Marquina Slab
Nero Marquina in sintered stone.
Marquina Slab
Marquina Slab is a premium sintered stone slab offering exceptional durability, heat resistance, and UV stability. Ideal for countertops, feature walls, and large-format flooring. Sintered stone combines the beauty of natural materials with the performance of advanced ceramics. Available at our Richmond showroom.
Marquina Slab pairs a deep black ground with luminous gold veining, the sintered stone take on Nero Marquina's celebrated contrast. Across the 48x110 inch panel the veining moves without repeating, so an island or feature wall reads like a single quarried block. Polished maximizes the shimmer of the gold; matte makes it smoulder quietly instead.
Sintered stone earns its place in hardworking rooms: fused minerals form a 6mm panel that resists heat, scratches and UV with zero porosity and zero sealing. Rated for indoor and outdoor use on countertops, walls and floors, it brings black and gold glamour to Metro Vancouver kitchens, bars and bathrooms without the etiquette real marble demands.

Where Marquina Slab Works
Luxury kitchen islands
Gold veining across a seamless 48x110 inch black top makes the island the jewellery of the kitchen, and the surface still tolerates hot pans and citrus without complaint.
Bar and entertainment walls
Behind a home bar or restaurant banquette, the black gold face catches evening light beautifully, and glass rings and spills wipe away from the non-porous surface.
Statement vanities
An ensuite vanity in Marquina character makes the daily routine feel considered, and cosmetics, perfumes and hot styling tools cannot mark or dull the sintered face.
Covered outdoor kitchens
The UV stability of sintered stone means the black stays black in daylight, extending the same glamorous finish to patio counters and grill surrounds under cover.
Design Notes
Pairing & Layout Ideas
Black and gold sets the palette for you: brass or gold tapware and pulls are the obvious echo, and they rarely disappoint here. Cabinetry in black keeps things sleek, while cream or ivory fronts soften the formality. On the floor, Cream LF or Blanco balance the darkness overhead. Resist adding a second veined surface nearby; Marquina works well as the only patterned material in the sightline, with everything else in solids.
FAQ
Marquina Slab Questions
Is the gold veining metallic?
The veining is part of the fired mineral surface, gold in colour with a warm luminosity, rather than an applied metallic coating. It will not tarnish or wear away, and its intensity shifts with the finish: brighter in polished, softer in matte.
What kitchens suit Marquina Slab?
It thrives where there is room to see it: island-centred kitchens, open plans, spaces with good lighting. In a small kitchen, consider using it on the island alone with quieter perimeter counters so the drama stays a single focal point.
How do I maintain the surface?
Warm water and a mild cleaner cover everything. There is no sealing schedule, no polish to reapply, and acids like lemon or vinegar cannot etch it, which is the main practical difference from the natural marble that inspired it.
Can I see the veining before purchase?
Yes, and you should: veining placement matters at this scale. The Richmond showroom displays the collection full size, so you can view how the gold moves across an entire 48x110 inch panel rather than judging from a corner sample.
