Special feature: The edges of the knife block made of Steel Grey are tilted backwards and slightly rounded. For an even slimmer effect.
Steel Grey, which is similar to granite, is a steel-grey monzonite rock with a small to medium-coarse grain. The darker areas on the surface are mostly made up of biotite, while the lighter areas are made up of various feldspars. The surface of this stone has a very special finish. The satin finish “Lapatura” is brushed and polished. The special thing about this surface is that it is rough and shiny polished at the same time.
Are you wondering how this is supposed to work? TYCOON STONE SCHMIDKE will explain it to you: The natural stone is ground with brushes that have a certain abrasive grain. Technically speaking, the following happens: The softer components of the minerals on the surface, mostly the biotites, are brushed out and deepened during this processing, while the harder minerals such as feldspars and quartz are not removed. The stone is then treated with increasingly finer brushes. This removes coarse components from the surface and brushes it "smooth".
The final step involves polishing the brushed surface to round off the spectacular 3D effect with a visually impressive shine. The surface now feels smooth and velvety. The light reflection on this Lapatura surface creates very beautiful plays of light.
