Primordia by Caesarstone Quartz

Primordia is a light grey quartz material that comes in a rough concrete texture. It is supplied to Polish Granite by Caesarstone company specialising in stone slab production.

Why Primordia is the perfect material for stone kitchen worktops?

To this day, quartz remains one of our best-selling stone worktops products. It is nearly infallible, defined by near-indestructible properties, easy cleaning & maintenance, but above all exceptional beauty. Quartz is modern, stylish, sleek and perfectly slots into any environment, as though it naturally belongs there.

The light grey Primordia quartz worktops are incredibly sturdy and resistant to abrasion, cutting, staining and general wear and tear that impact other, weaker materials, like wood or laminate worktops. You may cut vegetables, fruit or meat directly on a quartz surface, forgoing the need for chopping boards. Even the sharpest of blades won’t scratch this durable stone.

The sleek quartz kitchen worktops are also completely waterproof. Since they are man-made products, they are imbued during the production process with special resins and agents that prevent all water absorption. Therefore, even if you leave a coffee, wine, grease or water spill over night, the worktop won’t soak any of it up, leaving the colour and pristine shine entirely unharmed.

Discolouration, chipping, and warping aren’t a threat to concrete effect & wavy & worn Primordia kitchen quartz worktops. These are products blessed with incredible longevity and unmatched durability. In essence, these tops are a one-off purchase that lasts a lifetime.

What thicknesses are available for Primordia?

The slabs of Primordia by Caesarstone are available in 20mm or 30mm thicknesses. This stone material depth is ideal for multiple applications. From big projects like kitchen worktops, paving, flooring & wall cladding to smaller installations of coffee tabletops, dining tables or windowsills. Surfaces of this depth are manufactured in bespoke fashion, tailor-made to complete even the most demanding projects.

What makes Primordia so unique?

Product colour description:

The light grey colour of Primordia by Caesarstone is without a doubt the most frequently purchased hue in our collection. This is today’s trend, after all. Grey spaces no longer evoke the feeling of industrial melancholy, instead elements like light grey kitchen worktops are implemented into modern architecture because they represent novelty and minimalism. A highly sought-out, attractive colour that instantly becomes the heart of any setting. And because of its deemed universality, it pairs with almost every type of cabinet, from white gloss, through to black matte or brown, classic raw wood.

Material structure & composition:

The concrete effect of Primordia is a one-of-a-kind composition. No other worktop material on the market (apart from concrete itself), can replicate and mimic the look of concrete as well as stone worktops. The usually greyish surface, with a worn feel and irregular pockmark effect make for a stunning foreground in contemporary kitchens that hold a raw, industrial, almost metallic vibe.

Material recommended for:

• Contemporary, minimalistic designs,
• Rough, industrial looking interiors,
• Kitchen islands + downstands.

Another ‘organic’ theme in our marble-look range is the wavy design, as displayed on Primordia. This pattern is distinguished by (as the name suggests), wave-like features that stream across the slab. Like dunes in the desert or undulating waves cleaning a sandy beach. This material is strongly recommended for lovers of peaceful, serene motifs as part of their home design.

Material recommended for:

• Flooring,
• Fireplace surrounds,
• Bathroom & utility room tops.

The worn effect, present on Primordia above, is reminiscent of rough, brushed materials like unpolished metal, stone or concrete. It’s a rugged style, filled with ‘bruised’ patches that appear scrubbed or worn-out. It’s made for lovers of hoarse, raw traits attributed to decorative resources. These materials fit well into modern kitchens known for inclusion of contrasting, polished, materials or those inclusive of wood, brick, slate, copper or iron elements.

Material recommended for:

• Kitchen worktops,
• Coffee table tops,
• Interiors rich in brick, slate, wood & copper.

What textures/finishes is this product supplied in?

The light grey Primordia comes in a ‘rough concrete’ finish. This is a heavily matte, almost pitted texture that feels entirely coarse to touch. You can sense hundreds of minute bumps as you run your fingers through this surface. Fans of the ‘industrial’, chafed feel (to match their contemporary kitchen design) will adore this stone and its idiosyncratic finish.
