Carlos Grey Quartz

Origin & Technical Profile

Origin: Manufactured in China and imported by FB Marble.

What the slab looks like: A pale aqua-grey near-solid with soft mottling.

Practical note: Daily cleaning with mild soap is enough; avoid oven cleaner, paint stripper and other strong solvents that attack the resin.

Technical figures are typical values for this type of material; colour can shift slightly between production batches, so match slabs from the same batch.

Choosing Carlos Grey Quartz

The look: Carlos Grey Quartz has a pale aqua-grey near-solid with soft mottling. Shown on stair treads in our photos — use a matching bullnose or mitred nosing for steps.

Living with the pattern: Because Carlos Grey Quartz is veined, ask to see the full slab before cutting: the veins should run the same way across joints and around corners. A bookmatched or vein-matched layout costs a little more slab but looks far better on islands and walls.

Where it works best: Modern kitchens, bathroom vanities, wall cladding and office reception counters.

What goes with Carlos Grey Quartz:

• White or light-grey cabinets for a soft, modern look
• Charcoal or black cabinets for a darker, contrast kitchen
• Matt black or gunmetal taps and handles
• Concrete-look or plain white floor tiles
