Bold Black Stone Style For Contemporary Kitchens

Make a statement with the Howdens Onyx Blackstone Effect Laminate Kitchen Worktop. Designed to replicate the luxurious appearance of natural black stone, this premium laminate worktop features rich charcoal and black tones with realistic stone detailing, creating a sophisticated finish for contemporary kitchens.

Available in 3m and 3.6m lengths, its traditional bullnose edge profile combines timeless styling with exceptional practicality, making it ideal for both modern and classic kitchen designs.

Premium Onyx Blackstone Finish

Inspired by natural black stone, the Onyx Blackstone décor features deep, rich colouring with subtle stone texture for an elegant, high-end appearance.

The dark finish creates a striking contrast against white, cashmere, oak, walnut and light grey cabinets while also complementing darker colour schemes for a dramatic contemporary look.

Unlike natural stone, the laminate surface requires no sealing and is easy to clean.

Built For Everyday Living

Manufactured using a durable laminate surface bonded to a moisture-resistant chipboard core, this worktop is designed for everyday family life.

Available in both 3000mm and 3600mm lengths, it offers greater flexibility for larger kitchen layouts while helping reduce the number of joins for a cleaner, more seamless installation.
