The Stone Sales Team

Premium Thunder White Granite Worktops

We supplied Thunder White Granite, a popular choice for homeowners seeking a light, elegant, and durable natural stone worktop. This granite features:

  • Soft white background
  • Flowing grey veining
  • Subtle burgundy mineral accents
  • High-gloss polished finish

The polished surface enhances light reflection, making it ideal for both modern and traditional kitchens.

Why choose Granite?

  • Highly durable and heat resistant
  • Scratch resistant surface
  • Low maintenance
  • Timeless aesthetic
  • Adds value to your home

Bespoke Granite Fabrication & Cut-Outs

All worktops were templated and precision cut to ensure a flawless installation.

This project included:

  • Custom hob cut-out
  • Under-mounted sink cut-out for a seamless finish
  • Integrated draining grooves machined into the granite
  • Accurate tap hole cut-out
  • Polished bevelled edges for a refined profile

The bevelled edge detail adds subtle character while maintaining a clean, contemporary look.

Granite Peninsula with Curved End & Seating Overhang

A standout feature of this kitchen is the bespoke curved granite peninsula. The dramatic curved end softens the overall layout and creates a natural focal point within the space.

The extended granite overhang for seating transforms the peninsula into a functional breakfast bar — ideal for entertaining, dining, or everyday family use.

Curved granite fabrication requires specialist expertise, ensuring structural integrity while achieving a perfectly smooth finish.

Matching Granite Upstands & Window Sills

To complete the installation, we supplied:

  • Matching granite upstands
  • Bespoke Thunder White Granite window sills

The upstands provide practical splash protection while maintaining a clean, streamlined appearance. The matching window sills ensure full design continuity, creating a cohesive, high-end finish throughout the kitchen.

If you’re planning a new kitchen or updating your existing space, Stone Sales offers a specially chosen range of Marbles, Granites and Quartzes giving the perfect combination of natural beauty, strength, and timeless appeal. From bespoke curved peninsulas to precision sink and hob cut-outs, matching upstands and window sills, every detail can be tailored to create a truly seamless finish.
