Steve Turner, MD of Ethical Stone Register member, Amarestone, commented: “It has become an issue that must not be ignored and will trigger even greater demand for ethically and responsibly sourced stone. Major players in the construction industry will want to avoid the potential embarrassment of unsavoury practices in their supply


chain. The Ethical Stone Register will be the safe source for natural stone, and I can foresee that it will become a key resource for the specifier.”

Stoneline co-ordinates well with wood, marble and copper for an on-trend mixed material look and is rectified as standard – making it ideal for creating seamless continuous surfaces in popular open-plan living areas. A lappato polished surface adds the final touch to this series.


Peter Vann, Director of Ceramique Internationale, said: “Stoneline is an extremely versatile range that has the ability to transform any room with the beautiful and popular effect of genuine stone. Thanks to its various colour offerings and competitive price, we expect this collection to be very well received as it captures the same true-to-life look as natural stone for a fraction of the price and difficulty.”
