Description

Highgate is a quartz surface that is somewhat light gray in tone with a few gaps of white on the overall canvas-like appearance. The slightly darker gray veins are somewhat exaggerated and makes this stone a highly descriptive and intricate product. The Highgate is used for many contemporary-style homes and can be quite integral as a piece for creating distinct room layouts.

A stone known for such resolute and concrete settings, the Highgate is a quartz that can work with any design component you have in mind. Some of the indoor surfacing applications that the Highgate works with includes fireplace surrounds and vanity tops. The spotless representation that the Highgate provides is a prominent feature in a premier decor environment. Quartz is well-known for its resistant qualities against stains, scratches, and heat. The Highgate may not provide dramatic effects, but the fragility of the design harmonizes the overall presentation of your interior spaces. An enriched stone that uses vague neutral undertones to convey a sense of tranquility, the Highgate is a great addition to your home for intriguing your guests and family members. Highgate is typically used to reflect these palettes.
