-Narcissus-
Description & Features
From a distance, Narcissus looks like a solid off-white; up close, however, it reveals a very fine, dense grain of light-grey specks, evenly spread like fine sand, which brings the surface to life without veins or patterns. It belongs to the Pure series of the Essence line, the premium quartz range Coante produces in Muğla, Turkey, and the manufacturer focuses on its brightness: the white reflects light and visually opens up the room, while its simplicity fits anything from minimalist to classic schemes. The slabs are made with Breton technology from quartz particles, polyester resin and pigments that are vibro-compressed; the result is a compact, non-porous material with water absorption below 0.07% (W4), Mohs hardness 7 and flexural strength above 35 MPa (F4), according to Coante. It is available polished or with a leather finish, in Jumbo 330 × 164 cm and Medium 310 × 152 cm slabs and in 15, 20 and 30 mm thicknesses. It is suitable for kitchen and bathroom countertops, islands, wall cladding, furniture and tables. A damp cloth is enough for daily care, with a pH-neutral cleaner for stubborn stains; abrasives, solvents and hot cookware placed directly on the surface should be avoided.
