Fabulous Finishes and Luxury Products
A recently published feature article on the website of popular TV show, This Old House, said it best – luxury home buyers want to show off their wealth! Author Keith Pandolfi writes that for the luxury buyer, “the bank account is bottomless; money is meant to be seen, not saved; and the recession doesn’t exist.” So what are some of the products that the luxury home buyer wants to see in the home of their dreams?
Countertops
This buyer is not afraid to import. European products can be some of the most highly desirable items to luxury consumers, because they are unique, beautiful, and often hand-made. The aforementioned article, The World’s Most Expensive Home Products” features one European resource that’s known for its outstandingly captivating countertops, made in France… from volcanic stone! The author writes, “Pyrolave is a lightweight and extremely durable volcanic stone with a tough glass coating. The countertop material comes in 32 colors, and is extracted from a volcanic crater in central France. It’s then cut into slabs, processed and glazed to create a unique—and uniquely pricey—product.”
Plumbing Fixtures
More than high priced toilets, the Toto company products will outshine and outperform all the rest!
