The surface of this material guarantees to withstand knocks, scratches and abrasions. It’s hygienic and easy to clean, suitable for contact with food, anti-mold, antistatic, waterproof, resistant to dry heat and rubbing, resistant to acid solvents and domestic reagents, with wonderfully intense and deep colors. The new Stosa worktops are available in a range of classic and trendy colors.
