Crystal Stone Granite & Quartz Worktops
We are the sole UK importers and distributers of crystal stone and currently hold over half a million pounds worth in our depot in Hertfordshire.
Crystal stone is manufactured in the South of Italy using the latest Italian technology and is of the very finest quality.
Crystal stone is made up of 93% quartz and 7% polymers and resins. Quartz is the second strongest mineral on the planet – the only mineral stronger is diamond and that is why we use diamond blades to cut and polish it.
We are currently stocking 11 of the most popular colours at the moment with a colour to compliment any kitchen style. ALL WORKTOPS ARE SOLID 30MM THICK AND ARE FULLY GUARANTEED FOR 5 YEARS

5 reasons why to choose Crystal stone as your worksurface:
- Maintenance free – once installed will need no further sealing or treating as do conventional granites which need to be sealed every 6 months
- Scratch free – will not scratch easily like a granite worksurface would
- Stain free – as it is completely non pourous it will not hold oil and water marks as granite would
- Highly flexible – will not crack 6 months down the line because of movement in the kitchen units – you would be amazed how many granite worktops crack around the hob area 6 months after they have been fitted
- Uniform appearance – will not have patches of different shades in it as you would get with granite
