“The one thing I absolutely love about Caesarstone is not just the aesthetics, and how it looks, but also how it natural it feels, it is just dreamy!”

It can seem overwhelming at first when there seems to be so many choices and unknowns.
But thankfully, Jo is here to help with her top design hacks for working with stone:
- OPTIMISATION: Remember that your fabricator optimises the slabs so that you get the most out of it. Find out what the off-cut sizes are and see where else in your home you can use it.
- TEXTURES & VEINING: If you have chosen a slab that has an organic texture or veining, make sure you go and go have a look at it in person and tell your fabricator what particular part of the slab you want to use so that you get the look you’re after.
- ORGANIC & NATURAL: If your kids are anything like Jo’s, and they sometimes end up eating off the kitchen countertops, then she always suggests using a more environmentally-friendly and non-porous stone like Caesarstone. That way you can cut back on the harsh cleaning products and keep a more hygienic home.
- “ONE SLAB, ONE LIFE”: Jo always says to her clients ‘one slab, one life’ – so basically what that means is choose a stone that has a lifetime warranty. That way you make an initial investment up front and it’s something that will last you a full lifetime.
