For use on floors, walls, counters, façades, and more, these natural and synthetic surfaces boast eye-catching patterns, textures, and finishes suited for large-scale, continuous installations.

Calacatta Gold, TheSize

Digitally printed gray veining with hints of gold contrast a white background to recall the namesake marble. Available in 6mm and 12mm thicknesses, Calacatta Gold is a compact sintered surface material. It is offered in silk and polished finishes and can be bookmatched or endmatched for large-scale installations, with slab dimensions of up to 3.2m by 1.5m. thesize.es

W-Solid Itopker Series, Inalco

A subtle relief brings the texture of wood grain to a large-format, thin-profile porcelain countertop. The 12mm-thick, 1.5m-by-3.2m W-Solid Itopker Series surface is offered in white and black colorways and resists heat, stains, and impact. inalco.es

Oakmoor, Cambria

Linear ridges of cream, tan, and caramel wave through Oakmoor, a natural quartz surfacing from Cambria’s new Oceanic Collection. Oakmoor comes in 1cm, 2cm, and 3cm thicknesses with slab dimensions of 55″ by 120″. cambriausa.com

X-Gloss, Cosentino Group
Bringing the shine—and then some—the X-Gloss surface joins the Spain-based manufacturer’s ultra-compact sintered Dekton line in five shades of gray. Nonporous, it comes in 8mm, 12mm, and 20mm thicknesses with uses indoors and outdoors from flooring to façades. Available in slab dimensions up to 1.4m by 3.2m. dekton.com


Corian Charging Surface, DuPont
A concealed transmitter placed on the underside of Corian brand solid-surface countertops reduces the need for electrical outlets and cords that can clutter workspaces. Users can power up many brands of mobile phones and tablets by placing them on the Corian Charging Surface with either a companion Duracell Powermat ring inserted into the mobile device or its own integrated wireless charging function. corian.com/powerup
