Silestone Eternal D'Or

From the Eternal series: a bright white ground crossed by gold-toned veins — not scattered gold flecks as in Calacatta Gold, but real veins that run the length of the slab and set its direction. This is a surface that announces itself, so it works best against quiet cabinetry and without a statement splashback competing with it.

Polished, in 2 and 3 cm, on a 327 × 159 cm slab. With veining this directional it is worth choosing the actual slab in the gallery and marking the layout before cutting — particularly on an island with a waterfall edge, where the vein should carry from the top down the side.
