A white base with dramatic grey veining that flows organically across the slab — it captures the look of Calacatta marble without any of the maintenance compromises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe veining in Palmyra is bold but not uniform. It varies in intensity across the slab, creating natural movement that makes each installed kitchen feel individual. Under overhead spotlights, the grey veins develop soft shadows that add genuine depth. In morning light from a window, the white base glows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalmyra pairs beautifully with both shaker and handleless doors. Grey or sage-toned cabinets pick up the vein colour. White units keep the look clean and let the stone do the talking. For kitchen islands, the continuous veining across a two-slab installation can be genuinely striking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-tab-content\" data-tab=\"specifications\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e93% natural quartz with polymer resin binder\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite base with dramatic grey veining\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eThickness options\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20mm \/ 30mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSlab dimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2900 × 1300mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCoverage options\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 slab \/ 1.5 slabs \/ 2 slabs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFinish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolished\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEdge profile\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard square (upgrades available)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight per slab\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 45kg (20mm) \/ 65kg (30mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHardness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMohs 7\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWater absorption\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.02%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHeat resistance\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 150°C — always use a trivet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStain resistance\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNon-porous, no sealing required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWarranty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10-year manufacturer warranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-tab-content\" data-tab=\"installation\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOur Fitting Process\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStep 1 — Order and book.\u003c\/strong\u003e Select Palmyra in your thickness and coverage, book your site visit date.
