The Stone

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

The most dramatic black quartz in the Compac range — intense, turbulent white veining storms across a deep black base with extraordinary contrast and movement.

Ice Max Black is the amplified counterpart to Ice Black, pushing drama and contrast to their absolute maximum. The deep black base explodes with intense, turbulent white and silver veining formations that flow across the slab in stormy, cloud-like patterns. Large flowing patches of white and grey create extraordinary visual movement against the dark background — each formation is bold, organic, and highly dynamic. The Ice Max collection uses larger format printing technology to increase the scale and complexity of the veining, producing slabs that feel genuinely monumental. Ice Max Black is designed for oversized kitchen islands, feature walls, and commercial installations where its theatrical presence commands attention. Despite its visual intensity, the surface remains completely practical — 93-95% natural quartz engineered in Spain by COMPAC makes it non-porous, stain-proof, and maintenance-free. NSF and Greenguard certified. The 25-year residential warranty provides total confidence for domestic installations.

Frequently Asked

Questions About Ice Max Black

What makes Ice Max Black different from Ice Black?
Ice Max Black takes the dark drama of Ice Black and amplifies it to the absolute maximum. The veining is bolder, thicker, and more intensely contrasted — heavy white veins slash dramatically across a deep black base with even greater theatrical impact. If Ice Black is confident, Ice Max Black is fearless.
Is Ice Max Black the most dramatic surface in the Compac range?
It is one of the most dramatic, competing with Unique Calacatta Black for that title. The difference is directional: Ice Max Black is a dark surface with white veining, while Unique Calacatta Black is a white surface with black veining. Both deliver maximum contrast, but from opposite starting points.
What room size works best for Ice Max Black?
While it performs stunningly in any size kitchen, Ice Max Black makes its greatest impact on large kitchen islands and generous worktop runs where the bold veining has room to flow uninterrupted. In smaller kitchens, it works best as a single dramatic feature — an island or bar top — balanced by lighter surroundings.
Does Ice Max Black hide daily kitchen mess?
The dark base hides crumbs and minor food debris exceptionally well. Water marks and fingerprints can be more visible on dark polished surfaces under certain lighting, but a quick wipe with a microfibre cloth resolves this instantly. Overall, many homeowners find dark surfaces easier to live with than white.
What worktop thickness is recommended for Ice Max Black?
For maximum visual impact, 30mm creates the most imposing, architectural presence — particularly on kitchen islands where the thick edge profile emphasises the premium quality of the surface. The 20mm option works well for perimeter worktops where a sleeker profile complements handleless cabinetry.
★★★★★
"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!"
