The composition of Lundhs Real Stone provides you with a completely natural and maintenance free countertop choice. This translates into a surface that is highly resistant to heat, stains and scratches from daily wear and tear in the kitchen. The complex blend of beautiful feldspar crystals differs from one slab of stone to another, creating subtle distinctions that make every surface unique. Each Lundhs Real Stone is delivered with a certificate of authenticity stating the origin of the stone – your own, unique piece of Norway.

Thickness The standard thicknesses of a Lundhs Real Stone countertop are 2 cm (3/4 in) or 3 cm (1 ¼ in). Both thicknesses offer the same level of durability. The choice is yours.

Sizes Lundhs Real Stone slabs are available in different sizes.

Your fabricator/showroom will help you choose the best size available for your kitchen. Please note that the maximum size of a slab is 330 x 180 cm (129.9 x 70.86 in). This is due to the capacity and set up of the processing machines that cut the blocks of stone into slabs. If your countertop or island requires a larger piece, two slabs can be joined together. A skilled fabricator will be able to join the pieces together beautifully.

Details that matter Most kitchens will require a sink installation. There are a number of options offered by different suppliers regarding both materials and design. Here is an overview of the most common installation methods and what kind of finished look they will achieve in your kitchen.

TOPMOUNT Topmount is a conventional method of installation.

The sink centre is simply inserted from above into a prepared cut out space in your countertop.

FLUSHMOUNT With this installation method, the sink and the countertop form a level surface – which is perfectly flush and has no joints to get in the way.

Craftsmanship for generations The history of Lundhs began more than 100 years ago.

Today, Lundhs is the largest producer of natural stone in Northern Europe.

The history of Lundhs began more than 100 years ago when Alfred Lundh came from Sweden to Norway to run one of the biggest quarrying companies of the era. In 1962, Thor Lundh, Alfred’s grandson, decided to found his own quarrying company – Lundhs. Throughout the history of the company, innovation has been a Lundhs hallmark. The way natural stone is used has changed a lot over the years. Methods of extracting the stone have been revolutionized. Lundhs has always been at the forefront of these changes. Today the company is still family owned and Thor’s grandson, Thor-Anders Lundh Haakestad, is the CEO. He is proud to continue the family’s quarrying traditions and does so with the same passion for quality and high precision that his forefathers had.
