Beyond Countertops
2. Ancient Material, Modern Cut
Designers are using natural stone in new
ways in both commercial and residential
installations thanks to technology that
reduces weight and improves strength and
versatility of marble and granite.
All of the designs here feature Polycor’s
composite backed Ultra-Thin 1 cm Stone.
The 1 cm slab is a lighter, stronger cut
that is applicable for both modern and
traditional designs.
