🖤 Ta**us Black Quartzite: Tough, fragile, and absolutely stunning.
This kitchen shows exactly what’s possible when a striking stone is handled with the right technical know-how.
The material is Ta**us Black (Black Fusion) Quartzite in a leathered finish. It looks incredible against those olive cabinets and oak beams, but honestly? It is one of the most demanding and volatile materials a stonemason can work with. It’s incredibly tough, yet surprisingly fragile.
That’s where the right team makes all the difference. To make sure these slabs last a lifetime without cracking, we made a few crucial technical adjustments:
🔹 30mm Upstands
We bumped these up from the standard 20mm to give the stone the extra strength it needs.
🔹 Brushed Edges
Swapped out a standard honed edge for a brushed finish to perfectly match that textured, leathered surface.
🔹 Fiber Mesh Reinforcement
Kept the original structural backing intact to protect those intense, delicate gold veins during the cut and fit.
When you choose Craftsman Ltd, you aren’t just buying a piece of stone; you’re investing in the specialized knowledge it takes to craft and install it safely. Leave the complexity to us—we love the challenge.
A massive thank you to our wonderful client for making such a bold choice and trusting our guidance throughout the process; we hope they enjoy this beautiful kitchen for many, many years to come! 🥂
