Scratches
Porcelain is highly scratch resistant but not scratch proof.
Staining
Porcelain worktops are incredibly hard and non-porous and will not absorb liquids, but it is still possible that grease, wine, coffee, nicotine, fruit juices and other strongly coloured substances can stain the surface if not properly protected or if the spills are not cleaned up immediately.
Hygienic
Porcelain worktops are naturally hygienic as they are non-porous.

Neolith Calatorao
Calatorao is a distinctive, fine-grained limestone which has been hew from the world-famous quarries of Zaragoza, Spain, for over 2000 years. An ancient stone with a rich history of use across the Iberian Peninsula, from Baroque churches and town square cobbling to highly-polished flooring and interior walls, Neolith has faithfully captured Calatarao's lustrous golden veining and intensely dark grey colour which characterises the stone. It was a favourite stone of the celebrated Spanish sculptor Juan de Ávalos, who used it extensively throughout his distinguished career. Calatorao has a timeless appeal, adding a touch of Aragonese finesse to any commercial or residential space.
Neolith is impermeable, highly resistant to stains, scratches, bending and Ultra-Violet rays. It is also easy to clean and hygienic.

Colours and Pattern Variations
Important Disclaimer
Materials such as quartz, sintered porcelain, terrazzo, and solid surface may display natural or production-related variations in colour, tone, pattern, and surface characteristics. These variations are inherent to the material and may differ between batches.
Please note that images shown on our website are for illustrative purposes only. While they offer a general indication of pattern and colour, actual appearance can vary due to screen settings and batch-specific differences.
Customers are encouraged to carry out their own due diligence prior to purchase. No guarantee can be made that a sample, online image, or unreserved slab will exactly match the final product or any existing installation. Whenever possible, we recommend viewing and reserving specific slabs in person and referring to individual product pages for additional information or supplier documentation.

Edge DETAILS
Enhance the finish of your porcelain worktop with our precision-crafted edge profiles. Designed to complement both modern and traditional interiors, our edge details add a stylish look while maintaining the durability and hygiene benefits.
Each edge is expertly fabricated to ensure a smooth, long-lasting finish.
Return End Styles
Return ends are custom-shaped finishes applied to the exposed edges of the worktop. They’re designed to provide a polished, continuous look where the surface terminates—whether against a wall, cabinet, or open space.
Each return style serves a specific purpose, from creating standout design features to accommodating architectural details or practical use cases. Whether you're planning a flowing curved end, a distinctive break front, or precision notching for cabinetry, these return styles ensure a tailored, high-quality finish.
Explore the full range below to find the perfect return style for your project.
Upstands
Upstands are an essential element for achieving a refined and practical finish where your worktop meets the wall, offering protection against splashes and spills while creating a seamless transition between horizontal and vertical planes. Square upstands provide a sharp, modern look with a defined 90° junction, and are fixed on-site using special glue or silicone. Fabricated to exacting standards to ensure a good match with your worktop. However, it’s important to note that upstands are made in a straight line, and any imperfections or large variations in the wall profile can leave gaps, which will need to be filled with decorators’ caulk. To achieve the best result, plastering or tiling should be completed after the worktops have been installed, ensuring a polished, professional finish.
Cutouts & Drainer Grooves
Custom cutouts and drainer grooves add both functionality and finesse to your solid surface worktop. Whether you're integrating sinks, hobs, tap holes, or pop-up sockets, each cutout is precisely machined to suit your specifications and seamlessly finished to match the surrounding surface.
Drainer grooves can be added for both style and practicality—angled or flat, they channel water efficiently back into the sink while enhancing the clean, bespoke look of your kitchen or utility space. Every detail is carefully crafted to maintain the durability, hygiene, and elegance of your worktop.
Technical Information
Overhangs and End Panels
Overhangs must be supported every 600mm if over the manufacturers warranty threshold.
Maximum recommended overhang:
- For 12mm material: 250mm. Greater than 250mm requires steel support.
- For 20mm material: 500mm. Greater than 500mm requires steel support.
Due to the weight of the worktops, it is essential that your units are level and securely fixed.
Sinks
A minimum of 70mm is required between sink cut-outs.
If a waste disposal unit is fitted to an undermounted sink after installation, additional support will be required, otherwise your warranty may be invalidated.
Hobs and Splashbacks
Splash backs or wall cladding are installed with a minimum 50mm gap behind an electric hob and a minimum 100mm gap behind a gas hob. There must also be a minimum 50mm gap from the cutout to the front of the worktop. To accommodate these requirements, it is sometimes necessary to widen the worktop to what is called a “breakfront.”
- Sink cutouts are placed a minimum 50mm from the worktop front edge
- A minimum of 120mm is required between two hob cutouts
- A minimum of 100mm is required between hob and sink cutouts
- A minimum of 70mm is required between two sink cutouts
- If a waste disposal unit is fitted to an undermounted sink after installation, additional support will be required, otherwise your warranty may be invalidated
