Why Choose Picasso Quartz for Your Kitchen?
Picasso is the ultimate choice for homeowners and interior designers who want their kitchen worktops to be a bold, artistic focal point rather than just a functional surface.
Artistic Veining
Picasso specialises in high-impact designs. Their Calacatta and Statuario ranges feature deep, dramatic and sweeping veins that perfectly capture the luxurious, organic flow of the world's most exclusive natural marbles.
Flawless Consistency
While natural marble is unpredictable and often contains unwanted mineral deposits, Picasso quartz provides total design control. The spectacular pattern you choose from our Stevenage showroom is exactly what will be installed in your home.
Jumbo Slab Formats
To ensure those dramatic veins flow beautifully across large spaces, many Picasso colours are available in jumbo slab sizes. This allows our stonemasons to create expansive islands and seamless splashbacks with minimal joints.
15-Year Warranty
Picasso stands firmly behind the durability of their artistic surfaces, offering a robust 15-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
Statement Design Meets Everyday Durability
A statement kitchen still needs to function flawlessly under the pressures of daily family life. Because Picasso quartz is manufactured under intense heat and pressure, the final slab is entirely non-porous. This means the stunning white background of your Calacatta worktop will naturally repel stains from red wine, coffee, spices and citrus juices. The surface requires absolutely no chemical sealing or specialist waxing, allowing you to maintain its pristine, hygienic finish with just a soft cloth and warm soapy water.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, it is arguably one of the best choices available. Because Picasso focuses heavily on bold, sweeping vein patterns, their slabs look spectacular when used on large, uninterrupted surfaces like a central kitchen island or a drop-down waterfall edge.
No. High-quality engineered surfaces like Picasso quartz use advanced, UV-stabilised resins during the manufacturing process. Provided the worktops are installed indoors and not exposed to extreme, direct outdoor weather conditions, the crisp white background will not yellow or fade over time.
Although the natural quartz minerals within the slab make it incredibly tough, you should never cut directly on the surface. Sharp steel knives can eventually dull the factory polish and leave metallic transfer marks on the stone. We always recommend using a standard chopping board to protect your 15-year warranty.
