1. It’s Elemental

   Wow! Just look what we’ve got arriving in our yard in Plymouth next week all the way from Brazil.  Titanium granite’s dramatic and absolute beauty comes from the contrast of the deep black background and the swirling white and gold veins. The organic beauty of this natural stone makes it an ideal centerpiece for any design project.  It really has to be seen to be appreciated, you are very welcome to visit us and see for yourself the difference having an exciting granite like this could make to your dream kitchen.  Don’t forget, our showroom is open every day of the week.

2. A Superior Stone

   What a beautiful kitchen! Our clients were delighted with their Imperial White granite worktops recently fitted.  This very understated granite is  a white stone with a pinkish hue and soft grey black flecks.  It is very naturally beautiful and one of the most unique granites available.  Our clients chose to accentuate the pink tones of the granite with glass splashbacks on the walls and to great effect as it really lifts the worktops and makes this kitchen very warm and welcoming.

   Hi Michaela,

    Surf Green – Brilliant !!

    Thanks to all of your team for all their efforts.

    It looks wonderful.  It really has finished off the kitchen.

    Worth the effort and trip to London.

    Thanks again.

   Another really satisfied client who made a special trip to London to select their perfect worktops.  Surf Green granite is a really unique stone, with beautiful shades of green, grey and soft rose colours it’s indescribably pretty. Thanks to our wonderful clients we are now able to add another stunning granite to our portfolio and they have a beautiful worktop to complement their beautiful kitchen which was made for them by Unique Kitchens by HIM of Tavistock.

   Plymouth Stone is doing its’ bit for St Lukes Hospice this Sunday 14th September.  Our energetic boss Rob Martin and our equally energetic fabricator Tom Routely are cycling 35 miles across the rugged terrain of Dartmoor braving snowstorms, hail, flash floods and extreme heat! (only kidding about the weather) all for charity.  I think our boys deserve a big round of applause.  let’s hope they and all taking part in this fun but challenging event raise much needed funds and awareness for a charity that does so much to help people with cancer.

    

5. Over the Moon!

   Beautiful Luna Eco Silestone quartz worktops

   Our clients from Plymouth really were over the moon with their new Silestone worktops in Eco Luna quartz.  The Eco range of Silestone  by Cosentino has been developed using 75% of recycled materials such as mirror, glass, porcelain, earthenware and vitrified ash.  These quartzstones embrace sustainability and are an ecological alternative to similar quartz surfaces.  Friendly to the environment in every way, even their manufacture complies with the high environmental standards demanded, proving you can be green with your worktops – or white! as is the case here.  The beautiful soft whites and creams of Luna Eco Silestone contrasts perfectly with the darker wood of the cabinets.  Our clients chose 20mm thickness over the traditional 30mm thickness for their worktops which gave the overall look a contemporary and sleek feel.  A perfect choice!

6. “I am at home among trees”

   As quoted in the Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R Tolkien.  Another person at home among trees but only in the metaphorical sense! a very special client who chose this unusual Silver Forest granite for her spacious and stunning kitchen.  For nearly a year our client has been waiting to put her vision into reality and with our help and Torben of Future Kitchens in Truro she has almost finished her dream kitchen.

   Silver Forest granite has beautiful waves of soft greys and touches of dusky pink.  The patterning is unique to each slab and so makes for a truly striking overall effect as you can see in this photo.

   There are still some finishing touches to add to the kitchen and I’m hoping more photographs will be winging their way to us so watch this space……..

7. A very satisfied client

   One happy customer!

   Mr and Mrs G from Plymouth have used granite in all their kitchens over the years. They chose Arctic Cream granite for their current home.  This striking  Brazilian granite with pearlescent quartz and a creamy white base  has small black mica lines criss crossing its’ surface.  It really is a spectacular granite and perfect for the cabinets chosen by our clients.  In fact, they were so pleased with their new granite worktops they were moved to write to us and tell us!

8. A new invention!

   It seems the hot weather is getting to everyone, man and beast.  Recently we were asked by a very caring animal lover if we had a spare piece of stone that she could use for her very fluffy rabbit Bonbon to sit on as he was finding the hot weather a bit too much!  So we offered this marble tile and as you can see from the photo Bonbon looks very happy and cool.  We’ve decided to name this new invention The Bunny Cooler – very original we thought.  Just goes to prove it’s not all about worktops for kitchens.

9. Cool Sophistication

   Azul Platino a beautiful granite  from Spain is a definition of cool sophistication. A combination of Mediterranean sky tones, water reflections and metallic crystals.  From the most traditional kitchen to the most contemporary  this unusual stone always makes a statement. A perfect complement to both painted and natural wood this wonderfully versatile granite also looks great with stainless steel and chrome.  Always available and always consistent this lovely granite never fails to please.  A new consignment has recently arrived in our yard so come up and take a look, the kettle is always hot and a warm welcome awaits!

    To celebrate this years world cup we welcome a very Brazilian addition to our yard.  Bianco Antique granite with its wonderful greys, whites and taupe colours will add a touch of class to any style of cabinet. A raspberry blush through the stone brings colour and life.  We have recently completed worktops for two very different kitchens in Bianco Antique granite and both clients are absolutely thrilled with the look.  Much prettier in the flesh, it is available to view now.  Do visit for a coffee and a chat and have a look at all the wonderful granites we have on offer.  I think we’ve definitely scored the wining goal with this one.
