Sensa Kitchen Worktops

Direct from the UK’s leading specialists, worktops.net

Each slab of Sensa is unique and has and its own characteristic touch of elegance. The granite is extracted by Consentino, who has been a global market leader for the past 80 years, and is then treated with a superior protective sealant.  Standard stone sealants contain agents with high molecular weight to create a mechanical barrier to protect the stone. These barriers are worn down by everyday household cleaners and it is therefore necessary to re-seal the stone regularly to prolong its life, whereas the treatment that has been developed by Consentino chemically attaches itself to the stone surface to create a permanent barrier and does not require resealing. Sensa has a 10 year limited manufacturer’s warranty.

Available in a great range of colours, it is the perfect selection for kitchen designs from traditional to contemporary.
