Unistone Alaska White is a quartz stone that has long-lasting beauty. It is one of the most popular kitchen worktops because of its durability and resistance to staining. In addition, it is a robust surface perfect for high-traffic areas in the home. It is also easy to clean & maintain, making it a popular choice for busy families.
A non-absorbent Granite Design
Unistone Alaska White contains over 90% natural quartz and is 100% non-absorbent. It looks like Alaska White granite and is becoming increasingly popular for construction and home decoration. It is because Unistone Alaska White is more practical than white natural granite. Some of the most notable features of this stone include its resistance to staining and its ability to stay cool in hot weather.
Benefits of Unistone’s Alaska White Quartz
Alaska White quartz is a prevalent choice for modern kitchens and bathrooms. Architects and interior designers across London use it for its beauty, durability, and resistance to staining and scratching. Unistone Alaska White worktops are also prevalent as bathroom vanities and feature walls.
Our Alaska White quartz is also heat resistant, making it a good choice for fireplace surrounds and fire hearths. In addition, it is impervious to acids and coloured drinks, making it a good choice when you want some wine at night or coffee in the mornings.
Why Unistone Alaska White?
This white quartz worktop by Unistone is the only quartz replica of Alaska White granite on the market that ticks all safety boxes. Unistone is NSF certified, a Greenguard & Greenguard Gold Member, US Green Council Building, and has CE Markings from the European Commission.
In addition, you can choose Unistone Alaska White in thicknesses of 2 cm and 3cm and in polished and matte finishes, which aren’t available for the granite.
Advanced Technology
Being one of the top producers of quartz surfaces globally, the brand has six manufacturing lines that use BretonStone technology and employ cutting-edge methods and equipment. As a result, you can choose any Unistone colour, thickness and finish readily available for quick delivery.
Unistone makes its quartz by blending pure quartz with resins and pigments for resistance and colour stability. Then, it uses an industrial vacuum to suck out air particles from the slabs. As a result, it results in non-porous, antibacterial work surfaces with high resistance to heat, staining and scratches.

Unistone is a quartz surface, very similar to Silestone. Both of these brands offer comparable performance features and interchangeable characteristics.
When comparing Unistone vs Silestone, the most significant difference is the price. Silestone has a higher price range, making it more of a luxury product than Unistone. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that Silestone is of better quality; they are both high-end products.
Here are the three main differences between Unistone and Silestone
- Unistone's standard slab size is 300 x 140 cm. Conversely, Silestone's standard slab size is 306 x 140 cm
- Unistone's Jumbo slab size is 330 x 165 cm. A Silestone Jumbo slab size is 325 x 159 cm (an example of cost savings by purchasing less number of slabs for a project)
- Although both Unistone and Silestone offer 50 different designs, these differ across the two brands. Therefore you choose the material that best suits your style and budget, irrespective of the brand.
