Dark and sophisticated, Ceralsio Belvedere Black is a ceramic surface which will make a striking impression in the modern setting, whether chosen in a Natural or Polished finish. Combine with other on-trend materials such as timber for a stunning effect, made all the more special with the beautiful marble-inspired patterning running throughout the surface.
Ceramic surfaces have a big role to play in the overall look and feel of a space. In the kitchen and bathroom in particular, practical considerations need to be made while also bearing in mind the visual impact of such visible fixtures as worktops, countertops, splashbacks and even flooring, making this material a more than suitable solution.
Surfaces such as worktops, walls and floors are highly visible aspects of a room’s design, making their visual impact undeniable but, in spaces like the kitchen and bathroom, they also need to be highly practical. Style, finish and colour are all important considerations, but so are functional elements of the materials chosen, such as maintenance, durability and resistance to things like water and heat.
This accounts in large part for the growing popularity of materials like ceramic in kitchen and bathroom design. Extremely hardwearing, ceramic is non-porous, stain, scratch, heat and shock resistant and also very strong and simple to care for, making it ideal for kitchens. From an aesthetics perspective, it doesn’t disappoint either, with ceramic surfaces available in a wide range of colours and patterns, as the Ceralsio ceramic collection from CRL Stone demonstrates.

Alternatives such as ceramic offer the opportunity to embrace this trend, both from a style and functional perspective. Although ceramic can be chosen to emulate natural materials such as marble, ceramic doesn’t need to be sealed which means maintenance is straightforward.
Revised classic marble and granite patterns displaying elegant veins used on kitchen worktops and on bathroom walls and floors create a sophisticated ambience that is the epitome of luxury and sophistication. The ancestral charm of stone makes it one of the most popular materials in contemporary design, with ceramic ensuring that this look is solid, durable and extremely versatile. Ceralsio ceramic surfaces, for example, are designed to interpret both more minimalist tastes as well as the more refined and stylish ones.
