Velstone is not just another solid surface material; it's a groundbreaking innovation that seamlessly blends luxury, durability, and versatility.
This exceptional product is composed of Alumina Tri-Hydrate (ATH), a natural mineral known for its flame-retardant properties and strength, bonded with a unique Unsaturated Modified Acrylic Resin.
The result is a 100% non-porous seamless surface that resists bacteria growth, making it ideal for hygiene-critical environments.
What sets Velstone apart is its state-of-the-art manufacturing process. Utilising advanced auto-casting lines, Velstone achieves unparalleled fire resistance, mechanical strength, and weathering resistance, boasting the highest fire rating of Class '0' as per BS476 Part 6 and Class '1' as per BS476 Part 7, setting a new standard in safety for solid surfaces, and the highest breaking strength for the ‘Drop Ball Test.’
Velstone's versatility is truly remarkable. Available in 13mm and 25mm thickness and an extensive colour palette, it can be tailored to meet the most exacting design requirements.
The material excels in various applications, from vanity tops in hotels and student accommodation and laboratory worktops in educational institutions to HTM63/healthcare facilities and commercial surfaces in airports and cruise ships. It's equally at home in kitchens and bathrooms and can be prefabricated and delivered quickly for modular bathrooms, kitchens, and laboratory worktops. It can even be used for exterior applications like signage and wall cladding.
One of Velstone's most impressive features is its ability to match RAL and Dulux colours precisely, and even replicate digital images or objects, a capability that opens up a world of design possibilities, allowing for truly bespoke creations.
Commenting on Velstone as the perfect solid surface solution, Velstone’s director, Sameer Sawant, said: “With its unmatched combination of aesthetics, durability, and versatility, Velstone offers limitless creative potential for designers and architects alike to meet the specific requirements of every project, while doing everything a solid surface should do.”
Velstone has been, and is being, used in many elite installations, including for BAA, Virgin Atlantic, Pizza hut, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Ibis Styles and Fairfield by Marriott.
