ann Sacks Showroom
This Awesome stone sink vanity was displayed in the Ann Sacks showroom at the Laguna Niguel Design Center. I immediately thought of a number of solid surface colors that are so similar it would be hard to tell which was stone and which was not. The point isn't to necessarily have a "look alike" but to show similarities in different products.  More to the point, an aesthetic that can be translated using a solid surface product that might not have been visualized without my gentle prodding.  The photo above the picture shows a color by Corian.  I took the photo with my I Phone with the veining in the horizontal position, however, it is running vertically and I don't know how to correct it so you might just have to turn your head to the side so see it.  Bear with me, I am new at this!




Marbled Corian Tabletop

Gueridon
Corian has just come out with a new series and the marbling is incredible. This is actually the bottom or underside of the sheet of material which has so much more movement and pattern showing. It was cut to put on the brass Gueridon table which nestles in between two reading chairs. How can something so small look so fabulous!

Look Closely; Is It E-stone or Solid Surface??



You had better look twice at photos that look like Engineered Quartz products because they might be Solid Surface!! That's right, Staron by Samsung has completely reinvented the possiblities with their Tempest collection. The qualities of solid surface such as moulded in sinks, coved backsplashes and nearly invisible seams along with the capapbilities to renew, repair and refurbish if needed just blow engineered quartz out of the water. Go to http://www.staron.com/ to look at the Tempest collection.
