The Stone

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

Colour:

Dark Grey Brown

A dark charcoal-brown porcelain with visible trowelled cement texture ??? industrial, tactile, and artisanal.

Urban Antracite sets itself apart from other concrete-effect surfaces through its clearly visible trowelled cement-plaster texture. Where most cement-effect porcelains are flat, this surface shows actual surface relief ??? sweeping trowel marks and raised texture that give it a handcrafted, artisanal quality. The colour is a warm dark charcoal-brown, sitting between deep grey and chocolate ??? richer and warmer than a cold anthracite. The combination of dark colour and visible texture creates a surface with genuine tactile interest. This is industrial material expressed with craftsmanship ??? raw concrete elevated to a design feature. Ideal for contemporary and industrial-style kitchens, trendy bar areas, and commercial spaces where the textured surface adds a layer of material authenticity that flat finishes cannot match.

Frequently Asked

Questions About Urban Antracite

Does Urban Antracite have actual visible texture on the surface?
Yes ??? this is what distinguishes the Urban collection. Urban Antracite has clearly visible trowelled cement-plaster marks that give the surface genuine tactile interest and artisanal character. Unlike smoother concrete-effect porcelains, you can see and feel the sweeping marks left by trowel application.
Is the colour of Urban Antracite a cool grey or warm?
Urban Antracite is a warm dark charcoal-brown ??? warmer and richer than a cold anthracite grey. It sits between deep grey and dark chocolate, giving it an earthy, industrial character that is inviting rather than cold. The warm brown undertone is a defining feature.
How does the trowelled texture handle daily kitchen use?
The textured surface is fully sealed during the porcelain firing process ??? it is not an open, rough texture that would trap food or dirt. The trowel marks add visual and tactile interest while remaining completely hygienic, non-porous, and easy to clean with a standard wipe.
What design styles pair best with Urban Antracite?
Urban Antracite excels in industrial-modern, urban loft, and contemporary rustic kitchens. Exposed brick, concrete walls, raw steel shelving, and natural timber all complement the artisanal cement character. It creates a kitchen that feels like a design studio or converted workshop ??? crafted, material, and intentional.
Can Urban Antracite be used alongside Urban Argento in the same kitchen?
Yes, and this is a popular pairing. Urban Antracite on the island with Urban Argento on a lighter back run creates a tonal contrast within the same texture family. Both share the distinctive trowelled cement character, so the surfaces feel cohesive despite the colour difference.
★★★★★
"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!"
