natural stone from Norway 2  LUNDHS Real Stone

Lundhs Real Stone is a collection of genuine natural stones, crafted by nature millions of years ago. Each slab of stone is cut from a solid block of rock, quarried from mountains in Norway. The composition of Lundhs Real Stone provides you with a completely natural and maintenance-free worktop 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.

Choose your favourite With a small but definitive collection of four neutral materials and three distinctive surface finishes, you have the opportunity to choose the backdrop to your kitchen with ease, ensuring that it will complement your individual style.

POLISHED SURFACE

A high gloss, polished surface reflects the light beautifully, mirroring its surroundings making the crystals sparkle.

HONED SURFACE

A honed surface has an elegant matte and smooth finish. The crystals sparkle more gently than in a polished surface.

SILK SURFACE

A silk surface has an elegant matte finish that is lightly structured. This provides a softer and subtler look, where the crystals gently reflect the light.

Thickness The standard thicknesses of a Lundhs Real Stone worktop are 2 cm or 3 cm. 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. This is due to the capacity and set up of the processing machines that cut the blocks of stone into slabs. If your worktop 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.

INSET SINK Inset sink is a conventional method of installation.

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

18  LUNDHS Real Stone

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

UNDERMOUNT SINK

The sink is installed under the worktop, providing a functional extension of the surface and an easy-to-clean area. It also offers the possibility to create draining grooves on one or both sides of the sink if desired.

Hobs The hob is a vital part of the kitchen – here are the most common options for installation.

RECESSED UNDERMOUNT

INSET HOB

The installation of a recessed undermount sink is almost the same as for a normal undermount sink. The difference is that the visible stone edge inside the sink is thinner than the worktop. This installation is only possible on worktops that are at least 3 cm thick.

The worktop is simply inserted from above into a prepared cut out space in your worktop.

INTEGRATED SINK

FLUSHMOUNT HOB

If you like the idea of your sink being the same material as your worktop, then an integrated design is a good option, making the sink and worktop into one seamless unit.

With this installation method, the cooktop and the worktop form a level surface – which is perfectly flush and easy to maintain.

A GORGEOUS BLEND OF NATURAL MATERIALS A stunning combination of natural materials, the oak and stone in this kitchen complement each other perfectly to create a contemporary yet delicate scheme. Hexagon tiles in a range of surface finishes in the same stone have been used on the kitchen splashback, reflecting the light differently and creating a unique design statement.

Your kitchen designer will also know about the best and newest ideas of how to get electrical sockets on a kitchen island or worktop.

ADD A NEW DIMENSION TO THE KITCHEN Using the same stone on both vertical and horizontal surfaces will add a new dimension to the kitchen.

WHY NOT OPT FOR A HIGH STATEMENT SPLASHBACK? Complemented by stunning deep grey cabinetry and a contemporary aesthetic, the silk finish of the Lundhs Emerald surface creates a true focal point in this kitchen scheme.

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, founded 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 revolutionised. 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.
