Gulf Leaf Quartz

Origin & Technical Profile

Origin: Manufactured in China and imported by FB Marble.

What the slab looks like: A dark charcoal-black base with a leafy grey textured pattern.

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 Gulf Leaf Quartz

The look: Gulf Leaf Quartz has a dark charcoal-black base with a leafy grey textured pattern. A moody texture for bathroom walls and spa areas.

Living with the pattern: Because Gulf Leaf 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: Kitchen islands, bar and coffee counters, statement vanities and feature walls.

What goes with Gulf Leaf Quartz:

• White or cream cabinets for strong contrast
• Warm wood cabinets for a richer, darker kitchen
• Gold or brass fittings, which stand out well against black
• Good under-cabinet lighting, since dark tops make a counter feel darker
