Contemporary Slate Style With Lasting Durability

Bring a bold, contemporary finish to your kitchen with the Howdens Pure Slate Effect Laminate Kitchen Worktop. Inspired by the natural beauty of slate, this premium laminate worktop combines rich charcoal tones with realistic stone detailing to create a sophisticated surface that's both stylish and practical.

Its modern square edge profile delivers clean, architectural lines, making it an excellent choice for contemporary, industrial and minimalist kitchen designs.

Authentic Slate Effect Finish

The Pure Slate décor recreates the subtle texture and natural variation of genuine slate, delivering the appearance of real stone without the cost, weight or ongoing maintenance.

Its dark neutral finish pairs perfectly with white, cashmere, oak, walnut, graphite and black kitchen cabinets, allowing it to complement a wide variety of interior styles.

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