Caesarstone took centre stage in a Channel 4 home renovation programme as its quartz worktops were chosen to provide a fresh take on terrazzo.

Helping to transform a quintessentially Georgian kitchen on Channel 4’s flagship property makeover show George Clarke’s Old House, New Home, Caesarstone quartz worktops in the colour 6600 Nougat play a pivotal role in the modernisation of an outdated townhouse in Broadstairs, Kent.

The episode, hosted by celebrity architect and property transformation expert George Clarke, aired on Thursday 9th August to a viewing audience of over 1.5 million viewers.
During the episode, ambitious new owners Mark and Natalie take on the challenge of converting what was once a grand period property – but in recent times an unused and neglected care facility with unusual 20th century modifications – into a modern family household.

The open-plan kitchen, dining and living room sit at the heart of the home and so Mark and Natalie wanted to create a space that would withstand the happy chaos a busy family creates. The terrazzo-inspired Caesarstone surfaces reflect the modern vs. old fusion décor present throughout the property in the form of textured wallpaper, skylights and even a music room. The light worktops, fabricated by Sussex Stone and Ceramics Ltd., stand in good company with soft-grey shaker cabinetry by Howdens and a traditional range cooker befitting to its 19th century surroundings.

Jon Stanley, Caesarstone UK’s VP of Marketing, said: “The old school glamour of terrazzo is experiencing a revival in the UK. Caesarstone Nougat is a modern take on the characteristic ‘fleck’ of terrazzo, combining coarse grains and chunky quartz chips on a light background.
“Mark and Natalie’s kitchen transformation is proof that it is a transitional look; sympathetic to both period homes and modern-day projects. We are delighted that the family love their new worktops and we know they will serve the house for many decades to come.”
