Use of Stone in Monks Lantern Weybridge
Monks Lantern is a very upmarket property which was completely refurbished by Royalton Limited with stoneCIRCLE manufacturing and supplying the stone.
Bookmatched Calacatta Vagli marble was used to stunning effect in the master bathroom of this prestigious £9 million house, while the ensuite was tiled with St Moritz marble.
Beautiful large size Thala Beige polished limestone tiles were laid throughout the main entrance hall, up the main staircase and on the landing floors. The same stone was water jet cut to form a circular motif on the raised part of the entrance hall floor.
The back staircase, kitchen/family room floors and the lower ground floor/pool area floors were tiled using Grigio Perla limestone sandblasted to give it a lovely granular finish. The pool area walls were tiled in striking Moss Green slate which added dramatic interest to the understated limestone floor.
Two contrasting islands were fitted in the kitchen: the first was in polished Caesarstone Oyster with a sharks nose edge, the second was in Bianco Eclipsia Quartzite.
