The Stone
See the natural beauty of Carrara Extra up close — the surface texture, colour depth, and veining that make this quartz unique.
Clean off-white quartz with soft grey Carrara-style veining — a classic, understated marble-effect surface.
BQS Carrara Extra delivers the timeless appeal of Italian Carrara marble through the dependable performance of engineered quartz. Its clean off-white base is crossed by moderate to dense veining in soft, light grey with cool undertones. The veins are predominantly fine and thread-like, randomly distributed across the surface, occasionally broadening into more diffused, cloud-like formations that add a sense of natural softness. This is a surface for those who want classic marble character without the maintenance demands of the real thing. The polished finish gives it a subtle sheen that catches the light, while the absence of any speckling or granular texture keeps the look clean and refined. Carrara Extra works across virtually every kitchen style — from traditional shaker to sleek contemporary. Engineered from 93% natural quartz by Brachot, non-porous, and requiring no sealing. Available in jumbo 3200 × 1600mm slabs with 20mm or 30mm thicknesses. Supplied and installed by In2Stone across Hampshire.

"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
