Arenastone is an Italian quartz brand which has been around in the UK market for many years. Certainly, we have installed a good number of Arenastone worktops over the years, although never quite as many as from other brands. Until recently, we would tend to say that they were a little bit behind the game on design and innovative flair. However, some of their recent marble-look materials have really hit the spot, and at a decent price band. Arenastone Calacatta Baleno is a case in point – a really lovely big-veined quartz.

Like all “quartz” in our industry, Arenastone is an engineered stone, made up of around 93% hard, mainly natural materials, held together with around 7% polymer resign, pigment etc. Arenastone is a good solid brand, and we have experienced very few issues installing it.
