Has anyone heard reviews or have personally used Talostone?

9 years ago

Hi, I've been shown a sample of stone that closely replicates the caesarstone I want but works out about $1000 cheaper. I think the product was Talostone? French vanilla. Has anyone here used this product or are able to provide feedback on it? Thanks

TALOSTONE - Finest Quartz Surfaces

Talostone is no different in quality to any other brand of engineered stone on the market. Many brands claim their brand is superior to all others. I hate to break their bubble but most of the colours are produced in the same factories and are simply branded differently. Where Talostone has the edge on others is that Talostone chooses to distribute the larger slab sizes of 3240x1640x20mm and 3050x1600x20mm (depending on colour) instead of the smaller slabs. This larger slab size means you buy less number of slabs, hence the huge saving.

TALOSTONE is the leading supplier of Natural stone look Engineered Stone to Australia Market, i.e. Calacatta Gold, Statuario, Carrara Gioia, Carrara Classic, Carrara Gold, Crema Marfil, Marmo Gris, Marquina etc. Please visit www.talostone.com.au or write to george@talostone.com.au for further information or to request samples.

I had not heard of it before but now I have searched on houzz - sure enough there are photos of it. It looks like a pretty high quality finish. Is it? Did you get some?

Has anyone used the Nutribullet?

Lois - I chose a 600W after reading reviews on Amazon etc. The feeling I got was that there wasn't much to gain from the higher rating but people seemed to find it noisier. Presumably there is a reason why they added the 900W version (apart from having a 'premium' product?). I have not felt that the 600W struggles with anything for me, but would be interested to hear other people's view.

Project Flooring LVT-Anyone used?

Bumping up for you. Not heard of them personally but I’m gettingLVT from Cavalio (which is Polyfloor) commercial grade glue down (they also do a click version) with 0.55 wear . Fitter said it’s really good quality, easy to fit and to me, is a much better/more realistic finish than the Karndean I saw. It cost me just over £20 sqm and is commercial grade. They will send you a sample book for colours and the commercial one is the Projectline which isn’t in the shops. I’m v impressed with it, I must say. Hope you get an answer!

Has anyone used outdoor grade porcelain as a patio?

This is just my opinion about porcelain, some people don’t have the same opinion. The non slip factor is fabulous and you can walk barefoot on it in the rain and it’s steady underfloot. It is only the difficulty of cleaning R13 porcelain that is annoying. A lower grade like R11 is easier to clean. I’ve bought a jet washer so we shall see how that goes.

I’ve heard good things but haven’t used it myself. I often keep my eye on eBay for a bargain and have noted this seller who has lots at a really good price - might be worth checking out if the colour works... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224048441218

TALOSTONE's slab sizes are, depending on colour, 3240x1640x20mm or 3050x1600x20mm. The 1600 height make it a lot more economical when cutting. this means a standard kitchen will only require 1 slab as oposed to two or more if other brands were used. Other brands are only 1440mm in height. That is another of many advantages to specify TALOSTONE for your next project.

We had this installed in our new kitchen earlier this year. Originally wanted to go with caesarstone london grey but it is closer to alpine mist in appearance. We are very happy with the finish. It has a nice evenly distributed and subtle creamy vein and is pretty close to the dulux white duck paint we have on walls. It hasn't been tested out enough to really comment on durability.

Talostone equivelant to London Grey is Carrara Gold. This is far more economical than any of the Calacatta stones on the market. the slab size of 3240x1640x20mm again make it much cheaper to use than the London Grey

Hi Katerina, the best way is to inspect Talostone products in full slabs physically. Then you can compare with others to know which one you like the best. We don't say that our colours are the best natural looking ones. We would like our clients to decide which one is the right choice for them. Thanks.

Happy with our choice. I can't comment on how it compares with similar products though as have only lived with timber or laminate bench tops in past. It has withstood several clumsy knocks from pulling pots out of dishwasher (we didn't go with an under mounting sink so can't comment on that). I've noticed one tiny (pin head) sized chip to surface on island but this part of bench gets a lot of use (not sure what caused it). No staining from my messy little artists either.

Rhys11, Ive just put talostone classic Carrara in our new build, weve only been here a couple of weeks, but happy so far, Ive had Quantam quartz and ceaserstone before, no difference in quality etc...

one thing i liked about talostone was their customer service, far superior to any other stone place we went to.

Mummagabz thanks for that. The kitchen designer is really keen on Ceaser. I’ve got it in my bathrooms but not totally wrapped in it. I can’t do real stone as I am too messy. I really like the look of the Talostone. You’ve convinced me to go with it.

Sorry for slow reply. I am still happy with our bench tops (approx 5 years old now). Only a a couple of tiny chips on the mitred edges in the most used areas that could easily be smoothed out. My child gave it a good walk the other day with some dropped crockery and it broke that not the bench. Maybe its a good thing our everyday dinner set is a target cheapie. No discolouration noted.

Ive done Quatum quartz in my bathrooms and laundry, purely because i preferred the colour. I liked talostone because i could get a big slab, 3200x1200, in my preferred colour. It gave me an additional 20cm which is substantial, compared to ceaserstone and QQ.

Do anyone know how much one slab 3200x 1600 of Talostone colour calacutta gold honed finish is?

Has anyone heard reviews or have personally used Talostone?
