Stone & Surfaces Show 2026 Recap — Three Days of Natural Beauty, Innovation & Connection

Stone & Surfaces Show 2026 Recap — Three Days of Natural Beauty, Innovation & Connection

May 15, 2026

We’ve just returned from an unforgettable three days at Stone & Surfaces Show 2026 at ExCeL London, and we want to share the highlights with you.

Booth G21 was alive with energy from opening to closing. We welcomed architects, designers, developers, fabricators, furniture makers, builders, contractors, and homeowners — each bringing unique projects and fresh perspectives.

The Undisputed Star: Semi-Precious Translucent Stone

Throughout the show, our semi-precious translucent collection drew the biggest crowds. Green Agate, Green Fluorite, and Pink Crystal were constantly photographed, touched, and discussed. Designers and furniture brands are actively specifying these for backlit feature walls, bar fronts, and luxury joinery — and we’re ready to meet that demand.

Natural Stone Continues to Inspire

Our curated selection of natural luxury stones — Taj Mahal Quartzite, Brazilian White Crystal with Gold Veins, Turkish Roman Travertine, Vanilla Onyx, and Verde Guatemala Marble — reminded everyone why nature remains the ultimate designer. The Calacatta Gold Marble Reception Table served as a stunning focal point, while the Cappuccino Marble Integrated Sink drew particular attention: UK visitors confirmed that marble integrated basins are exactly what the local market is looking for right now.

Quartz Innovation Alongside Nature

While natural stone is our heart, our engineered quartz offerings sparked equally strong interest. The full-body digital printed quartz range — including 7006 Taj Mahal Extra Quartz, 7018 Cristallo Extra Quartz, and 7019 Roman Travertine — impressed with its through-body veining and durability. Our zero-silica quartz (5063 Verona White Quartz) resonated deeply with architects and developers focused on healthier, fire-safe building materials.

Key Takeaways

  • Semi-precious translucent stone is a growing category with strong specification potential.

  • Integrated sinks are a confirmed trend in the UK market.

  • Full-body digital printed quartz and zero-silica formulations are the future of engineered surfaces.

  • The demand for customisation — from bespoke integrated basins to tailored slab sizes — is higher than ever.

Thank You, London

To everyone who visited Booth G21: thank you. Your enthusiasm, questions, and project visions inspire us to keep pushing forward. We’ll be following up on all sample requests and project enquiries shortly.

We can’t wait to see you at the next show. Until then, explore our collections online or get in touch with our team.

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is semi-precious translucent stone, and how can I use it?
A: It’s natural agate, fluorite, or crystal sliced into slabs that transmit light. Ideal for backlit feature walls, bar fronts, reception desks, countertops and luxury furniture. We offer Green Agate, Green Fluorite, Pink Crystal, and more.

Q2: Do you offer custom integrated sinks in marble or quartz?
A: Yes. We produce bespoke integrated sink solutions in both natural marble (e.g., Cappuccino Marble) and engineered quartz. Custom dimensions and finishes are available.

Q3: What is full-body digital printed quartz?
A: A quartz slab where the pattern runs through the entire thickness — not just on the surface. It uses high-temperature permeation transfer for fade-resistant, consistent appearance even after cutting and edge profiling.

Q4: Is zero-silica quartz really safer?
A: Yes. Our zero-silica formulation eliminates crystalline silica dust, reducing health risks for fabricators and improving indoor air quality for end-users. It also meets fire-safety requirements for commercial projects.

Q5: Can I order samples before placing a bulk order?
A: Absolutely. We encourage sampling. Contact us with your product codes (e.g., 7006, 7018, 5063) and we’ll arrange sample dispatch.

Q6: What’s the minimum order quantity?
A: MOQ varies by product and project type. For slab orders, container quantities are preferred. For custom integrated sinks, smaller volumes can be discussed.

Q7: Where do you ship to?
A: We ship globally, with extensive experience in the UK, European, North American, and Middle Eastern markets.
