The Athena Collection

By 28 April, 2023 May 12th, 2026 106 Comments

Introducing the Athena Collection; Five engineered stone surfaces featuring distinctive printed designs, bringing the very latest innovation in engineered stone.

The latest techniques in print technology allow for truly unbelievable replicas of some of the most exclusive natural stones but with easy maintenance plus the highly scratch and stain-resistant elements of engineered stone surfaces.

Designs are applied using a penetrative printing technique that delivers micro pigments onto and 1mm beneath the face of the slab. This ensures the stability of the colours in the design and creates a deep 3D effect that provides depth and movement with high-definition.

As the design is printed on the surface, the design does not run through the core of the surface which will be visible on drainer grooves and edge profiles (unless a mitred edge is chosen). The core colour is best matched to each design, with the exception of Apollo which has a light grey core colour to create a stunning contrast for drainer grooves and exposed edges as shown below.

All of the surfaces in the Athena Collection have a classical soft leather finish to replicate the look and feel of unpolished natural stone. This gives them a tactile silky feel and when light reflects off the surface, it gives off a soft glow.

These surfaces are also available as book-matched slabs that can be fitted together to create a striking effect where the veining and pattern in the stone is mirrored. Book-matching two or four slabs makes an exceptionally impressive feature on splashbacks and large islands.
