This post will help you understand more about this worktop and cladding material which is suitable for both indoors and outdoors applications, and what are some of the problems and issues you may face when you choose this material.
What is Neolith made of
Neolith is mainly composed of three different types of natural elements. It contains granite minerals, such as feldspar and pure quartz which provide it with strength and hardness, minerals from silica and glass for chemical stability and natural oxides for chromatic properties.
All these elements are treated under very high pressure and temperature to create a material which is almost indestructible. Rather than being made at a granular level, blue Neolith with sintered particles which is what makes it impervious to stains and foods with colourants such as curry.
Neolith Issues and Problems
- Maintenance: The finish of Neolith kitchen worktops defines its maintenance and cleaning needs. While it requires minimum maintenance, it is important to ask Neolith suppliers for Neolith worktop review to understand better about the care and maintenance it would require while purchasing the material be it for a worktop, vanity top, flooring and/or wall cladding.
- Look and quality: Apart from this, the surface is scratch-, water-, fire-, stain- and high traffic-resistant, hygienic, light in weight, and perfect for kitchen worktops.
- Applications: Apart from worktops, Neolith can also be used for cladding on floors, walls, and cupboards. The material is available in a wide range of colours, making it easier for the potential buyers as well as other users to coordinate it with the appearance of the area in which it is installed.
- Installation: It is very important to find an approved supplier of Neolith worktops and flooring as they will need to be experienced in handling the installation of this material which differs slightly from granite worktops direct, quartz or marble. Anything under an experienced fabricator can easily chip off the edges, crack the material or produce a wrong final look.
- The machinery employed to fabricate Neolith is adapted to this material, starting from the bed of the cutting facilities to the speed and type of saw required to slice and divide the material in an efficient and smooth manner in order to achieve desired results.
- The slabs are very flexible, yet require professional handling: they must be loaded, unloaded and transported by means of a forklift, bridge, crane or other hoisting device and whenever handling and transporting, the slabs must be balanced taking their centre of gravity into account by using A-Frame trolleys or similar transport tooling and machinery.
The advantages of having Neolith as surfaces are second to none and the best advice we can provide is to choose with a Company that is approved by the supplier and that has vast experience in working with the material since it will eliminate all and any of the issues mentioned above.
