Good Things Arrive in Threes with London 2012 and Crystalstone Quartz
Tuesday, May 22nd, 2012
We’ve been tracking the progress of the Olympic torch so far as it makes its way around the UK. It is currently somewhere between Taunton and Bristol on day four of its 70-day relay. When the Olympics begin on July 27th, London will be the first city to host the games for a third time. As they say, good things come in threes – which is certainly the case with regards to our premium quality products from the Crystalstone Quartz range:
1. Quartz Tiles for walls and floors have a sparkly surface and are available in a range of colours and also in mosaic varieties. These tiles are a stunning choice for kitchens and bathrooms.
2. Quartz Mirrors in rectangular, square, circular and oval shapes are stylish and classy.
3. Bespoke Quartz Worktops are an excellent option for not only bathrooms and kitchens but also shops, hotels and restaurants.

This venue will host four events, which are; diving, swimming, synchronised swimming and modern pentathlon. Within the Olympic Park is the Olympic Village which will house around 17,000 athletes during the games. The Olympic Village is an impressive complex, comprising of shops, restaurants, medical, media and leisure facilities. Tiles Porcelain supplied the
