Full Body Veining

To better mimic the pattern of natural stone, Neolith’s latest sintered stone products feature the company’s proprietary three-dimensional veining technology, which integrates colors and patterns throughout slabs and is visible even along edges. Developed to enhance the company’s thicker ½" and ¾" slabs, it will be rolled out in a Full Body Veining collection this year.

Wilsonart has an affordable laminate developed for use in wet areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms, right over existing ceramic tile and gypsum. The lightweight waterproof panels have tongue-­and-groove edges for easy installation without grout and feature patterns that mimic ­materials like wood and marble.

Known for its unique stone-processing techniques, Italian manufacturer Antolini developed this finish to add ­drama to exterior and interior stone surfaces. Linen (shown here on a granite called Black Ice) extends the company’s Textures+ Col­­lection and can be applied to an array of slabs.
