Kitchen and laundry design trends – why white granite is a top choice

Are you planning to renovate your kitchen or laundry? Whether it’s a white granite quartz stone kitchen sink or on a kitchen island countertop, white granite is a top choice for those seeking sophistication and timelessness with long-term durability. Our experts at Aquaperla explore the latest kitchen and laundry design trend.

What are the benefits of white granite sinks in the kitchen and laundry?

Besides its aesthetically pleasing and timeless appeal, white granite has many benefits. Since granite is known for its durability, cleaning is a breeze since it is resilient when it comes to moisture. In an all-white kitchen or laundry, where imperfections can stand out like a sore thumb, granite is resistant to chipping and scratching, making it a top choice for durability. White granite sinks are non-toxic, lead-free and highly resistant to heat, stains and dirt. Oil will not adhere to it and neither does it fade over consistent or heavy-duty use.

What white granite sinks are available at Aquaperla?

Aquaperla is home to a vast range of high quality and affordable white granite sinks. Made of premium quality white granite stone composite (80% granite), Aquaperla’s white granite sinks are designed to not only look fabulous but stand the test of time.

Why you need a licensed plumber for your bathroom, kitchen and laundry renovation

A faulty DIY job can also cause trouble down the track, such as a lack of functionality. Our experts at Aquaperla  explain why you need a licensed plumber.

Do I need to a licensed plumber?

Love the look of a luxe hotel bathroom? Follow our ideas and tips on how to achieve a hotel bathroom aesthetic at home.

---Tips on achieving a hotel bathroom aesthetic on a low budget

If you’ve had the pleasure of staying in a luxury hotel, no doubt you would have appreciated the time, effort and fixtures that went into designing such a chic space. Here’s our ideas and tips on how to achieve an affordable bathroom renovation that reflects a luxury hotel aesthetic with five-star style. Our selections are guaranteed to give you a glam feel when you wake up every morning.

--Is it expensive to achieve a hotel bathroom aesthetic?

If you’re a Saudi prince, it would be fair to say you’re prepared to pay millions for a gold-plated opulent bathroom. However

Advancements in PVD processing offer the best of both worlds – great colour choice and long-lasting durability.

---How PVD technology is revolutionising the bathroom and kitchen industry

Aquaperla is embracing new technologies in decorative finishes – inspired by worldwide colour trends emerging at international design shows. Physical Vapour Deposition – or PVD coating – is available in Aquaperla’s latest series of tapware, showers, accessories and heated towel rails. This allows customers to customise and combine these finishes with products in a variety of ways to suit individual needs and style preferences.

--What is PVD technology?

PVD stands for Physical Vapour Deposition. This is a coating technique used to deposit a thin film (a few microns thick) on the surface of bathroom, kitchen and laundry products such as tapware, showers, heated towel rails and accessories.

--Why is PVD regarded as the ultimate coating for bathroom, kitchen and laundry products?

PVD coating provides superior durability and resistance to abrasions, tarnishing, scratching and corrosion. PVD technology is also resistant to UV radiation and discolouration.

--What is the difference between electroplated products and PVD products?

PVD coatings are generally harder and more corrosion resistant than coatings applied by the electroplating process. Most coatings have high temperature and good impact strength, superior abrasion resistance and are so durable that protective topcoats are often not required.

--What is the difference between powdercoat finishes and PVD products?

The colour in an Aquaperla PVD finish is molecularly bonded to the tapware, becoming one with the metal itself. Powdercoat finishes are baked onto the tapware, meaning they wear quicker and are more prone to chipping, peeling and scratching.

--Do PVD coatings offer a wide colour choice?

Absolutely. PVD coatings offer a rich selection of beautiful colours and popular textured finishes such as brushed gold, polished bright, bronzed and aged. Advancements in PVD processing offer the best of both worlds – great colour choice and long-lasting durability.
