Technology has raised the bar

Ceramic, porcelain, engineered quartz, ultra-compact surfaces (UCS), glass, metal, solid surfaces, polished concrete, terrazzo....

Technology has lifted the limitations on design.  Imagination has been freed.  The result: products that simply have not existed before in every finish imaginable, from minimalist white to industrial acid-etched metal. It is called the fourth industrial revolution.  The machine has been liberated by unimaginable processing power.  The outcome is exciting; new; unfettered. Design possibilities are expanding exponentially.

The latest developments in hard surfaces are vertical and horizontal. 

From cladding on the outside of buildings to tiles on the inside, floors on interiors that extend seamlessly on to patios, kitchen worktops with matching cabinets and much more.

Sizes, colours, textures previously undreamed of combine to extend the scope of architecture and design to a future of unlimited expression of your own and your clients’ individuality.

Come and see what the future is delivering now at Hard Surfaces in ExCeL London, the design capital of the world.  Be inspired and unleash your potential.
