The bathroom has become an extension of our living areas and a space to escape, unwind and relax. This means minimal design is here to stay, with an uncluttered, neat finish being the goal. Large slab format surfaces fit into this trend, creating a seamless impression in bathrooms and shower rooms. Surfaces such as Ceralsio Ceramic and Inalco MDi from CRL Stone, are available in a large slab format and can be cut to an exact size to fit the space, achieving a bespoke solution with minimal grout lines and a seamless finish, even in awkwardly shaped spaces, with lots of corners and angles.
Importantly, the surfaces chosen for the bathroom need to work on a practical level in terms of ease of cleaning and durability too. Here again, Ceralsio Ceramic and Inalco MDi fully fit this brief. Both are non-porous materials that are highly scratch and stain resistant, so they stay looking their very best with minimal maintenance and after care – an important quality when used over large and visible areas of the bathroom.
Style is not compromised however, but rather with these surfaces it is enhanced, due to the wide selection available in each collection. Nature-inspired, Ceralsio Ceramic and Inalco MDi includes classic surfaces such as soft white, right through to sophisticated, strong designs such as Statuario and Meteora Gris.
The large format surfaces can be chosen as part of a bespoke shower solution from CRL Stone, incorporating glass, hardware and the surfaces themselves, all tailor-made to fit. By partnering with glass suppliers and fabricators around the country, CRL offers a completely new way of specifying showers, enabling retailers to provide consumers with a tailor-made option designed for the perfect fit, whether in the family bathroom, or as part of an en-suite extension in an existing master bedroom.
Elegance, simplicity, and functionality are key to the minimal bathroom currently making compact spaces look and feel much bigger and creating a modern, almost hotel-inspired appearance. Wall cladding, large format surfaces and feature walls tap into this trend, providing a seamless, easier to install and maintain alternative to tiles. Team this with brassware and shower hardware in a striking finish for a trendsetting look to the bathroom that is also high on practical values.
