“The majority of consumers today choose to patronize businesses that share their beliefs. They are interested in learning more about the things they purchase. Who’s making them? What is their origin? Line Moller Maersk, product marketing manager of Lundhs, the manufacturer of natural stone with headquarters in Larvik, Norway, asks, “And what is the impact?” “Lundhs Real Stone is traceable from the quarry to the final project, and each countertop is delivered with a certificate of authenticity stating the origin and ensuring the quality of the stone.”
Lundhs, the largest manufacturer of unfinished blocks in Northern Europe, harvests exquisite natural stone from eight quarries in Norway and exports goods to nations all over the world, including the United States, where it debuted a tile collection earlier this year. These goods are sold under the Lundhs Real Stone brand.
The Lundhs Real Stone countertop collection, however, was introduced before the tile line. It not only demonstrates the most sophisticated aesthetic and environmental sustainability. But it is also strong and high-performing enough to work well in indoor and outdoor surface applications in commercials. Lundhs Real Stone surfaces are essentially non-porous, heat-, stain-, and scratch-resistant. They are unaffected by food acids, making them perfect for kitchen countertops. Additionally, they resist water and UV rays, are very simple to clean, and don’t need to be sealed.
Since these natural stones will last a lifetime, the product is inherently eco-friendly. Because durable products generate less waste and have a less environmental impact. Lundhs Real Stone is a more eco-friendly countertop alternative than many other surfaces since it doesn’t include quartz, which when mined, cut, or polished emits toxic crystalline silica dust.
Additionally, the stone is preserved in its natural state throughout the lifetime of the product, meaning it is literally unaltered.
The Natural Stone Institute claims that utilizing healthier building materials that require little processing helps to lower the amount of carbon that is embodied in construction projects. Natural stone contains only one natural element and no volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Because nature conducts most of the manufacturing, it has a low embodied energy by nature.
According to studies, 50% of customers consider wellbeing to be very essential in their life. For wellbeing, balance, and regeneration, designers claim that clients desire to interact with nature, according to Moller Maersk. “Now you can bring nature into your home with a Lundhs Real Stone countertop, and at the same time you don’t need to worry about daily wear and tear or timely maintenance.”
Lundhs Real Stone is also renowned for its particular beauty in addition to its exceptional geology and environmentally friendly features. Larvikite and Anorthosite rock, two of the stones used to create Lundhs Real Stone worktops, feature a rare feldspar crystal admixture that gives each piece a one-of-a-kind appearance. For expert stone fabricators, Lundhs Real Stone is incredibly stable and simple to cut because to its mineral composition. Requiring no specialized blades or restrictions on edge details.
The same high-performance and distinctive beauty of Lundhs Real Stone have been converted by Lundhs into a magnificent tile collection, which was released this year on the American market. According to Moller Maersk, “We started the tile collection to give the option to choose the same high-performing stone for floors, backsplashes, and walls as on countertops—to mix and match.”
“Lundhs Real Stone can be used with a variety of color schemes to add a personal touch. Therefore, making rooms that are both aesthetically pleasing and reflect a peaceful sense of nature.
Due to its non-absorption qualities, Lundhs Real Stone is excellent for water areas like spas, backsplashes, and steam showers. It also makes integrated sinks and countertops possible.
Overall, Lundhs continues to be committed to protecting the environment. Whether it is producing rough blocks or producing countertops and tiles. “Our zero-waste policy allows us to find new solutions to use every bit of surplus stone from the quarry production,” says Moller Maersk. We collaborate with architects, designers, and builders to think creatively while supporting and promoting sustainable ideas.
