The Stone

See the natural beauty of Aluminous up close — the surface texture, colour depth, and veining that make this porcelain unique.

Colour:

Grey

A cool, uniform grey surface that brings the honest beauty of polished concrete into your kitchen — without the cracks, stains, or maintenance.

Aluminous strips everything back to its essence: a clean, cool grey surface with the understated character of honed concrete. There are no veins, no patterns, no distractions — just a beautifully uniform grey with the faintest tonal variation that gives it depth without fuss. This is a worktop for design purists who believe that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. Aluminous excels in minimalist kitchens with flat-panel cabinetry, crisp white walls, and industrial-inspired fixtures. It also works brilliantly as a commercial surface for retail counters, office workstations, and hospitality settings where a neutral, contemporary worktop is required. The Honed finish complements the concrete aesthetic with a smooth, matte touch.

Frequently Asked

Questions About Aluminous

Is Aluminous completely plain with no pattern?
Aluminous is very close to plain but has the faintest tonal variation and subtle texture that gives it depth. It is not perfectly flat or featureless — there is a gentle, almost imperceptible concrete-like quality that prevents it from looking synthetic. It is the most minimalist surface in the collection after Whitenna.
What is the difference between Aluminous and actual polished concrete?
Aluminous delivers the concrete aesthetic without any of concrete's practical problems. Real polished concrete cracks, chips, stains from spills, develops surface wear patterns, and requires periodic re-sealing. Aluminous is completely non-porous, crack-proof, stain-proof, and maintenance-free, while looking virtually identical to a well-finished concrete surface.
Can Aluminous be used for a retail counter?
Yes. Aluminous's uniform cool grey aesthetic is ideal for retail environments where a modern, neutral counter surface is needed. Its porcelain body handles constant customer interaction, bag placement, and daily cleaning without any surface wear or staining. The contemporary concrete look aligns well with modern retail design.
How grey is Aluminous — is it warm or cool?
Aluminous is a definitively cool grey. It does not carry the warm taupe or beige undertones seen in surfaces like Silvax or Auralux. Its cool-toned grey works best with contemporary, minimal interiors that favour chrome, stainless steel, and cool-toned paint colours.
What thickness is Aluminous available in?
Aluminous is available in the standard Caesarstone porcelain thickness of 12mm. This slender profile creates a sleek, contemporary edge that complements the minimalist concrete aesthetic. The 1600×3200mm slab size provides generous coverage for large worktop runs and island installations.
★★★★★
"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!"
