Description

A black marble effect laced with fine grey veins, finished in Super Matt. Galaxus is a 12mm compact worktop, solid right through, with a slim edge, and a 100mm upstand is listed with it, so a dark kitchen reads as one piece.

Delivery

Galaxus arrives in full lengths up to 4.1m on our own vehicles, with free delivery to every postcode we serve. Most of England and Wales gets it the next working day: check your date below. We confirm your slot the day before, and delivery is kerbside, so have a second person ready to carry it in.
Returns

Changed your mind? You have 14 days from delivery to return it unused, uncut and in its wrapping; we refund within 14 days of getting it back. Report any damage within 48 hours. Full returns policy.

Care and cleaning

Galaxus wipes clean with a soft cloth and warm soapy water. Buff dry straight away, because black shows streaks and water spots. A trivet and a chopping board protect the surface.

Which edge?

  • Postformed: the laminate wraps a soft, rounded front. Classic and hard-wearing.
  • Square edge: a sharp, modern line with a matching edge strip.
  • Compact: 12mm solid board, slim and waterproof.
More on edges and thickness

Fitting in four steps

  • Measure, then cut face down with a fine-tooth blade.
  • Lay it on the units and screw up through the brackets.
  • Seal the cut edges, then fit the upstand and end caps.

How to measure

  • Measure each wall run along the back, in millimetres.
  • Add about 50mm to every run so you can trim to a clean fit.
  • In an L-shape, let the longest run go into the corner.
Full measuring guide

Size guide

  • Worktops come 3000mm or 4100mm long and 600mm deep.
  • Breakfast bars are deeper: 665mm or 900mm, for islands and overhangs.
  • Buy a length that covers your run, then cut it to fit.

Why you’ll love it

  • Black with fine grey threads

    Delicate grey veins thread through a deep black ground, branching and fading. It is darker and subtler than a white-veined black marble, and quieter, with a calmer feel.

  • Super Matt over solid compact

    Super Matt is the maker finish name on this decor. The compact board is one dense layer, so the sink area is stable and undermount sinks can be fitted.

  • Also in laminate at 38mm and 22mm

    Two laminate thicknesses share this decor, 38mm and 22mm, both square edge. The compact is the slim, solid alternative, with an undermount option as well.

Black marble for dramatic, modern rooms

Galaxus suits kitchens that commit to a dark scheme: matt black cabinets, smoked glass and brushed steel, or contrast with white doors. The thin grey veining prevents the surface from looking flat. It also works on a bar top or island where a slim edge looks elegant. Trade buyers can use the same decor in a thin top and a thicker laminate.

How to fit

Fitting Galaxus

Pale dust and fingermarks show on black Galaxus, so keep the face covered while cutting. The 12mm board is bonded with adhesive and the compact fitting kit, so dry-fit before the adhesive comes out.

  1. Step 1

    Protect the face

    Keep the black face under card or tape while you work. The 650mm depth gives a small front overhang, so check it against the doors.

  2. Step 2

    Cut slowly

    Saw with carbide-tipped blades along masking tape and rout the edge. Brush off the pale dust before it settles on the dark surface.

  3. Step 3

    Glue and weight

    Spread adhesive on the cabinet tops, set the board and weight it flat. No screws pass through the top, so the black stays clean.

  4. Step 4

    Joint and seal

    Fit the compact kit at each join and silicone the wall gap. Polish the sink cut-out so the exposed edge is smooth.

Questions about Galaxus

Can’t find your answer? Contact our worktop team.

How large is the Galaxus compact worktop?

The standard top is 4100 x 650 x 12mm. A 950mm breakfast bar and a 1300mm full sheet are the other two formats.

Is it a good choice for an undermount sink?

Yes. The solid compact board lets the cut-out edge be polished and left on show. The laminate versions cannot take undermount sinks.

Does black show marks?

Pale dust, fingermarks and water spots show more on black than on a patterned decor. Wipe and buff dry to keep it clean.

What cabinets and handles go with it?

White, graphite, deep green and navy all suit it. Brass looks luxurious against black, while steel and black handles keep a modern line.

Compact or 22mm laminate for Galaxus?

The 22mm laminate gives a thicker front over chipboard. The compact gives a solid 12mm board and a slimmer edge, plus undermount sinks, which laminate cannot take.

Is there an upstand for the wall edge?

Yes. Galaxus has a 4100mm upstand, 100mm tall and 12mm thick, in the same black marble. Above it, use tiles or paint.
