The surfaces are easy to clean and resistant to impact, abrasion, scratching, chipping and cracking.
4 new Smartstone collections are now available, each offering exclusive colours and patterns to suit every style and taste.
“The pure, clean quality and absolute consistency of our surfaces can’t be found anywhere else; these colours are exclusive to Smartstone,” said Kalpou.
The Paris Collection features khaki greens and browns; the Toledo Collection is more earthy, with creams and beiges.
The Santorini Collection offers pure, clean whites, and the Milan Collection is made up of sleek black and greys.
