High impact

First impressions undeniably count, and a client or guest's first step into a commercial foyer is no exception. To help visitors get the right idea about your business from the outset, high-end cladding and flooring provides an eye-catching and enduring head start.

This was the case when Walker Corporation's interior design manager, Penny Lucas, decided on the wall and floor surfaces for the company's new contemporary head office entrance.

"The foyer presents a dramatic first introduction and we needed finishes that would look the part," she says. "Sourced from WK Marble & Granite, we specified Quantum Quartz in Luna Grey for the floor slabs, and Natural Stone Calacutta for the head office's wall and lift lobby cladding.

"The Luna Grey and Calacutta complement each other to create a gleaming entrance space the glossy textures appealing to the eye. The size of floor slabs also emphasise the foyer's scale."

Low-maintenance Quantum Quartz engineered stone provides architects, designers and specifiers with diverse palette options to choose from. These range from neutrals to bold colours, and can be accented with chips of coloured glass, mother of pearl, mirror, granite or quartz.

As well as a wide range of this hard-wearing material, WK Marble & Granite also offers a broad selection of imported natural stones, such as granite, marble and limestone. These are available in a variety of styles and finishes, such as the polished Calacutta marble specified here by Lucas.
