The Stone

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

Colour:

Grey

A versatile mid-grey with subtle slate texture — the neutral anchor in Laminam's Slate collection.

Laminam Slate Ankara occupies the comfortable, versatile middle ground of the Slate collection — a neutral mid-grey that works as both a primary surface and a supporting player in virtually any design scheme. Its subtle slate texture adds character and tactile interest without introducing strong pattern or colour variation, making it an ideal blank canvas for homeowners who want their cabinetry, lighting, and fixtures to take centre stage. The grey tone is soft and suffused rather than stark, inspired by the gentle neutrality of natural stone. Ankara pairs effortlessly with both warm and cool palettes, and its textured finish offers practical durability — excellent grip, and more forgiving of daily wear than high-gloss alternatives. A dependable, design-flexible choice.

Frequently Asked

Questions About Slate Ankara

What is the visual character of Laminam Slate Ankara?
Slate Ankara draws its name and visual inspiration from the geological landscape of Turkey's capital region. The surface presents a warm grey-brown with visible stone layering and directional texture that captures the ancient, weathered character of Anatolian stone. It sits between the cooler tones of Alaska and the warmer tones of Burgundy, offering a versatile, earthy neutral.
How does Laminam Slate Ankara compare to other Slate collection surfaces?
Ankara occupies the warm-neutral centre of the Slate collection. Where Alaska is cool and pale, and Burgundy is warm and richly coloured, Ankara blends grey and brown into a balanced, universally compatible surface. This makes it the most versatile Slate surface — it works with both warm and cool design palettes and complements a wide range of cabinetry colours and materials.
Is Laminam Slate Ankara good for an open-plan kitchen-diner?
Ankara's balanced, warm-neutral character makes it particularly effective in open-plan spaces where the worktop needs to harmonise with multiple zones — kitchen, dining, and living areas. Its earthy stone character provides a grounding, natural element that connects different areas of the room, and its versatile colour palette ensures it does not clash with furnishings in adjoining spaces.
What maintenance does Laminam Slate Ankara require?
Laminam Slate Ankara requires minimal maintenance — simply wipe with warm water and a mild detergent for daily cleaning. No sealing, oiling, waxing, or specialist treatments are ever needed. The matte, textured surface is particularly good at hiding fingerprints and watermarks, which means it looks consistently clean with minimal effort. It is one of the most low-maintenance worktop materials available.
Can Laminam Slate Ankara worktops include an undermount sink?
Yes — In2stone routinely fabricates Laminam worktops with precise cutouts for undermount sinks. The edge around the sink opening is carefully polished and sealed, and the worktop is supported to ensure structural integrity around the opening. Undermount sinks pair particularly well with Slate Ankara because the continuous surface flows uninterrupted to the sink edge, emphasising the stone's natural 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!"
