Dot Visiting our High Wycombe Slab Centre

As part of her journey to create the perfect kitchen, Dot began by visiting our High Wycombe slab centre to explore the best material for her worktops. She envisioned something bold and daring—a standout feature that would immediately captivate guests as they entered her home.

Initially, Dot had one quartz in mind, but the moment she stepped into our slab centre, she was spoiled for choice. With over 22 full-sized quartz slabs on display, she had the opportunity to see, touch, and imagine each one in her dream kitchen. The decision ultimately came down to two contenders: Calacatta Gold quartz and Lyrica XHD quartz, both perfectly meeting her desire for a striking and functional centre-piece
