The Stone

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

Lead-grey concrete-effect with matte cement texture — industrial character balanced between light and dark.

Laminam Fokos Piombo sits in the mid-dark range of the Fokos collection — a lead-grey tone that carries more visual weight than the lighter Fokos surfaces without tipping into the full drama of Grafite. Its matte, cement-like texture creates authentic concrete character, with subtle mottling and chalky surface quality giving it genuine handcrafted feel. Piombo — meaning lead — captures the dense, weighty character of that metal in a surface that feels grounded and substantial. For homeowners who want concrete-effect design with more presence than mid-grey but not the full intensity of near-black, Piombo strikes a mature, sophisticated balance. Industrial but measured.

Frequently Asked

Questions About Fokos Piombo

What does Piombo mean in Fokos Piombo?
Piombo is the Italian word for lead — Fokos Piombo captures the dense, heavy grey of lead in a concrete-inspired surface. It is a dark, weighty grey that feels substantial and grounded, sitting between the mid-tone Fokos surfaces and the darkest Grafite. The leaden quality gives it gravitas and industrial authenticity.
How does Fokos Piombo compare to Fokos Grafite?
Piombo is slightly lighter and cooler than Grafite. Where Grafite is deep graphite-dark, Piombo is a dense lead-grey — dark but with more visible concrete texture and mineral detail. Piombo works better in kitchens where some lightness is needed within a dark scheme; Grafite is the choice for maximum industrial impact and darkness.
Is Fokos Piombo suitable for a kitchen splashback?
Fokos Piombo makes an excellent full-height splashback in the thin 3mm or 5mm format. The concrete texture creates an industrial feature wall behind the cooking zone, and the lead-grey colour provides a dramatic but not overwhelming dark backdrop. Paired with lighter worktops, it creates a sophisticated contrast between horizontal and vertical surfaces.
What timber finishes complement Fokos Piombo?
Fokos Piombo's cool, leaden grey pairs beautifully with warm timber — reclaimed oak, walnut, and smoked oak provide essential warmth that prevents the industrial surface from feeling austere. The contrast between cold concrete-effect porcelain and warm natural wood is a classic design combination that creates balanced, livable industrial interiors.
How does Fokos Piombo handle heavy kitchen use?
Fokos Piombo is built for heavy use. The porcelain construction is harder than granite, completely stain-proof, and heat-resistant to 300°C. The concrete-inspired textured finish hides daily wear marks, fingerprints, and water spots far better than smooth surfaces. It is the kind of surface that actually improves with the patina of daily life, complementing its industrial character.
★★★★★
"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!"
