The Challenge

Complex Layout and Precision

The Kingston luxury calacatta luca bathroom project presented a unique set of challenges due to the intricate layout of the shower, which required precision in both design and installation. The Porcelain Calacatta Luca slabs needed to be cut to exact specifications to ensure a seamless look across the shower walls and floor. Additionally, the layout of the existing plumbing and fixtures required careful planning to integrate the new materials without compromising functionality.

Handling large porcelain panels was another technical hurdle. Each slab had to be maneuvered into place within the tight confines of the bathroom, necessitating careful coordination and expertise to avoid damage. The client's desire for minimal seams meant our team had to plan meticulously to align seams with the grout lines, creating a visually pleasing and cohesive appearance.

Furthermore, the integration of a TopZero undermount sink into the vanity added another layer of complexity. The sink's placement had to be exact, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and practical use, while maintaining the integrity of the porcelain surface.

Our Approach

Precision and Seamless Integration

Our approach began with STONEEX digital laser templating, which allowed us to capture the exact dimensions of the bathroom, ensuring the porcelain slabs would fit perfectly. This precision was crucial for aligning seams with the grout lines and ensuring a seamless flow across the shower walls and floor.

In our Kirkland facility, we utilized CNC fabrication to cut the Porcelain Calacatta Luca slabs with the utmost accuracy. This technology enabled us to achieve the precise cuts needed for the complex layout, particularly around the shower fixtures and vanity. Our team meticulously planned the seam locations to align perfectly with the grout lines, enhancing the overall aesthetic while maintaining structural integrity.

For the installation, our skilled team carefully maneuvered the large porcelain slabs into place. The use of specialized equipment allowed us to handle the panels delicately, avoiding any potential damage. The integration of the
