Dolomite is the white stone buyers turn to when they want the look of marble on a surface that takes more wear. It is a magnesium-rich carbonate stone, a little harder and denser than calcite marble, and it holds a polish well. We supply Turkish white and breccia dolomite as slabs, tiles and cut-to-size worktops, delivered duty-paid to UK yards and sites.
The range
White and breccia
White dolomite has a near-white ground with faint linear movement: clean and contemporary, for kitchens, bathrooms and large-format floors.
Breccia dolomite is made of white and soft-grey fragments that hide everyday wear. It suits floors, walls and vanity tops.
Shade varies from block to block, so every order is approved against a sample and photographs of the actual slabs.
Where it works
A white for the hard-working rooms.
- Kitchen worktops and islands: 2 or 3 cm slabs, cut and edged to the kitchen plan, with sink and hob cut-outs made at the factory.
- Bathrooms: vanity tops, shower walls, bath surrounds and floors.
- Interior floors: tiles or cut-to-size slabs for living areas, hallways and hospitality.
- Stairs, sills and cladding: treads, risers, window sills and interior wall panels.
Dolomite reacts to acids more slowly than calcite marble, but it is still a carbonate stone. Seal it after fitting and wipe up lemon juice, wine and vinegar promptly, as you would with marble.

Container loads
Stone loads by weight, not volume: a 20 ft container carries about 25 tonnes, so thickness sets how many square metres fit. Figures are approximate and confirmed line by line on every quotation.
| Thickness | Approx. m² per 20 ft container |
|---|---|
| 20 mm | ≈ 450 m² |
| 30 mm | ≈ 300 m² |
Supply
- Lead time: stock slabs about 2–3 weeks order-to-door, cut-to-order 5–6 weeks, bespoke 6–10 weeks; a firm window comes with every quote (trade terms).
- Samples: a sample goes out with the quotation, and before shipping we send photographs and a slab list of the actual material allocated to your order.
- Delivery: delivered duty-paid to your yard or site and invoiced in GBP, or collected from our warehouse at the Port of Tilbury or the Port of Liverpool.

Common questions
Dolomite: what UK buyers ask.
Is dolomite the same as marble?
They are close relatives. Both are carbonate stones, but dolomite is rich in magnesium, which makes it a little harder and denser than calcite marble and slower to etch. It is cut, polished and fitted the same way.
Is dolomite good for kitchen worktops?
Yes, it is one of the most popular white worktop stones. Seal it after fitting and wipe up acidic spills promptly; it resists etching better than most marbles but is not immune to it.
Is dolomite the same as quartzite?
No. Quartzite is a silica stone and is much harder. Some dolomites are sold as "soft quartzite"; we sell dolomite as dolomite, and test data is available on request.
Is there a minimum order for dolomite?
Orders run from project quantities to full 20ft containers; smaller orders travel by groupage. A single kitchen can be priced.
