Palladio Quartz
Palladio quartz is a grey stone with delicate crackling black veining. From afar, this stone looks like a fully grey slab without detailing, but up close, their tiny cracks can be easily noticed. These interesting and intricate details will make your guests interested in your home decor with every visit.
Being between light and dark, this stone will allow you to either bring light into a room or create depth, depending on the surrounding decor. Palladio is stain and water resistant, however, it is not resistant to heat damage. Hot pots and pans, as well as other heated items, should not be placed on this stone’s surface. Despite this warning, this stone still makes a perfect kitchen countertop, bathroom countertop, vanity top, or backsplash. It is an effortless enhancement to your home, and its durable nature will have it making a statement for years to come. If the stone’s coloring and patterning are not what you desire, you can customize it to suit your needs as quartz is a man made material.
