In the demanding world of commercial construction and renovation, where deadlines are tight and quality expectations are high, the ability to deliver superior materials at scale is paramount.
Velstone, a leading manufacturer and supplier of solid surfaces, has established itself as the go-to choice for large-scale projects, particularly in the hospitality and education sectors.
With more than three decades of industry experience, Velstone has become a trusted partner to some of the largest hotel brands across the UK and Europe. The company's commitment to excellence and innovation has earned it a place on the 'brand specification' list for hospitality giants such as Holiday Inn and Fairfield for the past decade.
“What sets us apart is our ability to deliver factory-finished solid surfaces at scale, while maintaining consistent quality across entire projects,” said Sameer Sawant, Director of Velstone. “We understand that large scale commercial projects demand not just superior materials, but also a manufacturer who can meet demanding timelines and complex specifications.”
This capability is currently being demonstrated in the prestigious Manchester City hotel project, where Velstone is supplying solid surfaces in a custom thickness for 345 rooms. The project showcases the company's ability to handle large-scale requirements while maintaining exacting standards and meeting specific design needs, including a customised colour palette that perfectly matches the required brand theme, showcasing Velstone's flexibility in meeting specific design requirements.
The company's reach extends beyond the UK, supplying bathroom vanity tops and reception counters to over 10 European countries. This international presence has helped Velstone develop robust logistics capabilities, ensuring smooth delivery regardless of project location or scale.
Educational Excellence
Velstone's capabilities extend beyond hospitality into the education sector, as demonstrated by their recent project at Harrow School.
The company supplied solid-surface worktops for 16 state-of-the-art chemistry and biology laboratories, including two dedicated research labs for specialist projects, showcasing Velstone's ability to meet the exacting requirements of the educational facility while maintaining the highest standards of quality and durability.
The 25mm Advantage
Velstone is precision-engineered and machined and factory-finished to exacting designs on sophisticated CNC machines.
A game-changer in large-scale projects is Velstone's unique 25mm thick solid surface. This innovative product offers superior mechanical strength and fire resistance compared to conventional 13mm surfaces, making it ideal for high-traffic environments like hotels and educational facilities.
“Our 25mm thick solid surface is a complete solution that doesn't require on-site templating or fixing to additional materials like an MDF substrate,” explained Sameer. “This unique feature, combined with our efficient production process, translates to significant cost savings for clients while helping keep projects within budget and on schedule.”
Seeing is Believing
For those considering Velstone for their next project, the company offers a unique opportunity to experience the quality firsthand.
“We believe so strongly in our product that we offer free samples to all prospects,” added Sameer. “Time and again, we've found that once architects and designers handle our samples and see the quality for themselves, they want to specify Velstone for their projects. It's the best way to demonstrate our commitment to excellence.”
With its proven track record in large-scale projects, robust volume-based production capabilities, and innovative products like the 25mm solid surface, Velstone continues to set the standard for commercial solid surface applications.
Whether it's a multi-hundred-room hotel project or a cutting-edge educational facility, Velstone demonstrates that it has the capacity, expertise, and commitment to deliver outstanding results at any scale.
