Kleenstone by Archant: Unveiling Gold Travertine Amid a Global Travertine Shortage
Luxury meets innovation with the latest release from Archant: Kleenstone in the stunning Colour Gold Travertine finish. This groundbreaking product arrives at a pivotal moment, as the design world grapples with a worldwide shortage of natural travertine. Combining timeless aesthetics with cutting-edge sustainability, Kleenstone offers a sophisticated solution for those seeking elegance without compromise. Let’s dive into what makes this release so special—and why it’s a game-changer in today’s market.
The Allure of Colour Gold Travertine
Kleenstone’s Colour Gold Travertine captures the essence of natural travertine’s warm, golden hues and intricate veining, but with a modern twist. This rich, earthy tone evokes the opulence of ancient architecture while seamlessly fitting into contemporary spaces. Whether it’s a sleek kitchen benchtop, a statement bathroom vanity, or a luxurious living area accent, this finish brings depth and character to any design. The matte texture enhances its organic appeal, offering a tactile experience that’s as inviting as it is stylish.
What sets this apart? Kleenstone isn’t just a beautiful surface—it’s engineered for durability and practicality. With zero crystalline silica content, it prioritizes safety during fabrication, while its non-porous, stain-resistant nature ensures it stands up to daily life. Plus, it’s crafted with 85% recycled glass, making it an eco-conscious choice for the discerning homeowner.
A Timely Arrival Amid a Travertine Shortage
The release of Kleenstone couldn’t come at a better time. Natural travertine, a beloved sedimentary stone prized for its unique patterns and warm tones, is facing a global supply crunch. Quarries from Italy to Turkey are struggling to meet demand, driven by over-extraction, logistical challenges, and a surge in popularity for natural materials in high-end design. This shortage has left architects, designers, and homeowners searching for alternatives that don’t sacrifice quality or authenticity.
Enter Kleenstone by Archant. This innovative surface mimics the look and feel of natural travertine while sidestepping the supply issues plaguing the industry. Available in large-format slabs (3210mm x 1620mm), it minimizes joints and simplifies installation, offering a seamless look that rivals its natural counterpart. Backed by a 10-year warranty, it’s a reliable investment for those unwilling to wait out the travertine drought.
Elevating Spaces with Purpose
Colour Gold Travertine isn’t just a pretty face—it’s a versatile performer. Imagine it in a cozy winter retreat: paired with plush textiles and soft lighting, it transforms a room into a luxurious haven. In wellness-focused spaces, its natural-inspired tones promote calm and balance, while its hygienic surface makes it ideal for bathrooms and spas. For fashion-forward interiors, it complements metallic accents and bold furnishings, tying together a cohesive, high-end aesthetic.
Archant’s commitment to sustainability shines through in this release. By reducing reliance on finite natural resources like travertine, Kleenstone offers a forward-thinking alternative that doesn’t compromise on luxury. It’s a win for both the planet and your design vision.
