CRL Quartz

CRL Quartz combines the beauty of stone with the durability and practicality needed to meet the demands of everyday living. Available in a comprehensive range of colours and finishes, CRL Quartz worktops provide a versatile design solution for kitchens, bathrooms and other residential or commercial interiors.

Created from engineered quartz, CRL stone offers the sophisticated aesthetic of natural stone while delivering greater consistency in design, colour and pattern. From understated surfaces inspired by marble and granite to contemporary shades created for modern spaces, the CRL Quartz collection makes it easy to find a surface that complements your interior.

Due to being hard-wearing, non-porous, and easy to maintain, CRL Quartz surfaces are designed for spaces that need to look beautiful without becoming difficult to live with.

CRL Quartz is an engineered stone surface designed to combine natural beauty with practicality. Quartz surfaces are manufactured using natural quartz with carefully selected resins and other materials to create a dense, durable surface suitable for a wide variety of applications.

Unlike natural materials such as marble and granite, where every slab has natural differences, engineered quartz can provide a much greater consistency in design. This makes CRL Stone useful when working across large spaces or projects where a consistent colour, pattern or aesthetic is paramount.

The material's versatility also means CRL Quartz is suitable for more than kitchen worktops. Depending on the requirements of your project, quartz can be used in bathrooms, wall cladding and a variety of both residential and commercial interiors.

It also comes with a choice of thicknesses, colours and finishes. CRL Quartz provides homeowners, designers and architects with a flexible design solution for any project.

A kitchen worktop has to do considerably more than just look good. It is one of the most heavily used surfaces in the home and needs to deal with everything from food preparation and grease to spills, stains and the demands of everyday family life.

CRL Quartz worktops have been developed with this required level of practicality in mind. Their hard-wearing surface offers excellent durability, while the non-porous nature of quartz makes day-to-day maintenance extremely straightforward.

Unlike many natural stone surfaces, quartz does not need to be regularly sealed. Its low-porosity surface also makes it highly stain-resistant, helping prevent liquids and everyday spills from penetrating into the material.

Cleaning is equally straightforward. For general maintenance, warm soapy water or a mild detergent is normally enough to keep the surface looking its best. This combination of low maintenance and durability is one of the main reasons quartz worktops have become such a popular choice with UK homeowners.

Quartz is also resistant to scratches, heat and potential staining encountered through normal kitchen use. However, as with any premium worktop material, care should still be taken to prevent any form of damage. Chopping boards should be used over cutting directly on the surface, while trivets are recommended for very hot cookware rather than exposing the worktop to sudden or excessive heat.

While CRL Quartz worktops are particularly well suited to kitchens, the material's potential extends far beyond the kitchen worktop.

Its durability, non-porous construction and attractive appearance make CRL Quartz surfaces suitable for bathrooms and other areas where both appearance and practicality matter. Quartz can also provide an effective solution for wall cladding and statement interior features.

For commercial interiors, these characteristics become particularly valuable. CRL Quartz offers the visual appeal associated with premium stone alongside the consistency and durability required for surfaces used regularly in busy settings.

Whether you are renovating a family kitchen, creating a luxury bathroom or specifying surfaces for a larger commercial project, CRL Quartz offers the flexible design options needed to bring the space together.

The stone industry continues to evolve, with manufacturers introducing new technologies and materials to meet changing requirements. CRL has expanded its offering to include low silica surfaces, providing additional choice for designers, fabricators and homeowners.

These low silica options have been developed to retain the design versatility and practicality expected from contemporary engineered surfaces while reducing their crystalline silica content.

If low silica is an important consideration for your project, speak to The Stone Family team about the CRL surfaces currently available and the most appropriate material for your setting.

Choosing the perfect surface is only part of creating a high-quality finished worktop. The quality of the templating, fabrication and installation is just as important.

The Stone Family brings more than a century of stone industry experience to every project. Our family business spans four generations, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern stone fabrication techniques to produce worktops and surfaces crafted specifically for each space.

Based in Braintree, Essex, we work with homeowners, architects, designers and commercial clients to turn premium materials into beautifully finished installations. Our experience with quartz, marble, granite, Caesarstone and other stone materials means we can help you compare your options and easily find the right balance between aesthetics, durability, maintenance and budget.

We are also committed to more sustainable working practices, using precision cutting to minimise material waste alongside recycling and eco-conscious fabrication techniques wherever possible.

From choosing your CRL Quartz colour through to fabrication and final installation, our team can help make your next project a reality.
