luxurious design
the beauty of quartz
M-Stone takes quartz worksurfaces to a new level, combining luxurious looks, excellent performance and affordability. M-Stone is completely different to any other quartz worksurface around in that it offers fast and easy installation in your home, dramatically reducing both costs and waiting time for you. And the results are outstandingly beautiful. Cool to the touch, M-Stone is a unique blend of natural quartz stone particles and resin, giving you a material that is technically advanced compared to stone and granite. This is a material with its own character and composition and a wide range of benefits. It’s high performance, whilst being low maintenance. Highly resistant to stains, scratches and impact, it can cope easily in the hardest working kitchens without being a chore to keep clean. M-Stone is guaranteed for 10 years giving you the assurance of long lasting quality. Exquisite to look at, M-Stone is available in a perfectly formed palette of four highly popular colours: black, white, cream and brown. These are chosen for their design versatility and will grace any contemporary, modern or traditional style of kitchen. The material offers superb design freedom for shaped corners, breakfast bars and any style of sink can be fitted into the worksurface. And there are upstands and splashbacks for those all-important finishing touches. Front cover: M-Stone White worksurface. Shown with a single bowl undermount sink.

luxury for less
You’ll be surprised how affordable our M-Stone product can be. M-Stone is different to any other quartz product because it’s a ready-made component which can be fitted from start to finish on site. It dramatically reduces installation time and cost. So there’ll be something left over for a bottle of bubbly. Stand back, admire and toast the lovely end result.
design freedom
Classic or contemporary, M-Stone offers the design freedom for any style of kitchen you desire. The versatile character of our material means that it can be precisely machined on site, allowing curves, shapes and drainer grooves to be created with ease. Any style of sink, be it Belfast, inset or undermount can be fitted too. There’s also matching upstands and splashbacks for simple but lovely finishing touches. There’s no quicker way to a beautiful quartz worksurface in your home. There’s no templating or waiting. You get exactly the design you want, with the assurance of a professional, long-lasting fit.

tough and beautiful
Tough and beautiful, you can be sure M-Stone will be one of the hardest working parts of your kitchen. The 25mm solid material is a unique composition of natural quartz and resin. It offers exceptional strength and superior resistance to stains, scratches and impact. Hygienic and non-porous, it will repel staining from everyday spills including coffee, wine, lemon juice or olive oil.

Practical. Beautiful. Easy.

Quality
Care & Maintenance
Bushboard’s unique M-Stone worksurfaces are made from a blend of quartz stone particles and modified resins, fused together to create a 25mm solid material.
M-Stone quartz offers scratch and scuff resistance at levels far in excess of high pressure laminate and solid surface. However, bear in mind that it’s possible to scratch all worktops, even natural granite or quartz. So please continue to protect your surfaces. Although they are rare, scratches are not easily removed, so always use chopping boards and avoid dragging items across the surface. Any scratches will be less discernible on pale colours and more obvious on darker ones.
M-Stone has been independently tested at FIRA, (the Furniture Industry Research Association) for impact, heat and stain resistance. Additional testing has been carried out at CERAM, to establish the surface hardness performance against the Mohs scale and certifies that M-Stone’s performance characteristics match those of the leading quartz products on the market today. M-Stone is manufactured from natural quartz particles which means on occasion colour may vary slightly between components. When jointing two worksurfaces the prefinished bevelled edges form a neat v-groove detail. (See opposite)
10 year Guarantee Your M-Stone worksurface has a 10 year guarantee. Bushboard will make good by repair and/or replacement (at its discretion) any M-Stone product of its manufacture which can be shown to have failed by reasons of defects in its manufacture, subject to fair wear and tear, provided the product has been installed and used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and the products are used for their intended purpose and application. We strongly recommend that M-Stone is fitted by an installer who has attended one of our training courses. For the warranty to be valid, the installer must be able to evidence that our bespoke Installation Kit has been used. Proof of date and place of purchase is required. The guarantee is in addition to your statutory rights as a consumer and does not affect your rights in any way.
To keep your worksurface clean, wipe down with water and a mild detergent, then rinse with clean water and gently buff the surface dry. Once a week, apply our Professional Worktop Polish, supplied with our After Care Kit available from your retailer or by order from our Customer Service Team on 01933 232272.
Easy Installation Whilst the M-Stone installation process is straight forward, it is not a DIY product. It requires specialist equipment and tooling, and so should always be fitted by an experienced kitchen installer, preferably one who has attended one of our training courses. Please ask your retailer about this.

Unlike natural stone surfaces, M-Stone is designed to be fitted on-site by your kitchen installer, dramatically reducing costs and delay. Full instructions are available by calling 01933 232 272 or as a download from www.bushboard.co.uk The following kits are needed to ensure a professional installation. Standard installation kit for all installations – for straight cut edges and inset sinks* Router installation kit complements the standard kit – for curved edges, undermount sinks, Belfast sinks and drainer grooves. Sink clip kit for use with stainless steel undermount sinks only * We recommend a plunge saw is used to cut M-Stone and installers will need to source a semi-continuous diamond turbo saw blade.
