About Raffaele
Raffaele belongs to the engineered quartz programme. Because the material is manufactured, it is non-porous and needs no sealing, ever. A soft neutral ground that carries warmth without becoming a colour in its own right, which makes it a safe choice across large areas.
Raffaele is engineered for the places where consistency matters more than natural variation: fitted kitchens, hotel bathrooms, reception desks and any specification that runs across multiple units and has to match. Keep it out of permanent direct sun, which the resin does not tolerate indefinitely.
Raffaele is available as jumbo slabs, standard slabs, countertops and vanity tops. Standard thicknesses are 12 mm, 15 mm, 20 mm and 30 mm, and other dimensions are cut to drawing. Every order is shade-graded before crating, which is what stops a delivery arriving as a patchwork.
Frequently asked
What sizes and thicknesses does Raffaele come in?
Standard thicknesses are 12 mm, 15 mm, 20 mm and 30 mm. Jumbo slabs u2014 320 u00d7 160 cm; Standard slabs u2014 306 u00d7 140 cm; Custom cut-to-size. Anything outside these is cut to your drawing.
Which finishes are available?
We supply Raffaele in Polished, Honed, Suede and Leathered. The right one depends on the application u2014 tell us where the stone is going and we will recommend rather than guess.
What is Raffaele best used for?
It is commonly specified for kitchen countertops, vanity tops, wall cladding, reception desks, table tops and flooring. Send us the drawing or describe the space and we will confirm whether it is the right material.
Does Raffaele vary between slabs?
Very little, and that is the point of an engineered surface. Raffaele is manufactured to a formula, so colour and pattern stay consistent between slabs and between production runs. It is the material to choose when an order has to match across many units.
Can Raffaele be used outdoors?
No. Engineered quartz is an interior material. The resin binder discolours under sustained ultraviolet light, so a permanently sun-exposed installation will shift in colour. For exterior work, use a granite.
How much maintenance does it need?
None beyond ordinary cleaning. The surface is non-porous, so it never needs sealing. Warm soapy water is enough. Avoid abrasive pads and do not put a hot pan straight onto it u2014 use a trivet, as resin does not like sudden heat.
Where is Raffaele quarried?
Quarry origin for this shade is confirmed at enquiry stage u2014 ask the export desk and we will tell you exactly where the block comes from.
Can I get a sample before ordering?
Yes. We send physical samples of any shade in the catalogue before you commit, and for larger orders we will photograph the actual slabs allocated to you prior to crating.
How is it packed for export?
Film wrapping, EPE foam between every surface, edge and corner protection, then heat-treated fumigated timber crates on moisture-resistant pallets. Loading is supervised and photographed before the container is sealed.
