Each home is unique, depending on your ambience, vision and style. Choosing the finish of a stone bath depends on personal preference. Matte finishes are suited to natural aesthetics, perfect for contemporary and minimal interiors that mirror the luxury of a five-star hotel. However, polished stone baths complement a traditional space due to their sleek reflective finish that adds a hint of opulence. If you’re looking to create an industrial interior opt for deep, dark tones such as our charcoal finish, or create a monochrome bathroom with our range of black baths.
MATTE WHITE
Matte white is one of our signature finishes and a timeless shade that is the epitome of contemporary elegance. A desirable shade for minimalist and Scandi style, the versatile finish can be paired with a wide range of colour palettes including black and gold.

POLISHED WHITE
Polished white achieves a more glossier approach than matte, much loved for its lustrous shine that sits upon the pure white surface. Perfect for modern interiors, our polished white baths are a popular choice by homeowners, hoteliers, and property developers alike. The versatile finish pairs with many of our brassware colourways such as brushed gold and brushed stainless.

BLACK
Embracing style and sophistication, black is a powerful shade that creates drama in a bathroom. One of our signature finishes, you can use black on black or merge the bold shade with lighter, contrasting hues. Black stone baths are fitting to a range of interior aesthetics including industrial, monochrome and cosmopolitan.

CLAY
This earthy, neutral tone adds an air of sophistication to any interior. Our clay stone baths stand as a focal point and can be beautifully styled with our matte white collection, gunmetal brassware or our clay countertop basins. Clay is great for adding contrast to light decor, or creating a dark statement in your bathroom.

EARTH
The taupe-like shade is inspired by earth and natural tones that create a warm, elegant aura. The unique stone has a silk accent to it that radiates sheer elegance. Add brushed stainless fittings for a minimalist setting, or opt for brushed gold to enhance opulence.

CHARCOAL
The dramatic combination of black and grey in the charcoal finish commands attention wherever it’s situated. Bold and sophisticated, yet highly versatile, you can pair a variety of fittings with this shade. Our brushed stainless brassware creates an industrious look, whereas brushed gold brings a sense of affluence.

DUO
Unique to Lusso, our duo finish baths are a combination of matte and polish. Our duo stone baths and basins are finely handcrafted with a matte white exterior and a polished white interior that allows you to experience the best of both texture and feel. A versatile finish that fits into modern bathrooms and offers a unique bathroom experience.
POLISHED VS MATTE
Our Cortese® Stone Composite is available in two different finishes - matte and polished. Both reflect the superior quality and unrivalled design of our stone baths and basins. A polished coating creates a radiant touch, in contrast, a matte finish is smooth and tactile best suited to a clean and minimal aesthetic. We also offer a duo finish which combines the incredible textures of our matte and polished stone finishes to the interior and exterior of the bath, allowing you to appreciate the subtle contrasts in look, feel and texture.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN POLISHED AND MATTE FINISHES?
A radiant polished finish creates a sophisticated, striking appearance that makes any interior feel luxurious. However, a matte finish perfectly retains the elegance and beauty of the Cortese® Stone Composite with a softer appeal, designed with a flat, neutral surface and smooth texture that is ideal for a natural setting. In contrast, polished stone is created with a reflective quality that can make your space look radiant as it emphasises the brightness of the colour.
Our polished stone finish is low maintenance, it requires less cleaning and is much easier to preserve. Stains are less of a worry, as it’s difficult for liquid and moisture to lock in. However, tough scratches on a polished finish can easily be seen due to light reflecting off the polished surface, whereas with a matte finish they can be overlooked. Matte stone requires more in depth cleaning and should be completed frequently, as it’s easier to absorb spilled liquids and moisture such as soap scum.
Whether you choose a polished white bath, matte white or a deep charcoal hue, the reasons to invest in a Lusso freestanding bath are endless. To shop our extensive collection of stone baths, click below.
