Reflections on ‘Reflection’ – The Beautiful Wall Mounted Washbasin from Silestone®
There’s something about Silestone® by Cosentino™ that sets it apart from all other bathroom materials on the market. And not just the fact that it’s the very first commercially rendered quartz surface material for domestic use. It’s something about its combination of immense durability and absolute elegance that just gives it an appearance all of its own. Which is what makes the Reflection washbasin such a triumph of bathroom design.
What is Silestone?
Let’s start with the material itself. It’s a solid surface made from about 90% natural quartz, which makes it extraordinarily hard wearing. If designing a bathroom for life is your goal – timeless in the sense that you do not want to replace it soon, or maybe ever – then you’re good with Silestone. It’s completely non-porous and virtually impossible to stain. If it can resist the acidic assault of lemon juice and vinegar in the kitchen, then you can rest assured it’ll be fine under a lifetime of soap and water in the bathroom. What’s more, it won’t scratch, it won’t dent and it sure as heck won’t break unless you take a sledgehammer to it.
How about the way it looks?
The look and feel of the Reflection is where the Silestone really makes its presence known, though. It is, quite simply, a beautiful basin – timeless in that sense (you know the one). Whether you choose a polished texture, which gives it a marble-like appearance, a suede texture, which looks a bit more like Corian® or a volcano texture, which is more like natural stone, it is elegance in material form. It also comes in a range of over 100 different tones – from bold Magenta Energy and striking Sienna Ridge to deep Carbono black. So, whatever the feel of your luxury washroom, the Reflection will fit right in.
I want it my way
Like the vast majority of products we sell, here at Riluxa, the Reflection basin is fully customisable. So, even if you’re looking for a smaller sink for a more bijoux bathroom, you can still have the basin of your dreams. For those who love to wash big, though, the Reflection has some serious scope. It’s a single basin that can nevertheless occupy a couple if you build it wide enough. Oh, and you can position that sink wherever you like – left, right or centre – making it truly your own design.
Pair it up!
But that’s not where the customisation ends. If you’re looking for a bathroom that’s really and truly all your own and oozes your unique taste, which of course you are, then how about pairing it with one of our wall-mounted or freestanding cabinets to give it the design that perfect stamp of individuality?
The great thing about the Reflection is that it’s so called because it reflects whatever type of bathroom design you have in mind. It fits with all the different styles. You can pair it with a modern minimalist piece of furniture in lightly coloured, lacquered MDF just as stunningly as you can with a piece of dark, solid wooden furniture and it will look like it was purpose built for both.
We have a feeling that Silestone® is going to be making some serious waves in the bathroom market over the coming years and we’re incredibly proud to have it as part of our collection. Now check out this product overview of one of our most popular double washbasins, the Alabama DuPont Corian basin.
