The timeless beauty of marble, without the maintenance.
Marble-effect quartz worktops give you the classic look of Carrara, Calacatta and Statuario marble, engineered to be non-porous, stain-resistant and free of the sealing and etching that make real marble so demanding.

Carrara, Calacatta or Statuario?
The three great Italian marbles each have a distinct look. Carrara has soft, feathery grey veining on a cooler white. Calacatta is bolder and more dramatic, often with warm gold tones. Statuario sits between the two: bright white with confident grey veining of varying scale. Our range covers all three, so you can choose the character that suits your kitchen.
Why marble-effect quartz beats real marble
Natural marble is porous, soft and prone to etching from everyday acids like lemon and wine. Marble-effect quartz gives you the same look with none of those drawbacks, no sealing, no etching, no staining. See our full quartz vs marble comparison.
Frequently asked questions
Does marble-effect quartz look real?
Modern marble-effect quartz is remarkably convincing, most people can’t tell it from natural marble at normal viewing distance, and it has genuine depth through the slab.
Does marble-effect quartz etch or stain?
No, unlike real marble, quartz is non-porous and chemically stable, so it won’t etch from acids or stain in normal use.
