DALLAS, July 24, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Durcon Incorporated®, the world's leading manufacturer of laboratory work surfaces for 40 years, announced today their unveiling of 10 distinctive earth tones as the foundational color pallet for their Elements by Durcon brand of countertops. Elements, manufactured by Durcon Incorporated located in Taylor, TX, is a fusion of pure, fine natural quartz, resins and post-consumer recycled glass – virtually indestructible and eco-friendly. The versatile color palette, referred to as the designers' choice, includes Linen, Sahara, Wheat, Suede, Copper, Shoreline, Mist, Steel, Flint and Slate.
"Over the past few months, we have been working closely with interior designers, architects, and fabricators to finalize our color palette," said Kelley Hobbs, general manager, Durcon. "We have also listened to feedback from both DIY and HGTV design teams who have featured our product on several episodes. Our goal is to offer the design community a premium surfaces material and a classic color palette with a timeless design aesthetic. We believe the Elements' color palette enhances the interior designer's work within a kitchen or bath environment versus competing with it. And, the superior durability of Elements exceeds the performance of more conventional materials such as granite and marble. It is the ideal product for today's eco-minded designer and consumer seeking sustainability, without giving up design," he concluded.
For consumers, designers, remodelers and fabricators also wanting to leave a "green" mark, Elements is an eco-friendly non-porous material never requiring sealing. The product line is extremely resistant to heat, scratches and stains from food, juices, wine, coffee, tea, and even nail polish. Satisfying stringent health and safety codes, Elements is NSF 51 certified for food contact and is low-VOC emitting as certified by Greenguard. Use of Elements can also contribute toward LEED Certification.
Element's foundational color palette personifies the name with 10 colors reflective of the pure and natural earth tones. The radiant high-gloss finish reveals the recycled glass material in a unique way to create a glistening effect while enhancing the depth, clarity and pattern. This luxurious finish makes this new countertop surface a great design choice for both a traditional and contemporary home design.
