Који је најбољи природни камен за пулт у купатилу?

If you’re considering natural stone for your bathroom countertops, or a vanity top, you have several great options. There are a few things to consider before selecting which stone is best for you project:

• Budget – Наравно, цена, али и дуговечност производа и дугорочна вредност коју ће ваш избор додати вашем дому.
• Traffic – Колико користи и/или злоупотребљава радна плоча?
• Design Style – Како ће камен утицати на ваш дизајн и стил украшавања сада и у будућности.

 
A typical bathroom doesn’t get the same type of abuse that a kitchen does. There are fewer heavy objects that could impact the countertop, there aren’t extremely hot pots and pans moving around, and the bathroom isn’t a gathering point the way a kitchen is. This means it’s safer to use softer and less heat resistant stones. However, bathrooms often have chemicals like hairspray, nail polish remover, and shower cleaners that can cause damage to some stones.  Here are some stone countertops to consider for your bathroom project, and the pros and cons for each. 

МЕРМОРНЕ КУПАТИЛОШКЕ ПАЛТЕ

Елегантан камен који се често користи у врхунским кућама, мермер је познат по свом чистом изгледу и изузетној лепоти. Обично је нијанса беле, камен често има сиву, црну, светлоплаву, розе, црвенкасту, жуту или зелену жицу која се уклапа у многе стилове дизајна. Камен се може полирати, за сјајни сјај, или брушен за мат изглед. 

Many home builders and designers avoid using marble in kitchens because it not as strong as granite or quartz, and it is more prone to damage from chemicals. This however, is not the case for bathrooms. Compared to most non-stone countertops, marble is incredibly durable and stain resistant. Only a few natural stones could be considered “better”, and marble would be much more durable than many other non-stone surfaces. For bathrooms, marble is a leading choice.

Most people choose marble for it’s aesthetics. The stone has been used for centuries in building, homes, and art. There is an instant feeling of class and elegance when you see it. It has a subtle, but powerful look that can really enhance the beauty of a bathroom. Many people also like marble because it is somewhat rare. It’s not used nearly as often as granite and other surfaces, so it can make your home feel unique and more luxurious. 

Marble is one of the more porous stone countertop materials, so it does require sealing every year or so. When properly sealed and polished there is little risk of damage. It is important to clean marble regularly and immediately deal with any spills however, especially if the spill is any substance that’s acidic. Acids and harsh chemicals can cause etching and stains.

On the high-end, marble can be very expensive, but standard marble slabs are often only slightly more expensive than granite or quartz. If you love the look of marble, there’s often no substitute.

Marble is also a material that can add value to a home. Because it’s a durable and long-lasting stone, it is desirable to many homeowners. It’s a luxurious material that offers a timeless style, so its presence can be attractive to real estate agencies and home buyers. 

ГРАНИТНЕ ПЛОШЕ ЗА КУПАЛО

Granite is perhaps the strongest, most durable stone countertop on the market. It’s available in many colors and patterns, and it is a very popular choice for bathroom countertops and vanities. The stone is virtually impossible to scratch, and the heat tolerance is very good, perfect for a busy bathroom. 

Granite has a natural earthy appearance, and you’ll find a style that will match almost any decor. This stone has been a popular choice for many years, and it tends to add value to homes when compared to non-stone countertops. A granite vanity or bathroom countertop can last a lifetime. And its timeless look and design versatility means homeowners and home buyers alike, will enjoy this surface for many years to come.

Гранит је камен који се веома лако одржава. Треба га редовно чистити и избегавати да груба средства за чишћење, хемикалије и киселе материје буду на површини. Али обично је само периодично брисање радне површине и чишћење нереда све што је потребно. Гранит је често запечаћен у фабрици или током уградње како би се заштитио од хемикалија и других оштећења. Ово је много мањи проблем у купатилу него у кухињи, али камен може захтевати поновно заптивање сваке године.

КВАРЦНЕ ПЛОШЕ ЗА КУПАЛО

Quartz is a natural stone that is engineered using ground up stone material and resin. So while it is mostly natural, the slabs aren’t cut directly from the earth the way marble and granite are. Often quartz is indistinguishable from a traditional natural stone.

Кварц је одличан избор за купатило због своје издржљивости (упоредо са гранитом) и изузетно ниских захтева за одржавање. Још једна предност је да ако користите више плоча, кварц ће имати много уједначенији изглед како се плоче производе, нема потребе да покушавате да ускладите шаре и жиле од плоче до плоче. За велико купатило може бити важно. 

This stone is more modern looking than granite and marble. The patterns in the stone are not as organic, and overall there’s a more subtle, minimalist feel. Because it is engineered, there are a wide range of color options that you won’t find with other materials. It is safe to say that quartz can match just about any bathroom design style, and decor.

За разлику од мермера и гранита, кварц није порозан, па је најмање подложан мрљама. Ово такође чини веома лаким за чишћење и одржавање, јер нису потребни заптивачи. Ово је један од главних разлога зашто се многи власници кућа одлучују за кварц у кухињама и купатилима.

The only real downside to quartz is the heat resistance. While it is good, it’s not as good as granite or marble. In a bathroom, you’ll have to be careful not to leave a hot iron, or other extremely hot tool on the countertop for vanity surface for a long period of time. 

Кварцне плоче за купатило биће јефтиније од већине мермера, а обично су по истој цени као и гранит. Као и други природни камен, кварцне површине купатила су веома пожељне и могу побољшати вредност вашег дома.
