About Poetic Black
Poetic Black is an engineered quartz surface: roughly nine parts crushed natural quartz to one part resin and pigment, pressed and cured into a slab. A dark ground reads as deliberate and formal, and it is the most forgiving choice where a surface will be seen up close in strong light.
Because it is non-porous, Poetic Black does not stain the way a natural stone can, and it never needs sealing. That makes it the low-risk choice for kitchen worktops, vanity tops and high-traffic commercial surfaces. It is not intended for permanent outdoor exposure u2014 sustained ultraviolet light discolours the resin binder over time.
We supply Poetic Black 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 Poetic Black 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; Cut-to-size fabrication. Anything outside these is cut to your drawing.
Which finishes are available?
We supply Poetic Black in Polished, Honed, Suede and Concrete. The right one depends on the application u2014 tell us where the stone is going and we will recommend rather than guess.
What is Poetic Black best used for?
It is commonly specified for kitchen countertops, vanity tops, commercial worktops, wall cladding and reception desks. Send us the drawing or describe the space and we will confirm whether it is the right material.
Does Poetic Black vary between slabs?
Very little, and that is the point of an engineered surface. Poetic Black 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 Poetic Black 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 Poetic Black quarried?
Engineered u2014 manufactured to order
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.
