When you are not cooking, the whole worktop stays free. Below we set out what the manufacturer says and what we confirm ourselves before any design.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The hob has always been the part that breaks up the worktop: a black glass window, with edges and joints around it. The invisible kitchen starts from the opposite idea, that the worktop can be one continuous surface with the hob sitting underneath.<\/p>\n<p><!-- MCG-MODELCARDS --><\/p>\n<style>.mcg-mc{margin:36px 0 44px}.mcg-mc .mc-h{margin:0 0 10px}.mcg-mc .mc-i{margin:0 0 22px;opacity:.85}.mcg-mc .mc-grid{display:grid;grid-template-columns:repeat(auto-fit,minmax(240px,1fr));gap:20px}.mcg-mc .mc-grid>br{display:none}.mcg-mc .mc-card{display:block;background:#161410;border:1px solid #2A2318;border-radius:4px;overflow:hidden;color:#F2EDE6;text-decoration:none;padding-bottom:18px}.mcg-mc .mc-card:hover{border-color:#C8A96E}.mcg-mc .mc-ph{display:block}.mcg-mc .mc-card img{width:100%;height:auto;aspect-ratio:4\/3;object-fit:cover;display:block;margin:0;border-radius:0}.mcg-mc .mc-n{display:block;padding:16px 18px 0;font-size:20px;line-height:1.2;color:#FAF8F4}.mcg-mc .mc-s{display:block;padding:8px 18px 0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.5;color:#C8A96E}.mcg-mc .mc-li{display:block;position:relative;padding:8px 18px 0 36px;font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.5;color:#B8B0A0}.mcg-mc .mc-li::before{content:'\u2013';position:absolute;left:18px;color:#C8A96E}.mcg-mc .mc-vid{display:block;width:100%!important;max-width:none!important;margin:26px 0 0!important}.mcg-mc .mc-vid video{width:100%!important;max-width:none!important;height:auto;aspect-ratio:16\/9;display:block;background:#000;border:1px solid #2A2318}.mcg-mc .mc-vid figcaption{margin-top:8px;font-size:14px;color:#B8B0A0}<\/style>\n<div class=\"mcg-mc\">\n<h2 class=\"mc-h\">Ascale ranges in real spaces<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mc-i\">The Natura and Cement ranges, which Ascale recommends for the invisible kitchen, and the catalogue with all the ranges.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mc-grid\"><a class=\"mc-card\" href=\"\/en\/brands\/ascale\/worktops\/natura\/\"><span class=\"mc-ph\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/mcg-collections\/images\/worktops\/ascale\/ascale-tau-sintered-stone-boreal-umber-ambient-01-800w.webp\" alt=\"\u03a0\u03bb\u03ac\u03ba\u03b1 Ascale Natura Boreal Umber, \u03cc\u03c8\u03b7 \u03be\u03cd\u03bb\u03bf\u03c5\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" decoding=\"async\"><\/span><span class=\"mc-n\">Ascale \u00b7 Natura<\/span><span class=\"mc-s\">Warm wood look in sintered stone<\/span><span class=\"mc-li\">Boreal Sand and Boreal Umber: the grain, knots and texture of wood from the northern forests.<\/span><span class=\"mc-li\">Feel finish, thicknesses 6, 12 and 20 mm.<\/span><span class=\"mc-li\">The aim of the range: the warmth of wood with the strength and easy maintenance of sintered stone.<\/span><\/a><a class=\"mc-card\" href=\"\/en\/brands\/ascale\/worktops\/cement\/\"><span class=\"mc-ph\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/mcg-collections\/images\/worktops\/ascale\/ascale-tau-sintered-stone-cosmopolita-ivory-ambient-01-800w.webp\" alt=\"\u03a0\u03bb\u03ac\u03ba\u03b1 Ascale Cement Cosmopolita Ivory, \u03cc\u03c8\u03b7 \u03c4\u03c3\u03b9\u03bc\u03ad\u03bd\u03c4\u03bf\u03c5\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" decoding=\"async\"><\/span><span class=\"mc-n\">Ascale \u00b7 Cement<\/span><span class=\"mc-s\">Cement design, Matt finish<\/span><span class=\"mc-li\">Ascale\u2019s own cement design, not a reproduction of a quarry stone.<\/span><span class=\"mc-li\">Matt finish across the whole range.<\/span><span class=\"mc-li\">Cosmopolita Silver, Gray, Light, Ivory and Urban White from 3 to 20 mm.<\/span><\/a><a class=\"mc-card\" href=\"\/en\/brands\/ascale\/worktops\/\"><span class=\"mc-ph\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ascale-hero-kitchen.jpg\" alt=\"\u039a\u03bf\u03c5\u03b6\u03af\u03bd\u03b1 \u03bc\u03b5 \u03c0\u03ac\u03b3\u03ba\u03bf Ascale \u03b1\u03c0\u03cc \u03c3\u03c5\u03bd\u03c4\u03b7\u03b3\u03bc\u03ad\u03bd\u03b7 \u03c0\u03ad\u03c4\u03c1\u03b1\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" decoding=\"async\"><\/span><span class=\"mc-n\">Ascale \u00b7 All ranges<\/span><span class=\"mc-s\">Seven ranges of sintered stone<\/span><span class=\"mc-li\">Marble, Luxury, Stone, Cement, Bodytech, Natura and Essentials.<\/span><span class=\"mc-li\">Samples and compositions up close in our showroom in Neo Psychiko.<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<figure class=\"mc-vid\"><video controls playsinline preload=\"none\" poster=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/invisacook-promo-demo-poster.jpg\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/invisacook-promo-demo.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption>Presentation video of the Invisacook invisible hob<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \/MCG-MODELCARDS --><\/p>\n<h2>How it works, as Ascale describes it<\/h2>\n<p>Ascale integrates the induction hob under the worktop with a technology it calls \u201cTPB Tech\u201d. The cooking surface is the worktop itself and, when you switch off, the hob is not visible on the surface.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Made to measure.<\/strong> The hobs are made to the customer\u2019s measurements: you choose how many there will be, how they are arranged and what size they are.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Controls.<\/strong> The controls can be touch or manual.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What you gain<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>More work surface.<\/strong> Without the black glass of a conventional hob, the entire worktop stays available.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Kitchens of any size.<\/strong> Because the cooking zone is inside the worktop, a small kitchen gains space.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Easy cleaning.<\/strong> The worktop is cut in one piece, with no joints or edges where the hob would normally meet the worktop. Ascale states that a cloth and plain soap are enough.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Why sintered stone<\/h2>\n<p>The worktop is sintered stone, in Greek \u201cpyrosyssomatomeni petra\u201d, which Ascale calls \u201cporcelain\u201d on its page. Ascale describes it as resistant to scratches, knocks and temperature changes, non-porous and antibacterial. For a kitchen worktop that works every day, these are exactly the characteristics you are looking for.<\/p>\n<p>The manufacturer also admits the limitation: sintered stone does not come in as many shades as other materials. The look of the kitchen changes mainly through the combination with the cabinets.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Natura<\/strong> for a warm, \u201chomely\u201d look, with cabinets in solid shades such as white or petrol blue, depending on the light in the space.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cemento and Metal<\/strong> for a bolder result, preferably with plain cabinets in contrasting tones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What the page does not say and what we confirm ourselves<\/h2>\n<p>The Ascale page does not mention worktop thickness, hob power, type of cookware or how the surface behaves in the heat of prolonged cooking. We do not assume any of this. Before any design we ask the manufacturer for it and write it into the study, together with the layout of the zones and the way it is controlled.<\/p>\n<p>Our own proposal for a hob under the stone is the <a href=\"\/en\/brands\/invisacook\/\">Invisacook invisible hob<\/a>, with a worktop in <a href=\"\/en\/brands\/ascale\/\">Ascale sintered stone<\/a> as the first choice. The idea is shared, but these are different systems, and which one suits your kitchen we decide in the study.
