Blue Roma

from Brazil to Berkshire

If you're looking for a natural stone that is durable and resistant to attack by household and other chemicals, quartzite is the perfect choice.  It can be used in various applications, both indoors and outdoors.

Blue Roma quartzite from Brazil has all these qualities and is also strikingly beautiful; bringing a touch of drama when used for bathroom vanity tops or shower cladding, or as an island worktop such as the one we produced for this house in Newbury Berkshire.

We fabricated the large worktop so that the patterning was unbroken, flowing continuously from one edge to the other, in spite of the two structural columns that had to be incorporated into the middle.

The stone has a cool blue-grey colour with bold brown, white and gold veins, giving any room in which it is used the wow factor.
