Why should I choose marble effect worktops instead of natural marble?
There are several reasons why you might choose a marble-effect worktop made from quartz, porcelain or mineral over a natural marble kitchen worktop.
Lower maintenance: Quartz, porcelain and mineral are all non-porous materials, unlike marble. This means they are less likely to stain from spills and require no sealing to maintain.
More durable: These engineered materials are generally harder and more scratch-resistant than marble. They are better suited for busy kitchens where you will be chopping and preparing food regularly.
Tactile: Unlike marble effect laminate worktops, our quartz, mineral and porcelain surfaces have a tactility almost indistinguishable from natural marble. For example, they are cold to the touch, making them excellent for baking and other cooking. Plus our marble worktops are also beautifully polished or honed, just like natural marble.
Consistent patterns: While marble offers a beautiful unique look and are normally sourced from a stone dealer, quartz, porcelain and mineral worktops have been designed to capture the beauty of marble with a consistency that reduces the complexity of sourcing natural marble.

Our marble effect worktop reviews
“[Caesarstone] 5031 Statuario Maximus provides the right level of subtle movement in the worksurfaces. The soft white is the perfect tone to complement the raw sawn oak and cabinet doors. The interaction between materials and colours was hugely important in this kitchen. Caesarstone surfaces have a natural look and feel to them which is sometimes hard to find with manmade products. Their high-performance qualities make them an ideal choice for family kitchens.”
Toby Hall, Founder of Inglis Hall
Our marble effect worktop reviews
“We chose Caesarstone’s ‘Woodlands’ design as the deep brown base provides a real sense of depth and softness which prevented the whole project from looking too stark. We loved that the pale beige veins tied in with the space’s original light oak beams, the brass handles, and the illuminated slate panels within the bar.”
“Caesarstone has a great range of surface options, and the London Enfield showroom is perfect for our clients to view all the slabs on a large scale, helping them to select the best material for their dream project.”

Our marble effect worktop reviews
“We wanted a worktop that was light in colour but not too stark or bold, with some veining but not too much…! Frosty Carrina is perfect with its soft ivory tone and gentle veining detail.”
“We knew that Frosty Carrina was a brilliant match. This is a busy kitchen for a growing family with children who love to bake, so we needed a hard-wearing worktop, importantly non-porous and heat resistant. The soft shell colouring of the Frosty Carrina reflects the light all around our client’s bright space so beautifully and the delicate veining like marble gives that natural and luxurious feel."
Ella Driscoll, director at Shere Kitchen
