Global surfaces leader Cosentino launches four new quartzite options in the Sensa range
Cosentino presents Sensa to the Middle East. Consisting of a range of protected natural stones, Sensa has been introduced to the region to cater to its growing demands for luxury residential and commercial construction. Previously only used in select regional projects, the Sensa range has been available in global markets since 2006.
Combining the beauty and natural elegance of quartzites and granites with an exclusive anti-stain treatment that acts at the molecular level for minimal maintenance, the Sensa range offers an advantage unmatched in the market.

To mark the occasion of its arrival into the Middle East, Cosentino is introducing four quartzites of high aesthetic and design value that, like the entire brand portfolio, feature the avant-garde Senguard NK anti-stain protection, developed exclusively by Cosentino’s R&D team. Thanks to this technology, the entire portfolio of Sensa by Cosentino offers a high level of protection against liquids and acids, is scratch resistant and enables easy maintenance. The collection carries a certified 15-year warranty.
This performance is accompanied by an incomparable aesthetic as evidenced by these new quartzites – Itara, Marau, Oihana and Cristalo – which provide designs full of personality, making them ideal for creating distinctive spaces. These quartzites also feature a ‘Mirage’ texture, which, thanks to an abrasive treatment, produces a glossy finish over the entire surface. Slabs are available in large formats (from a minimum of 2.8 x 1.8 metres / 110 x 71 inches) and in thicknesses of 20 and 30 mm.
Itara is an emerald green quartzite traced by white and copper accents that ripple softly across the surface in soft, peaceful waves. Marau offers a more intricate feel through its cool grey canvas, interwoven with hints of blue, gold, burgundy, and cream; its veins move between bold sweeps and precise lines. Oihana commands attention with a black surface streaked by white veins with touches of grey, cream and brown, evoking a sense of depth. Finally, Cristalo features calm tones, with its translucent whites and silvery veins reminiscent of expanses of ice and snow.
Sensa by Cosentino is a perfect proposal for the most demanding users and professionals that are lovers of the unique beauty of natural stone, who also need a resistant material with outstanding performance.
