Caesarstone has turned its attention to the great outdoors by introducing an inaugural collection of outdoor quartz surfaces; a range designed to elevate one’s outdoor space and transform it into an environment to be enjoyed all year-round.
UK gardens are increasingly becoming spaces in which we live, work, play and entertain – and want to do so all year round. Our outdoor spaces are an extension of the home; a place in which you can open the doors to the outside world and enjoy a coffee, read a newspaper, prepare an al fresco meal, or indulge in an aperitif. By reframing our outdoor spaces as additional to our kitchens and/or living areas, our gardens are able to accommodate our daily routines, bringing the indoors out to create a truly tranquil oasis.
The collection, in development for several years, launches following a period of time that has seen us appreciate our gardens more than ever before. We now place a huge significance on the value of outdoor space; gardens quickly became the sanctuaries we could escape to for breathing room during the various nationwide lockdowns. As ‘normal’ life gradually resumes, our outdoor spaces will be the first port of call for entertaining friends and family – both safely and privately – following so many months spent apart. As a result, we have come to re-acknowledge the importance of our outdoor space not just for personal use, but for entertaining and socialising, too.
This is bolstered by longstanding research which outlines the number of health and wellbeing benefits from time spent outdoors, from increasing productivity and performance in both adults and children* to significantly improving problem- solving skills and reducing stress levels**. Studies from the University of Exeter analysed mental health data from 10,000 city dwellers and utilised high-resolution mapping tools to track subjects over an 18-year period, discovering that those living with, or near more green space reported less mental distress; meanwhile, Dutch researchers found lower incidences of life-threatening illnesses – depression, anxiety, heart disease, diabetes, asthma and so forth – in residents living within half a mile of green space. These factors, combined with the versatility and flexibility today’s outdoor living solutions offer, mean we are all truly understanding the value of time spent outdoors.
Caesarstone’s new outdoor quartz surfaces provide the answer to every homeowner’s desire to cook, dine and entertain from the comforts of their own garden. The collection itself comprises three brand new designs; 515 Palm Shade, the classic look of white marble with a subtle warm veining; 405 Midday, a white concrete look to complement tiling, stone, or decking; and 406 Clearskies, a pale grey concrete design perfect for contemporary gardens. Be it a fully equipped outdoor kitchen in a country garden, a sleek BBQ station on a city apartment terrace, where one can cook and eat cookout foods like the ones from bbq store edmonton, or even a sophisticated al fresco dining area on a suburban street; however you imagine your dream outdoor space, Caesarstone’s outdoor collection will bring your vision to life.
Add to this the numerous high performing properties of all Caesarstone quartz products; all surfaces are non-porous, durable, scratch, stain, mould and mildew resistant and easy-to-clean, with a ten-year warranty. Plus, all surfaces within the outdoor collection have been meticulously tested to withstand harsh sunlight and variable temperatures, ensuring they remain highly UV and weather resistant at all times.
“We are pleased to introduce the outdoor quartz collection to Caesarstone’s portfolio of aesthetically and technically superior quartz surfaces,” comments Amir Reske, MD of Caesarstone UK and EMEA. “The outdoor kitchen market is growing rapidly in the UK and we have seen an increasing desire for year-round outdoor entertaining. The Caesarstone Outdoor quartz collection is totally in tune with this trend and is the perfect choice for design professionals and homeowners who want to create stunning outdoor living spaces.”
