About Cosmopolitan
Cosmopolitan is a manufactured quartz slab. It trades the unpredictability of natural stone for consistency, and for a surface that does not absorb liquids. Grey is the neutral that flatters almost every joinery colour, which is why it dominates commercial specification.
The surface is sealed by its own composition, so Cosmopolitan resists staining from wine, oil and coffee without any treatment. It suits worktops, splashbacks, vanity tops and interior cladding. Direct, sustained sunlight is the one condition to design around.
We supply Cosmopolitan as jumbo slabs, standard slabs, countertops and vanity tops, in 12 mm, 15 mm, 20 mm and 30 mm, finished to your specification. Slabs are graded for shade before packing so a single order ships as one visual lot, and cut-to-size components are measured against the approved drawing before they leave the floor.
Frequently asked
What sizes and thicknesses does Cosmopolitan 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 Cosmopolitan 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 Cosmopolitan best used for?
It is commonly specified for kitchen countertops, vanity tops, wall cladding, reception desks, table tops and flooring. If your application is not on that list, ask u2014 the answer is often yes, with the right finish.
Does Cosmopolitan vary between slabs?
Very little, and that is the point of an engineered surface. Cosmopolitan 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 Cosmopolitan 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 Cosmopolitan 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.
