Tell me about the stone
Just like its name, Crystal Gold granite is a thing of beauty. Large to medium-sized golden crystals are spread throughout the stone, blended with a range of finer, subtler black and white stones. The effect is a grainy granite which from afar, appears a soft gold tone.
Crystal Gold is a great choice if you’re looking for a stone with consistency. The pattern is fairly uniform, and while each tile will have its own unique, granular design, the overall effect is predictable and reliable. There are no striking veins or irregular patterns, just a beautiful speckled effect.
Granite is a perfect option for those with a busy family home who require a tile that can stand the test of time. It is one of the hardest stones on the market, making it suitably scratch resistant. It’s ideal for those wanting a hardy countertop or dressing room tile because it is naturally heat resistant. A hot curling iron or frying pan is unlikely to damage the stone’s gorgeous coloring.
The hard wearing nature of granite means it is suitable for a variety of locations throughout the home. Its stunning design means it works great as a kitchen backsplash or bathroom wall tile, but it can also be used for flooring, countertops and many other applications.
Tell me about the tile’s finish
The crystals within this stone are brought to life by the stone’s polished finish. After the tile has been ground down, it is buffed to create a beautiful glossy sheen. The brightness of the colors within the stone are revealed, deepening the dark tones and lifting the whites. If you’re looking for a stone with clarity to its coloring, a polished finish is the one for you.
A glossy sheen works great as a countertop or dressing room surface because it can be cleaned easily. There are no bumps or grooves which will hold the dirt, the smooth face of the tile needs only a quick wipe. It’s also great for shower rooms. The granular pattern hides evidence of dirt, meaning you can focus more on enjoying your interior – rather than cleaning it.
What overall look will I achieve
The varying hues within the stone create the perfect starting point for a number of different styles. Take hints from the dark shades by pairing the stone with modern navy-blue kitchen units. You’ll create a sumptuous, moody interior that can be brightened up with lighting beneath the cupboards. Alternatively, use the golden tones to match with warm-hued wooden furniture for a slightly more traditional look. Add cream-colored walls and neutral soft furnishings for a cozy, homely feel.
