MUST-HAVE: Wilsonart's Quartz and Laminate Products, Reviewed

January 28, 2015 in Decorating, Designing, Shopping

LIVE @ Modenus' #BlogTourVegas!

As an interior designer, I’m beginning to become a bit “granite-weary” when it comes to countertop selections. (Quoting my Twitter friend, Laura Jenkins)

It's becoming obvious that people are itching for something different. And, as evidenced by what I saw at KBIS, it looks like manufacturers have been listening, as there were more quartz options than ever before.

Wilsonart's

Quartz Products

Wilsonart’s display of their new quartz options for countertops excited me the most at KBIS. 

I love all of their new white options, mostly because I prefer the way white is able to make a kitchen or bathroom look fresh and uncluttered. The drama of the darker ones - those with a hint of veining - are really appealing as well.

 

Wilsonart's Take:

"Versatile. Consistent. Translucent. Ambiguous, Hard, Shiny, Cool to the touch, Modern, Colorful. Resilient. What material has so many natural and manmade characteristics and equally captivates consumers and designers? Quartz, the doppelgänger of stone. This high-tech manmade material is equally suited for the home as it is for a hospital, hotel, office or resort.  As the earth’s second most abundant mineral, quartz offers unlimited opportunities for discovery among homeowners, architects and builders."

 

Here are a few of my faves:

Laminate Products

I don't know about you, but I also found these laminate products from Wilsonart to be fun and exciting!

Patterns and colors that you can design and customize for a particular project are what designers LOVE to get their hands on. Take a look at these fun colors and options! (Oh, and they’ve got blackboard laminate too!)

Wilsonart has always been a reliable leader in surfacing. That's why...

I’m looking forward to using their products on some of my upcoming projects. ;-)
