Fish Belly
Description
Fish Belly is an engineered quartz surface with a soft white base with bold diagonal grey-brown streaks.
Supplied as jumbo 3200 × 1600 mm slabs, ideal for waterfall islands where the streaks wrap over the edge.
Fish Belly is stocked as 3200mm x 1600mm slabs, 18mm thick, with a polished finish.
Origin & Technical Profile
Origin: An imported engineered slab stocked by FB Marble in Lahore.
What the slab looks like: A soft white base with bold diagonal grey-brown streaks.
| Material | Engineered stone: crushed quartz bound with polymer resin and pigment |
|---|---|
| Country of origin | Imported |
| Finish | Polished |
| Thickness | 18mm |
| Slab size | 3200mm x 1600mm |
| Composition | Roughly 90–93% quartz aggregate, the rest resin and pigment |
| Density | About 2.3 – 2.4 g/cm³ |
| Water absorption | Near zero (typically ≤ 0.05%) — no sealing needed |
| Hardness | About 7 Mohs (quartz aggregate) |
| Heat | Resin can scorch above ~150 °C — always use a trivet |
| Outdoor use | Not recommended — strong UV can yellow the resin |
| Fabrication | Cut wet only: dry-cutting quartz releases crystalline silica dust |
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 Fish Belly
The look: Fish Belly has a soft white base with bold diagonal grey-brown streaks. Supplied as jumbo 3200 × 1600 mm slabs, ideal for waterfall islands where the streaks wrap over the edge.
Living with the pattern: Because Fish Belly 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: Kitchen islands and counters, waterfall edges, vanities and wall panels behind a bed or TV.
What goes with Fish Belly:
- White, light grey or sage-green cabinets for a soft marble look
- Dark walnut or matt black cabinets when you want the veins to stand out
- Brushed gold or matt black taps and handles, picked to match the vein colour
- Plain walls and floors, so the veining stays the main feature
Similar quartz colours
- Panda White Bookmatch: bookmatch white quartz with bold diagonal black veins.
- Majestic Grey Quartz: white quartz with fine light-grey veining.
- Antique White Quartz: off-white quartz with soft grey-lilac wisps.
- Calacatta Wave: white quartz with soft flowing grey wave veins.
Compare with real white marble: Natural white marble has its own one-off veining but is softer and needs sealing; quartz gives a similar look that does not stain from haldi, oil or tea. See real white marble colours and rates.
