A Guide to Bathroom Surfaces

Whether it’s for beautiful baths or statement shower enclosures, finding the right bathroom surface can be daunting. With more choices and material varieties than ever, homeowners and designers can easily find the perfect option for their scheme, from both a practical and an aesthetic point of view. 

Granite

The Cullifords range has some of the most sought-after granites from around the world, with a selection of beautiful, durable and functional choices available in various tones. Warm and earthy options like Juparana Bordeaux Granite and Marinace Aquarius Polished Granite are perfectly suited to current colour trends, whilst moody and striking designs like Diamond Fall Granite and Amazonite Granite would be perfect for creating a statement. The durable aspect of granite makes it an ideal material for use in the bathroom, as well as the kitchen. 

Marble

In its purest form, Marble is white in colour but it can range from soft pink, greys and blues to stronger greens and reds with elegant veining and unique patterns, as can be seen with the Arabescato Orobico Rosso Marble and White Beauty Marble. Its unique characteristics make it an attractive option for homeowners looking to add a designer statement to their bathroom. 

Natural Quartzite

Natural Quartzite is a highly durable material that is resistant to scratching and makes a great feature wall, especially when used behind the bathroom basin. As can be seen with the Dolce Vita Quartzite and Cristallo Quartzite slabs, this material is known for having a seamless appearance, making it advantageous for homeowners that are looking for a sleek and coordinated setting. 

Ceramics

 Ceramics are inherently water, mildew and mould resistant, making them perfect for high humidity spaces. They are available in large slabs, reducing the number of seams needed to create a smooth modern look in the bathroom. As can be seen with the Arabescato and Calacatta Macchia Vecchia SapienStone Ceramics, they fit perfectly into place, offering excellent technical performance and style, particularly when applied to both walls and floors. 

Limestone

Limestone is a soft, natural stone, which exudes personality and warmth. The attractive material is available in muted hues as well as more golden tones, from versatile greys through to enriching creams, as can be seen with both the Jura Beige Limestone and Jura Blue Grey Limestone. The natural feel of Limestone makes it a popular choice for bathrooms, due to its timeless and calming aesthetic. 

Onyx

Onyx is one of only a small selection of natural materials that are translucent, allowing light to pass through them, amplifying their beauty. The colour spectrum is extensive, from soft greens, such as the Green Onyx, right through to subtle pinks, such as the Pink Onyx. This material has become a popular choice in interior design, with it being particularly well suited to saunas and spa-like bathrooms, thanks to its luxurious yet soft and relaxing appearance.
