As a project developer, you need to juggle various factors when choosing the most suitable finishing materials. Cost efficiency, quality, and aesthetics: it’s anything but a simple balancing act. Hopefully, we can eliminate one dilemma: composite or ceramics for your residential project? We’ll tell you why composite is the way to go.
Avoid complaints, receive praise
Whether you’re looking for 10, 20, 50, or even 100 new kitchen countertops, wall coverings, or sink tops: every future resident of your construction project deserves a home that brings minimal worries.
Diresco’s composite can play a very important role in this. But it also provides peace of mind for you as a project developer, compared to ceramics.
1. Composite can take a hit
To begin with, composite has intrinsic hardness that is remarkable. The material is extremely resistant to high impact. The risk of chipping and cracks due to an unfortunate transporter or contractor during installation is therefore minimal. Whereas with the (re)placement of a ceramic countertop, you might want to cross your fingers.
A – literally – strong property that daily users of composite will undoubtedly enjoy. In other words, composite guarantees minimal damage costs and a very attractive total cost of ownership.
2. Low maintenance thanks to the closed surface
In terms of maintenance, composite scores very well: it is stain-resistant, non-porous, and therefore easy to clean and keep clean. Something your future residents will undoubtedly be grateful for. Just like the warm, soft touch that composite is known for!
3. Luxury experience without the price tag
Admittedly, ceramics can offer an enormous range of colors and designs. But composite is also making great strides in this area and today guarantees a wide range of high-quality finishes. At Diresco, as a project developer, you have the choice of no less than 11 different collections with numerous variations.
A natural marble look, sleek concrete structures, or warm earthy tones. From the world-famous Taj Mahal to the ever-luxurious Carrara. Each one high-end executions down to the smallest details, but without the price tag of traditional natural stone like marble. In other words: Diresco stands for a quality guarantee that gives your return on investment a significant boost.
4. Visual details as commercial opportunity
Composite is a full-body product. This means that the side of the countertop after processing shows the same color shades, patterns, and details (e.g., veins) as on the top side. This is not the case with ceramics, where the edge is completely smooth.
A minor detail for some, but for project developers who have an eye for detail and focus on quality experience, this can be an important extra sales argument.
5. Extra ESG and SDG points
Diresco’s composite is composed of mineral granulates, color pigments, but also bio-resins that are based on plant ingredients. This makes our material not only sustainable in use but also in origin. We also extend these sustainable efforts daily in our low-carbon business processes, both in production and logistics.
An extra plus for project developers. Especially in the context of growing expectations around ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) and SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) within project development and real estate investment funds.
And as a final advantage: service on & beneath the surface
At Diresco, we believe not only in the versatility of our composite but also in the power of thorough collaboration within project construction. We are happy to think along with your project, provide samples, advice, and the necessary technical support. And thanks to our extensive network of stone processors and kitchen builders, we can possibly mean even more for your construction project.
