The Architect’s Newspaper, a trade outlet which covers the East Coast, Midwest, and West Coast in three print editions and online, speaks directly to architects with news, developments, trends, resources, and industry updates. This week, the newspaper included Neolith in their wrap-up of superior composite surfaces.

Here at Marble and Granite, Inc., you’ve heard us singing the praises of ultra compact Neolith surfacing for some time now. The folks at Architectural Products magazine are also on board, praising the material for its “great composition and capabilities.” In fact, the publication recognized Neolith with their 2014 Product Innovation Award!

The word Neolith literally means “new stone.” But ask manufacturer The Size about this ultra compact, super slim material, and they’re likely to tell you it could also be called “new and improved stone.” Formed from natural raw materials and engineered to astounding degrees of durability, Neolith is having a profound impact on the North American surfacing industry. As one of the largest East Coast distributors of Neolith in the U.S., we’ve watched the demand for this innovative material grow over the past year, reflecting the success Neolith is experiencing overall in the North American surfacing industry.

So often, when we talk about natural stone and surfacing, we reference countertops. But we know that you have more on your design plate, so to speak, than bathrooms and kitchens. We pride ourselves on our ability to bring you the very latest products and style ideas. One of these products, in particular, is Neolith. And while Neolith does make an incredibly durable, functional, and attractive countertop material, what you may not know is that it’s useful for so much more.

Still researching outdoor kitchens and living spaces? Afraid to pull the trigger on your project because you’re still just not sure which materials will stand up to the elements?

Happy Earth Day! In honor of today’s environmentally-focused holiday, here are some ways that Neolith, the ultra-compact, high-performance surfacing material that’s great for kitchen and bath countertops, flooring, interior wall and cladding applications, helps environmentally-conscious builders, designers, and other home professionals feel good about the materials they use in their projects.

When it comes to tile flooring, all signs are pointing toward a trend in large format tiles. Besides offering a distinctive design aesthetic, there are a few other benefits to big tiles. And in the “big tile” category, no surface can come close to offering the benefits of Neolith.

Kitchen and bath remodels are a lot of work. Since they involve the intricate systems of a home like plumbing, heating, cooling, and electricity, they also tend to take a long time. This leaves you without your vital necessities such as a toilet, shower, oven, stove, sink, and more while the work’s being done — which is inconvenient to say the least. But Neolith from Spanish manufacturer THESIZE could help alleviate remodeling woes, speeding up the process and creating less chaos.
