The Stone

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

Colour:

White Grey Charcoal

Bright white quartz with diagonal mid-grey marble veining — a classic, composed marble-effect surface.

Sempre Brittanica delivers classic marble character through clean, confident veining on a bright white canvas. Prominent diagonal veining varies from fine thread-like lines to medium-bold branching patterns in distinct mid-grey with subtle darker charcoal accents. The veining is moderately dense, allowing the clean white base to remain dominant and the overall design to feel balanced rather than overwhelming. The polished finish has a very subtle fine granular texture visible on close inspection, adding a layer of tactile interest beneath the marble pattern. Brittanica occupies the comfortable middle ground between the understated subtlety of Bianco Carrara and the dense drama of Arabescato Gold. Manufactured by AKG Surfaces in the Sempre range with a 25-year warranty. Available in jumbo 3200 × 1600mm slabs with 20mm or 30mm thicknesses. Supplied and installed by In2Stone across Hampshire.

Frequently Asked

Questions About Brittanica

What does Sempre Brittanica look like?
Brittanica has a bright white base with prominent diagonal veining in mid-grey with subtle charcoal accents. The veins vary from fine threads to medium-bold branching patterns. The polished finish has a very subtle granular texture on close inspection. It's a classic marble-effect — balanced, confident, and moderately dramatic.
How does Brittanica compare to Bianco Carrara?
Both are white marble-effect designs with grey veining, but they differ in intensity. Bianco Carrara has softer, lighter grey veining with gentler contrast — it's understated and subtle. Brittanica has more defined, darker mid-grey veining with charcoal accents — it's bolder and more assertive. Bianco Carrara whispers; Brittanica speaks clearly.
What cabinetry suits Brittanica?
White or light grey cabinetry creates a seamless, cohesive marble kitchen. Dark charcoal or navy provides strong contrast that highlights the white worktop. The mid-grey veining connects well with chrome or brushed nickel hardware. For a warmer scheme, pale timber units add natural balance to the cool grey marble tones.
Is the veining consistent between slabs?
Engineered quartz offers much greater consistency than natural marble. While each Sempre slab has its own character, the overall pattern density, colour, and character are reliably consistent. This means you can plan your kitchen design with confidence, knowing the installed result will match what you've seen in samples.
What care does Brittanica need?
Simple daily care — wipe with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. The non-porous surface resists staining from all common kitchen substances. Always use trivets for hot pans, avoid harsh chemical cleaners, and don't expose to prolonged direct sunlight. Following these simple steps ensures the surface looks beautiful for decades.
★★★★★
"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!"
