    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.

    A little DIY doesn’t hurt occasionally, right? We explain why you need a licensed plumber for your bathroom, kitchen and laundry renovations.

     

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

    Thinking of renovating your kitchen, bathroom or laundry? While you may be tempted to save money by doing the plumbing yourself, it could also be unsafe and unlawful. 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?
    Did you know you are required by law to use a licensed plumber? This is because your plumbing system is vital to the functioning of your home. Just think of the inconvenience a burst pipe has, not to mention the health and safety implications. Plumbers undergo special training to safely work on various aspect of your plumbing. Licensed plumbers are also instrumental in home renovations, where the removal and installation of plumbing elements are integral to the functioning of rooms – specifically kitchens, bathrooms and laundries.

    The Plumbing Code of Australia (PCA) is the technical reference for all plumbing work and is an integral part of the National Construction Code (NCC). It applies to all aspects of plumbing work, specifically:

    • Sanitary plumbing
    • Drainage and stormwater drainage systems
    • Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems
    • Wastewater systems

  8. How PVD technology is revolutionising the bathroom and kitchen industry
    How PVD technology is revolutionising the bathroom and kitchen industry

    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.
