Large-format ceramics with the unmistakable signature of the designers at SapienStone

Every kitchen or bathroom can be a beautiful and functional space. ELITE BATH+KITCHEN has been helping architects and designers bring their visions to life for many years, realizing projects designed with an open mind and creative spirit. The result is interiors crafted down to the smallest detail.


Large-format porcelain slabs by SapienStone, made from ceramic clays and mineral dyes, have versatile applications. They can be applied to floors and walls or used to create kitchen countertops that resist heat and water. The slabs are available in many designs – from subtle light shades with a silk or polished surface to striking basalt black. Perhaps the most typical representative of SapienStone's production are slabs with characteristic marble veining.

Perfect Craftsmanship

All successful projects always start with the vision of the architect or designer. "The ideas of our customers drive us forward, ignite our passion for the craft, and our desire to transform ideas into reality," says Lukáš Školoud, the general manager of ELITE BATH+KITCHEN, which exclusively represents the company SapienStone, and adds: "We strive to meet every architect's request, which we achieve thanks to the unique technological and production background of JEŽ stonework combined with our know-how." The company JEŽ – stone working, Ltd., has top-notch machinery that has no competition in Central Europe, with which the company can create almost anything that is technically possible.

Slabs Suitable for Direct Contact with Food

SapienStone ceramics are equipped with what is known as an active surface treatment, which makes them resistant to high temperatures, disinfectants, and other chemical agents, as well as mechanical damage. Therefore, hot pots or pans can be placed on a countertop made from this material without any worries, or various ingredients can be chopped on it without the use of a cutting board. Thanks to its hygienic and non-absorbent surface, it is suitable for direct contact with food – including acidic ones, such as citrus fruits or vinegar. Active surfaces also have a natural self-cleaning ability, eliminate bacteria and viruses, and are effective in combating odors. No unnecessary chemicals are needed for their maintenance.

The slabs can also find their application in bathrooms, where they can withstand a hot hair straightener or spilled nail polish remover, and they are suitable for outdoor installations, where they can be exposed to long-term and intense sunlight without any change in color.
