Company introduces 50 designs inspired by “discovery”

TEMPLE, TX (January 20, 2015)  – 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.

Wilsonart, a leader in engineered decorative surfaces for more than 50 years, brings this versatile material to 2015 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show in Las Vegas (Booth N2149). 

“Bringing our own quartz line to the market furthers our ability to provide customers with a full spectrum of decorative surface options for any project they may embark upon,” says Alison DeMartino, Wilsonart Director of Marketing Communications. “As both our residential and commercial customers have discovered, quartz can fulfill a number of roles for both its aesthetics and performance.  We are catering to that demand and doing it in a beautiful and inspiring way, with the heritage of timely delivery and quality customer service our customers expect.”

The inaugural Wilsonart® Quartz patterns celebrate discovery with designs inspired by locations and cultures from as far away as the Gobi desert to the Midwest skies of the USA and native peoples of the Americas, Australia and Southeast Asia. 

Quartz designs can be broken into four simple categories based on structure. Each structure offers a particular look that can be tailored to design goals. By late spring 2015, the stunning selection of 50 patterns will showcase a full range of colors, textures and four structures: Fine and Small Scale, Medium Scale, Large Scale, and Veining and Movement. These stunning Wilsonart Quartz products will be on display during KBIS 2015:

Fine & Small Scale Structures: Sometimes the best designs are those that appear simple but are actually quite complex. The Fine and Small scale collection offers clean, low contrast, and streamlined looks. Subtle concrete with touches of sparkle, Soapstone with a dappled appearance, and small aggregate looks allow you to be modern and minimalist, or sleek and sophisticated.
