Perla White: The Perfect Surfacing Solution

A Pure White Marble Look with Unparalleled Strength

Perla White is a revolutionary surfacing solution designed by Esra Arıcı, offering the beauty of pure white marble with unmatched durability and functionality. With its unique properties and high-tech production process, Perla White is setting new standards in the world of design.

Perla White is inspired by the rare beauty of pure white marble with white veins, known as pearl marble. Unlike other white marbles that often have varied colors of veins, Perla White features a transparent base color with opaque white veins, creating a truly unique design. This combination of colors and patterns makes Perla White stand out as a one-of-a-kind surfacing solution.

What sets Perla White apart is not just its stunning aesthetics, but also its exceptional strength and durability. Made from natural quartz aggregates and advanced polymers, Perla White is harder and four times more resistant to flexion than granite. Its compacted structure makes it incredibly hard and nonporous, eliminating the need for annual sealing. This makes Perla White a low-maintenance and long-lasting choice for kitchen countertops and other surface solutions.

Perla White is not only visually appealing but also highly functional. Its superior properties include scratch resistance, hygienic and antibacterial surfaces, fireproofing, chemical resistance, and thermal shock resistance. These qualities make Perla White suitable for a wide range of applications, ensuring both beauty and functionality in any space.

The production process of Perla White involves mixing natural quartz minerals and resin in mixers. The mixture is then transported to a distribution unit, where a vein effect unit adds the marble look pattern. The mixture is then pressed under vacuum in a vibration press, shaping it into slabs with dimensions of 152 cm width, 30 cm depth, and 310 cm height. The slabs are cured in an oven, polished with diamond abrasives for a high-gloss finish, and subjected to rigorous quality control. The final product is a bundle of Perla White slabs ready to be transported to clients.

The Perla White project, led by designer Esra Arıcı and her team, started in March 2014 at the Belenco research and development laboratory pilot plant. It was later exhibited at the Marble 2015 event in Izmir, Turkey, and has since gained popularity in the US market. The design was meticulously researched and developed, with raw materials chosen from the most white quartz on earth to achieve the desired pure white look.

Perla White has received recognition for its exceptional design and functionality. It was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Building Materials and Construction Components Design category in 2017. This prestigious award is given to designs that meet professional and industrial requirements, integrating industry best practices and competent technical characteristics.

With its unparalleled strength, stunning aesthetics, and superior functionality, Perla White is revolutionizing the world of surfacing solutions. Whether used in kitchens, bathrooms, or other spaces, Perla White offers a timeless and durable design that will elevate any environment.
