Concrete Style Quartz and Porcelain Worktops

Concrete worktops have become a popular option across an array of design styles.

Concrete worktops have swiftly risen in popularity, becoming a sought-after choice across a diverse range of design styles. Whether adorning an industrial, minimalist, Scandinavian, or even a country farmhouse-themed space, the versatility of concrete worktops effortlessly elevates the overall aesthetic. This enduring trend has not only captivated the attention of interior design enthusiasts but has also become a staple feature in stylish Instagram posts and esteemed interior magazines.

Delving into the realm of contemporary design, quartz concrete worktops have emerged as a remarkable alternative for those seeking the industrial allure of concrete with added durability and low-maintenance benefits such as 4001 Fresh Concrete. Quartz, a robust and resilient material, not only captures the captivating aesthetic of concrete but also brings unparalleled practicality to the forefront.

Another noteworthy option in the realm of modern worktops is the porcelain worktop. Offering a perfect blend of elegance and durability, porcelain worktops have gained traction for their authentic appearance of poured concrete such as 411 Concrita. These sleek surfaces provide a sophisticated touch to various design styles, from contemporary to classic. With their resistance to scratches, stains, and heat, porcelain worktops stand out as a resilient and visually appealing choice for those seeking a refined concrete or industrial aesthetic in their living spaces without using poured concrete.

Should I choose a concrete worktop?

The allure of concrete worktops, both in their genuine form and concrete-style variations, is undeniable. Boasting a contemporary and timeless appeal, these sleek surfaces effortlessly blend minimalist design with a touch of warmth and earthiness. However, in the realm of kitchen aesthetics, the choices extend beyond concrete alone.

What our customers say

“I first presented my clients with the ‘Metropolitan’ Collection surfaces to consider, and ‘Primordia’ was an instant hit. They loved the variation in colour and texture of the material, and once I explained the low-maintenance and longevity that Caesarstone quartz offers, they were sold on it for their lifestyle as well as for the aesthetic. The coppery veins perfectly complement the oak cabinetry and green within the space, bringing the whole design together”.

What our customers say

“The client wanted something that would work well with the light-coloured kitchen furniture but still add character to the space. Caesarstone’s Cloudburst Concrete was the perfect option, as it added texture and interest whilst still keeping the overall look light and sleek, this was particularly important when the client also wanted to use the same material on their full height backsplash, shelf and waterfall island.”

“Durability and ease of cleaning were key factors in this family’s choice. They chose Caesarstone because they were confident that this product will maintain its beautiful finish for years to come.”

Where to buy your concrete effect worktop

Once you’ve requested your samples, our quartz and porcelain concrete effect worktops are available to buy from a number of stone worktop fabricators and design showrooms around the UK.

Our Black and White Concrete Worktops

We have a range of fantastic concrete quartz worktops that are not just traditionally grey in colour. For example, 4601 Frozen Terra is a classic white and neutral-coloured canvas for any kitchen, fusing the playfulness of terrazzo with the robustness of concrete. 4001 Fresh Concrete is also a fantastic example of a crisp white concrete delicately touched by subtle greys that breathe warmth and organic energy

As an alternative to the classic white, consider a creamy-beige backdrop to your new kitchen. 412 Beige Ciment offers a natural and neutral-toned warm concrete, using layers and texture to create a weathered porcelain worktop. Similarly, 413 White Ciment offers a whitewashed porcelain concrete surface, offering a cloud-like warm white presence that is highly tactile.

In comparison, 5810 Black Tempal and 5820 Darcrest are a perfect blend of natural and industrial, with a mix of colours and tones providing a mix of real depth and movement. If you’re looking for a slightly lighter worktop than black but without the sterility of a white worktop, consider 4033 Rugged Concrete a darker grey quartz worktop that is flushed with white-haze patinas and industrial-inspired imperfections and a deep textured finish.

For another surface with a darker industrialised feel, consider 411 Concrita. This wonderful porcelain worktop combines the feel of concrete with the rugged aspects of stone, making it the ideal choice in your industrial style kitchen. 302 Metallio Black is another excellent example of how our porcelain worktops transform the popular style of dark industrial surfaces. This gives the surface a look of worn alloys, but it’s still practical and easy to maintain, especially in kitchens that are the heart of the home.
