Los Angeles-based quartz surface spe-
cialist Caesarstone USA Inc. has added
a never-before-seen finish to its
Classico collection. Rugged Concrete
presents what product developers call
"a medium gray base camouflaged by
billows of white with a masculine
energy that exudes confidence, com-
petence and fortitude."
"Rugged Concrete will offer a
clean, industrial look, perfect for
modern spaces," says Caesarstone
USA Vice President of Marketing Nick
Harris. "We are excited to see the
way this color option will completely
transform different spaces whether
it's used as a countertop surface,
wall paneling, furniture or in other
creative ways."
Caesarstone casts 5.5- x 10-ft.
slabs, ¾- or 1.25-in. thick, from
mixes bearing up to 93 percent quartz
plus resin and proprietary binders.
Finished surfaces are non-porous plus
heat, stain and scratch resistant.
