A near-black slab with a neutral tone and very even surface. Minimal variation across the slab, consistent in depth and cast.
Swatches sampled from the slab photograph. Screen colour is not slab colour, so approve a physical sample before ordering.
This slab is a solid, uniform dark tone with a neutral character. It is suitable for buyers seeking a consistent, modern look in residential and commercial interiors. Used in kitchens, bathrooms, and architectural features where a clean, dark aesthetic is desired.
Countertop fabricators and builders looking for a consistent dark slab with neutral tone
Sourcing a dark slab with minimal variation and neutral cast that performs reliably in fabrication and installation
Even tone reduces visual inconsistencies in large installations
High quartz content ensures durability and resistance to wear
Neutral cast complements a wide range of cabinetry and finishes
Compared with natural marble this slab does not need sealing and does not etch under kitchen acids. Compared with sintered stone it is easier to fabricate but less tolerant of a hot pan placed directly on the surface.
Values marked TBC are confirmed per order rather than guessed at here.

Quartz aggregate, resin and pigment are weighed to the recipe recorded against the colour code.
The mix is laid up so the pattern falls the way the design specifies rather than at random.
The slab is compacted under vacuum and vibration to drive out air voids.
The pressed slab is cured so the binder reaches full strength before any machining.
Slabs are calibrated to thickness and finished polished, honed or leathered.
Slabs are checked against the colour code, then bundled on A-frames for sea freight.
Store slabs vertically on an A-frame. Flat stacking large formats invites cracks that only show when the slab is lifted.
Confirm vein direction before cutting on patterned codes, and dry-lay bookmatched pairs before committing the cut.
Warm water, a soft cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid oven cleaner, drain products and abrasive pads on a polished finish.
No. The slab has a uniform appearance with no visible veining or significant pattern variation.
Yes. Standard thicknesses are 2 cm and 3 cm. Custom thicknesses are available upon request.
This slab is available in polished, honed, and leathered finishes. Contact us for availability.
Yes. Email [email protected] with the code 5996, the thickness and the finish you want, plus a shipping address. Samples are free to distributors, builders and countertop factories.
2 cm and 3 cm are standard across the range. Custom thicknesses are developed on request.
Order against the same code, thickness and finish. Codes are produced to a recorded recipe, which is what makes a repeat order match.
Tell us the thickness, finish and quantity you need and we will come back with availability.
