Surface satisfaction

When unique is what you seek in counter surface products, look no further than Vicostone.

Vicostone is an international leader in quartz surface products with a presence that extends to 50 countries. In Canada, Vicostone offers a national distribution network that includes sites in Ontario, Quebec, BC, Alberta, Nova Scotia and Manitoba. The company opened its Winnipeg facility last year with a large showroom and warehouse at 9-1680 Notre Dame.

“We offer a 1,500 square foot showroom where people can take their time and comfortably look over a huge selection of high-quality quartz products,” says Winnipeg-based sales representative Greg Bottrell. He remarks that Vicostone offers a vast selection of 65 colours, many of which are highly unique. “Here at our Winnipeg facility, we currently have 38 colours available for immediate delivery. All others are shipped from our Calgary centre,” he says, adding that Vicostone is an international company focused on global trends. “Our distinctive colour pallet in our innovative collections mirrors the latest in design, and our technology allows us to deliver a balance between luxury and practicality. Vicostone products deliver a sophisticated natural appearance at very competitive pricing,” he says.

According to Bottrell, Vicostone offers not just unique colours where they can meet current design trends headon but offers larger-sized slabs as well. “We have slabs that are 65 inches wide. This means that an overhang for a kitchen island can be made without using a second piece,” says Greg, mentioning that they offer six price points from entry level upward.

Vicostone products are manufactured in Vietnam to exacting standards and then shipped worldwide. These surface products are composed of up to 93% natural quartz and are stain-resistant as well as resistant to scratch, heat, impact and many corrosive chemicals such as acids and common cleaners. Vicostone is low maintenance and cleans up with just soap and water. And, it never needs to be resealed, unlike granite or marble. Vicostone is also air quality safe (NSF, ANSI 51, GreenGuard) and is made especially for kitchens and bathroom applications.

“Without question, we offer some very distinct advantages regarding surface products,” concludes Bottrell. “Our colour pallet offers unique selections unavailable within other manufacturers’ catalogues. Our price point is also worth investigating. We are highly competitive, and our quality speaks for itself,” he says, inviting people to drop into their Notre Dame Ave. facility to discover the unique qualities of Vicostone quartz surfaces.
