CHALLENGE:
Options for countertops are limited to cheap, unattractive
formica, expensive, high-maintenance granite, bland engineered-stone,
porous butcherblock, or ultra-expensive boutique, experimental
materials. In modern homes and new condominiums and high-rises,
formica is, and should be, ruled out. Experimental, boutique
materials are far too expensive, and have not proven their
durability over time. As a result, granite and engineered
stone are often the most popular option. Yet they
are both very costly, are easily scratched or cracked, and
cannot be repaired. Additionally, granite usually hails
from a land far, far away (i.e.: Brazil, Norway, China),
requiring great expense and abundant fossil fuels to transport
it. Furthermore, due to their prevalence in most new
homes and condominiums, granite and engineered stone have
become a too-available commodity, and have lost their allure.
Prospective new home and condominium buyers
seek something new, beyond the over-used granite and engineered stone clichés.
They seek counters that complement the clean, straight lines
of modern interiors. They seek an upgrade that doesn't cost
like an upgrade.
Apartment and condominium developers are increasingly
being urged to increase their projects' LEED rating through
incorporation of sustainable, recyclable materials. Countertops
that fit these criteria cost far too much.
SOLUTION: INFINITOS
is the solution. Available for new construction and
remodels, INFINITOS is designed by an acclaimed team of
architects and designers. Inspired by the modern Bauhaus
movement, INFINITOS is constructed of solid steel, exuding
unrivalled permanence, presence, and solidity.
INFINITOS elicits visceral reactions of admiration
and draws you to its elegance, thin profile, and warm, modern
appearance. These are reactions that granite, engineered
stone, or poured-in-place concrete could never match.
INFINITOS incorporates salvaged materials,
when available.
In the spirit of sustainability, INFINITOS
is fully recyclable and reusable. In traditional remodel
scenarios, countertops made of granite or other material
are simply removed and disposed of in our already-overflowing
landfills.
INFINITOS, however, can simply be removed,
re-surfaced again, and reinstalled time after time, giving
you generations upon generations of solid service, beauty, and tremendous return
on investment. Simply contact us, and for a fee, a MINIMIS-certified
representative will come, carefully remove the countertops,
and return them to you, installed, with the new color of
your choice! There isn't a more waste-free, eco-friendly approach to remodeling, anywhere else.
Apartment & property management companies
and hotel / resorts benefit greatly from MINIMIS' value
proposition, because we help minimize waste, effort, investment
and carbon-footprint. MINIMIS can be contracted in advance to update
the surface color at later dates.
INFINITOS employs ZERO toxic adhesives for
installation. Instead, INFINITOS boasts a MINIMIS-designed
100% mechanical fastening system, making installation and
de-installation easy.
Due to the fact that it is easily removed,
it is considered furniture, rather than a fixture, so INFINITOS
can be depreciated 15% to 20% every year - a significant
attribute for any business owner, developer or apartment
owner, looking to minimize their tax liability.
INFINITOS is available as a simple, horizontal
countertop, or as a peninsula (with one vertical return),
or a as full island (with two vertical returns). Due to
the modularity, INFINITOS can be personalized
to suit your taste, enabling you to choose one color for
the horizontal countertop, and another color or colors for
your returns! (additional charge applies).
INFINITOS is available in a wide range of
extremely tough, non-toxic
colors.
INFINITOS has innumerable advantages over
other countertop options on the market:
- Engineered stone manufacturers websites warn that
their products can emit radon gas, a colorless, odorless,
radioactive gas, that when inhaled can cause lung cancer.
Additionally, engineered stone countertops employ heavy-duty
industrial plastics as a bonding agent.
- Granite is porous and brittle, and is very stain-prone.
- Formica requires a host of toxic chemicals in the manufacturing
process, contains melamine, and is very scratch-prone.
- Poured-in-place concrete is extremely porous, is very
stain-prone, and reacts with vinegar and lemon juice.
INFINITOS is super-tough, exceedingly stain-resistant,
non-porous, non-toxic, re-surfaceable, and ultimately, fully
recyclable.
INFINITOS work with all cabinet types, and
are fully compatible with IKEA cabinet systems.
INFINITOS boasts a limited lifetime warranty
on the steel and structure, and a limited five-year warranty
on the pigmentation.
