3 Production Sites in Guangdong, China · 10,000+ m² Slabs in Ready Stock · Factory-Direct Export
Blue quartz countertops are a project colour: blue is a base we mostly press to order rather than hold in stock (a few slabs are often on hand, so ask us to check), because demand comes in project runs — a hotel bar, a showroom counter, a bathroom floor — rather than one kitchen at a time. Note the difference between a blue base and blue veining: a white slab with blue-grey veins belongs in the White collection, while the designs here are blue through the ground. Tell us the shade you are matching, the quantity and the thickness and we will confirm what can be pressed and the lead time; production runs about 30 days from confirmation. Sizes are 3200 × 1600 mm or custom, 15, 20, 25 and 30 mm.
Blue is a specification decision, not a default. It appears where the kitchen has a colour scheme rather than a neutral one — navy or sage cabinetry, brass fittings, a period property being renovated rather than a new build. In those rooms a grey worktop looks like an omission and a blue one finishes the scheme.
We press a small set of blue designs, from a pale grey-blue that reads almost as a cool grey through to a deep navy with white fracture lines. The number is small because the demand is specification-led rather than volume-led; what fills the gap is that we can press to a colour reference from one container.
| Check | Why |
|---|---|
| Lighting | Blue shifts more than any neutral between cool showroom light and warm kitchen light. A slab approved under 4000K can read grey under 2700K |
| Cabinet colour | Blue against blue needs a clear step in tone or the two fight. Against wood or white it is straightforward |
| Size of the run | A strong colour over a large uninterrupted area reads much heavier than it does on a sample. On a long run consider the paler designs |
| Resale | Worth saying to a client who plans to sell: a strong worktop colour narrows the buyer pool. It is their call, but they should make it knowingly |
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Material | Engineered quartz, 93% natural quartz; some designs in porcelain |
| Slab size | 3200 × 1600 mm, or custom sizes pressed within that range |
| Thickness | 15, 20, 25 and 30 mm; 20 mm is the most common for export |
| Finish | Polished and honed; matt to order and usually better on the deeper tones |
| Custom colour | Pressed to a Pantone, RAL or physical sample from one container; recipe held for later phases |
| Hardness / absorption | Mohs 6–7 / within 0.04% on the quartz designs, no sealing |
| Minimum order | Stock slabs: 1 slab, check stock with us. Pressed to order: one container, up to five colours, thicknesses can be mixed. Cut countertops: no minimum, but freight on small lots is high |
| Lead time | Stock colours 7 to 15 days; pressed to order 30 days |
Yes. We press to a colour reference, whether a Pantone, a RAL or a physical sample, as a made-to-order run, ready in about 30 days. For blue project work we usually recommend this route over the standard range. We hold the recipe for later phases, but a later batch can differ slightly in shade, so order each phase in full.
Not indoors. Under direct sunlight over years, resin-based surfaces can shift, which is why we do not recommend engineered quartz outdoors in any colour. For an outdoor kitchen or bar, porcelain is the correct material, and we make blue designs in porcelain too, such as a pale blue and a blue quartzite look.
About as much as a dark grey. Mid and dark blues hide crumbs but show dust and water spots, while the pale grey-blue behaves more like a cool grey. That is why a matt finish, made to order alongside the standard polished and honed, is usually the better specification on the deeper blue designs, especially on a bar top under downlights.
Bars, showroom counters and bathrooms suit it better than a full kitchen: we usually suggest blue for one project piece, such as a hotel bar, a showroom counter or a bathroom floor, rather than a whole kitchen. In a kitchen it works best as an island against pale wood, off-white or warm grey cabinetry. Check it under the client's own lighting first: a blue slab approved under 4000K can read grey under 2700K.
Yes. We press a small set of blue quartz designs, from a pale grey-blue that reads almost as a cool grey to a deep navy with white fracture lines, plus a white, blue and gold design. Blue is pressed to order in about 30 days, and we cut it to your drawings for bars, showroom counters and vanity tops.
Use blue where the room already has a colour scheme: navy or sage cabinetry, brass fittings, or a period property being renovated, where a grey top would look like an omission. Pale wood, off-white and warm greys are the easiest cabinet partners. Blue against blue needs a clear step in tone, blue against black loses the colour under kitchen lighting, and on a long run the paler designs read less heavy.
Blue is pressed to order: one container, which can mix up to five colours and different thicknesses, in about 30 days. We often have a few blue slabs in stock, such as GS2691 and GS2692, and those sell from one slab, so check stock with us first. Finished blue bar tops, counters and vanity tops cut to your drawings have no minimum order, though freight on a few pieces is high.
