The Stone
See the natural beauty of Basalt Black up close — the surface texture, colour depth, and veining that make this porcelain unique.
A deep charcoal volcanic basalt-effect porcelain with subtle linear striations and natural stone texture.
Basalt Black channels the quiet power of volcanic stone through a deep charcoal-graphite surface with barely perceptible horizontal striations. This is not a flat, featureless black but a surface with genuine geological character ??? very faint horizontal banding suggests the natural layering process of cooled basalt, while micro-textural variation prevents the surface from ever feeling lifeless. The colour reads as a rich, deep charcoal rather than a stark true black, which gives it warmth and dimensional depth. The satin-matte finish enhances the natural stone quality. This is a surface for those who want dark drama without the high-maintenance polish of marble ??? understated, architectural, and endlessly sophisticated.

"Excellent Service and Beautiful Results - Highly Recommended! I recently had In2stone install new quartz worktops in my kitchen, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, the experience was completely stress-free. The team was not only competitively priced but also incredibly friendly and professional throughout the entire process. They handled everything seamlessly - removing the existing sink, hob, and old laminate worktops before fitting the new quartz surfaces. The finished worktops are absolutely beautiful and have transformed my kitchen into a modern, minimalist space that I love spending time in. The quality of workmanship is outstanding, and the attention to detail really shows. I'm a very satisfied customer and would highly recommend In2stone to anyone considering new worktops. Well done to the entire team - you've exceeded my expectations!"— Ashley ChapmanGoogle Review
