Unistone quartz colours 2019 comprised five distinctive designs: Concreto, Nero Marquina, Pietra Grey, Bianco Eclipse and Safari. Together, they offered concrete, marble, quartzite and granite-inspired looks within an engineered quartz collection.
Importantly, this article records that 2019 launch rather than presenting the colours as new today. Since then, some designs, finishes or slab formats may have changed. Therefore, anyone planning a current project should confirm availability, dimensions and technical guidance before making a final selection.
Unistone develops engineered quartz surfaces using Breton technology. In particular, Unistone worktops combine mineral content with binders and pigments to create a consistent, non-porous surface. However, each of these five designs creates a notably different visual effect.
Unistone quartz colours 2019 at a glance
- Concreto: a tactile, concrete-inspired grey for industrial interiors.
- Nero Marquina: a dramatic black surface crossed by pale veins.
- Pietra Grey: a dark grey, marble-inspired design with fine white veining.
- Bianco Eclipse: a light quartzite effect with flowing grey veins.
- Safari: a white granite effect featuring brown, grey and beige detail.
Ultimately, the right option depends on the desired contrast, cabinetry, room lighting and scale of the installation. Moreover, a physical sample offers a more reliable guide than a screen because colour and pattern can look different under warm or cool lighting.
1. Unistone Concreto: a concrete-effect surface
Concreto brought the appearance of poured concrete or cement into the 2019 Unistone range. Consequently, its subdued grey colouring suits industrial kitchens, handleless cabinetry and schemes that mix timber with metal accents.
The original range information described a Velluto finish, which gave the surface a soft, tactile character. As a result, it could create a warmer impression than a stark polished grey. Additionally, the range promoted 20 mm and 30 mm thicknesses, although customers should verify current formats before specifying the material.
Unlike unsealed concrete, engineered quartz does not require routine sealing. Even so, non-porous does not mean indestructible. Therefore, a chopping board helps to prevent surface damage, while trivets protect the resin content from sudden or intense heat.
Concreto can work particularly well across an island and matching end panels. However, the fabricator must assess slab size, joins, support and edge details before confirming a wraparound arrangement.
2. Nero Marquina: black marble-inspired quartz
Nero Marquina combines a deep black background with contrasting pale veins. While the design takes its visual cue from Spanish Negro Marquina marble, engineered quartz provides a more consistent alternative for a busy interior.
The original 2019 information listed slabs measuring 3000 × 1400 mm and options in 20 mm or 30 mm thicknesses. Accordingly, these dimensions could accommodate worktops, table surfaces, splashbacks and bathroom applications, subject to fabrication requirements. Nevertheless, customers should always check slab formats and stock status when requesting a current quotation.
Unistone Nero Marquina creates strong contrast beside white, pale grey or natural timber cabinets. In addition, repeating the material on a splashback can produce a coordinated finish. However, pattern placement matters on larger areas, so customers should discuss vein direction and joins during templating.
3. Unistone Pietra Grey: restrained marble character
Unistone Pietra Grey interprets the appearance of Iranian Pietra Grey marble. Compared with the high contrast of Nero Marquina, its charcoal-grey background and narrow opaque-white veins create a quieter effect.
Natural Pietra Grey has long appealed to architects and interior designers. However, natural marble can etch when acids such as lemon juice or vinegar contact its surface. Furthermore, it can show geological variation and fissures. By comparison, quartz offers greater visual consistency and does not need sealing, which may make it more practical for households that want the look without typical marble care.
Pietra Grey works with light cabinet doors, warm timber and muted metallic details. For a cohesive scheme, it can also link a kitchen worktop with a utility or vanity area. Meanwhile, those comparing authentic stone with engineered alternatives may find MKW’s guide to marble and quartz differences useful.
4. Bianco Eclipse: a light quartzite effect
Bianco Eclipse was created to interpret the layered appearance associated with pale quartzite. Notably, it has a white-to-grey background with darker grey veining, making it the lightest strongly veined option among the five Unistone colours from 2019.
The restrained palette can brighten a room and complement dark, painted or timber cabinets. Meanwhile, the pronounced pattern adds movement across islands and long worktop runs. Therefore, customers should view a representative slab where possible, since a small sample cannot show the full distribution of veins.
The original article listed Unistone Bianco Eclipse in 20 mm and 30 mm thicknesses. It also recorded standard slabs of 3000 × 1400 mm and jumbo slabs of 3300 × 1600 mm. However, these historical specifications should not replace confirmation from the current supplier and fabricator.
Engineered quartz usually varies less than natural quartzite. Consequently, it can simplify coordination across several surfaces. Yet separate slabs may still differ, and joins remain visible to some degree. Therefore, MKW staff can advise on layout and quotation requirements after reviewing plans or measurements.
5. Unistone Safari: a white granite-inspired design
Safari has a white background scattered with brown, dark grey and beige markings. This quartz worktop echoes the granular character of natural granite worktops, but its pattern has the controlled appearance associated with an engineered surface.
Overall, the neutral mix makes Safari versatile. For example, its warmer flecks can connect cream or timber cabinets with grey flooring and stainless-steel appliances. In addition, the pattern can disguise light crumbs or minor marks more readily than a completely plain white surface.
Depending on their mineral structure, white natural stones can require careful sealing and stain management. By contrast, quartz does not need sealant. However, owners should still wipe spills promptly and avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
Visually, Safari’s pattern recalls pale ornamental granites, including the character associated with Bianco Ornamentale and Andromeda White. Like other quartz worktops, it offers a low-maintenance surface rather than a maintenance-free one.
Choosing between the 2019 Unistone quartz colours
First, consider the level of contrast. Nero Marquina makes the boldest statement, whereas Pietra Grey creates a softer dark surface. Meanwhile, Bianco Eclipse introduces flowing veins on a pale ground, while Safari uses smaller, distributed markings. Concreto, by comparison, suits projects that favour texture over stone-like veining.
Next, assess the whole room rather than the worktop alone. After all, cabinet colour, flooring, splashbacks and natural light all influence the finished result. For further guidance, the broader guide to choosing quartz worktop colours explains how these elements can work together.
Finally, plan practical details early. In particular, sink and hob cut-outs, overhangs, upstands, edge profiles and access to the property can affect fabrication and installation. Those still comparing materials can therefore consult MKW’s guide to choosing kitchen worktops before requesting a tailored quote.
Care guidance for Unistone quartz designs
- First, clean routine spills with a soft cloth, warm water and a suitable mild cleaner.
- Additionally, use chopping boards rather than cutting directly on the surface.
- Similarly, place hot cookware on a trivet instead of the worktop.
- Furthermore, avoid highly abrasive pads and aggressive chemicals.
- Finally, follow the current manufacturer or supplier instructions for stubborn marks.
Together, these steps help preserve the finish, regardless of colour. In particular, dark polished surfaces may show fingerprints or limescale more readily, while very pale surfaces make some spills easier to notice.
FAQs about Unistone quartz colours 2019
Are these Unistone colours still available?
This article documents a 2019 collection. Consequently, MKW does not assume that every colour, finish or slab size remains available. Customers should therefore request a current stock and specification check before planning their project around one design.
Do Unistone quartz worktops need sealing?
Engineered quartz does not normally require sealing. Nevertheless, it still benefits from prompt cleaning, chopping boards and protection from hot cookware.
Which design suits a light kitchen?
Bianco Eclipse and Safari both offer pale backgrounds. However, Pietra Grey or Nero Marquina can provide effective contrast in a bright room. Therefore, customers should view samples beside the chosen cabinetry and under the room’s actual lighting.
Can these surfaces be used beyond kitchen worktops?
Depending on current technical guidance and fabrication requirements, quartz can suit splashbacks, islands, vanity tops and some wall applications. However, a fabricator should assess support, cut-outs, joins and exposure conditions for each project.
Requesting a quote for a current project
Overall, the five Unistone quartz colours from 2019 covered a useful range of interior styles, from industrial concrete to dramatic marble effects. However, a successful specification also depends on current stock, slab condition, layout and installation requirements.
Therefore, MKW staff can review project dimensions, preferred finishes and design priorities before preparing a quote. Moreover, providing a plan, approximate measurements and photographs at the outset will help the team assess the work more accurately.
