The Stone

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

A warm cream quartz with grey-brown marble marbling — Mediterranean warmth and organic natural character.

Ortus departs from the cool-toned whites that dominate the Calacatta and Statuario end of the range, offering instead a warm cream base with grey-brown marbled veining and mottling that evokes Mediterranean stone. The surface has an earthy, organic quality — brown and taupe accents mix with grey veining to create a pattern that feels genuinely natural and inviting. The warm colour palette makes Ortus an ideal partner for timber cabinetry, natural oak flooring, and traditional kitchen designs where warmth and character are valued over crisp, contemporary coolness. The polished finish adds brightness without losing the stone's warm, lived-in quality. A superb choice for country-style kitchens and rustic-contemporary spaces.

Frequently Asked

Questions About Ortus

What veining colours does Ortus feature?
Ortus features a combination of grey and gold veining flowing across a white base. The grey provides the primary marble-effect structure while warm gold tones add richness and luxury throughout the veining formations. The two colours intertwine naturally, creating a multi-tonal marble character that is more complex and interesting than single-colour veining.
Is Ortus a warm or cool-toned surface?
Ortus sits between warm and cool — the grey veining provides cool marble character while the gold accents add noticeable warmth. This dual-tonal quality gives Ortus exceptional versatility: it can lean warm or cool depending on the surrounding design elements. In a kitchen with warm timber and brass, the gold tones dominate; in a kitchen with cool greys and chrome, the grey veining takes the lead.
How does Ortus compare to Calacatta Gold?
Both Ortus and Calacatta Gold feature grey and gold veining on white, but they differ in balance and intensity. Calacatta Gold is a more classic interpretation with the gold as a warm undertone enhancing the grey veining. Ortus presents the grey and gold as more equal partners — the gold is more visible and distinct, creating a richer multi-tonal effect with both colours clearly contributing to the overall pattern.
What design scheme suits Ortus?
Ortus is well suited to transitional kitchens that blend classic and contemporary elements. The marble-effect veining provides timeless appeal while the warm gold accents add a modern luxury touch. It works beautifully with mixed metal hardware — brushed gold handles with chrome taps, for example — and pairs well with both painted and natural timber cabinetry.
Is Ortus available in both 20mm and 30mm?
Yes, Ortus is available in both 20mm and 30mm thicknesses. The 30mm option provides a substantial, traditional marble-like depth that complements the classical veining pattern, while the 20mm gives a sleeker, more contemporary profile. The grey and gold veining runs throughout the full thickness of the slab in both options.
★★★★★
"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!"
