What is the Neolith that is talked about so much?
In the following article we explain in detail what Neolith is and what it is for.
In the reform of a kitchen , some key elements must be chosen, such as the type of furniture and the kitchen counter . From there, you have to add elements to complete the design of a kitchen reform, such as the appliances, the sink and the taps.
There are different types of countertops for a kitchen, and we always ask ourselves the following question: which countertop to put? The market offers us a very diverse range of materials with which to make the countertop:
- Melamine and plastic postforms
- solid treated wood
- silestone
- Neolith (countertop)
- Natural stone
- stainless steel griddle
- Ceramics
We design the renovation of your kitchen in Barcelona with Neolith, combining, for example, a Neolith Calacatta or Calacatta Gold countertop, with lacquered or post-formed doors, an integrated sink and a faucet with a pull-out spout to facilitate the removal of organic remains from the kitchen. dishes before placing them in the dishwasher.
Some examples of Neolith could be the Calacatta, the Strata Argentum, Pulpis, Calatorao, Estatuario, etc. There are many models and combinations with different textures. From solid colors to imitations of natural stones. ( https://www.neolith.com/collection )
Easy to find a color that can be combined with any other material, finish, etc...
Working with these materials is not expensive. The price of a kitchen reform with this type of material is expensive because it provides values that were unattainable up to now (sustainable, recyclable, reuses glass, great benefits, etc.), but there are also other options and combinations that allow us to achieve a kitchen renovation price that is not so expensive and just as beautiful and functional.
What is the Neolith that is talked about so much?
Neolith is technically a “sintered” stone, and sintering is a process of heating the raw materials that make it up in a furnace at very high temperatures, in different proportions. Let's say that it is an advanced version of porcelain stoneware, which is a ceramic "fired" at high temperatures, made from high-quality raw materials, to achieve high crystallization that entails very low or practically zero porosity and extraordinary hardness.

Disadvantages of Neolith
By always having a surface stamping (folios) there may be some difficulty in “matching the pieces”. Especially when you combine them with neolith shower trays, as they have another surface pattern.
In large-format pieces you have to have great expertise to place them well. It is better to work with "suction cups" to manipulate it.
In 6 mm thick pavements, it is necessary to be very demanding with the flatness of the support.
Whenever it is a large format, take the precaution of ordering the material with mesh on the back to avoid breakage (it must be indicated in the order)
As it can be placed in a large format, it is necessary to carefully study the access to enter the material into the work, especially when they are reforms of existing homes.
