Strata Cosmos is a deep ebony quartz with subtle grey veining that catches light as it crosses the surface. In a well-lit kitchen, the stone has genuine depth — layers of dark tone that shift depending on your angle and the time of day.
This is not a flat black. Hold a sample under a downlight and you will see fine crystalline movement running through the slab. Under natural daylight from a window, the surface takes on a softer, more charcoal quality. That versatility is what makes Cosmos work in both contemporary and transitional kitchens.
Cosmos pairs best with light cabinetry. White handleless units create sharp, clean contrast. Pale grey shaker doors soften the drama slightly while keeping the worktop as the focal point. We would avoid pairing with very dark cabinets unless the kitchen has exceptional natural light — dark on dark risks making the space feel enclosed.

Our Fitting Process
Step 1 — Order and book. Select Strata Cosmos in your chosen thickness and coverage, then pick a site visit date at checkout. We confirm exact availability within 3 working days by phone.
Step 2 — Site visit. Our fitter visits your home with a laser templating system accurate to 0.5mm. They measure every angle, check for level, photograph the full layout, and discuss cutout positions and edge details with you. This typically takes 30-45 minutes.
Step 3 — Fabrication. Your Cosmos slab is CNC-cut to your exact template. Sink, hob, and tap cutouts are precision-machined. Drainer grooves are routed. Edge profiles are finished. Fabrication takes 5-7 working days.
Step 4 — Fitting day. A team of two arrives with your finished worktop. They remove existing surfaces, bed the new stone on silicone adhesive, make all joints, seal every edge, and remove all waste. Typical fitting time is 4-6 hours.
Please note: the site visit date selected at checkout is your preference. We will confirm exact availability within 3 working days of your order by phone.
Strata Cosmos — Common Questions
How much does Strata Cosmos cost?
Strata Cosmos starts from £1,920 for a single 20mm slab (2900×1300mm), fully fitted. The 30mm version starts from £2,050. Two-slab options for larger kitchens are available from £2,890 (20mm) and £3,150 (30mm). All prices include supply, template, fabrication, fitting, cutouts, and warranty.
Will Strata Cosmos show fingerprints and watermarks?
Dark quartz surfaces can show watermarks and fingerprints more than lighter colours — this is true of any dark stone. A quick wipe with a damp cloth removes them instantly. Most customers find this a minor trade-off for the dramatic visual impact Cosmos provides.
What cabinet colour works best with Strata Cosmos?
White or light grey cabinets create the strongest contrast and are our most popular pairing. Pale timber fronts also work well. Avoid very dark cabinets unless your kitchen has generous natural light.
Is Strata Cosmos suitable for a kitchen island?
Absolutely. Our two-slab option (2×2900×1300mm) covers most island configurations. Cosmos makes a particularly striking island surface because the dark tone anchors the centre of the room.
