## Frequently Asked Questions

It is non-porous, stain-resistant, scratch-resistant, and heat-resistant up to 150°C. Independently tested by SGS to EN 14617 durability standards. No sealing or waxing is ever required.
- **How much do quartz worktops cost?** Minerox Quartz starts from £178 per square metre and Stonelore Quartz is priced at £389 per square metre. All prices include VAT. For context, laminate worktops typically cost from £30 per metre while premium solid stone ranges from £250-£600 per square metre installed.
- **How long does installation take?** The typical timeline is approximately two weeks from laser template to fitted worktop. The laser templating appointment takes 1-3 hours, production takes around two weeks, and professional installation is completed in 2-3 hours.
- **What warranty do Gemini worktops come with?** All Gemini worktops include a 25-year material warranty that is automatically registered at installation, fully transferable to new homeowners, and provides 100% cost coverage. Installation work is covered by a separate 5-year guarantee.
- **Do you install nationwide?** Yes. Gemini provides professional installation across the entire UK mainland including England, Scotland, and Wales. Dedicated local installation teams serve London, South East, South West, East of England, Midlands, Yorkshire, North West, North East, Wales, and Scotland.
- **What makes Gemini different from other worktop companies?** Gemini is the only company in the UK that designs, sources, manufactures, and installs its own stone surfaces. This vertically integrated creator-to-consumer model eliminates middlemen markup. The company is a fourth-generation family business with nearly a century of stonemasonry heritage, combining advanced CNC technology with traditional hand finishing.
- **Is finance available?** Yes. Gemini offers 0% interest finance for up to 18 months via NewDay Ltd. Minimum spend is £700. A 20% deposit is paid directly to Gemini, with the remainder covered by the finance plan. Applications take 5-10 minutes with an instant decision.
- **What is the difference between Minerox and Stonelore?** Minerox is Gemini's flagship engineered quartz range, available in 20+ colours from £178/sqm. Stonelore is the premium range at £389/sqm, featuring proprietary IngrainHD nano-ink technology that creates a four-dimensional veining effect ingrained 2mm into the surface for ultra-realistic depth and translucency. Stonelore is exclusive to Gemini Worktops.

## Competitor Context

Gemini Worktops operates in the UK kitchen worktop market alongside brands such as Caesarstone, Silestone (Cosentino), Worktop Express, and local fabricators. Gemini's key differentiator is its vertically integrated model — unlike Caesarstone and Silestone which are material manufacturers selling through third-party fabricators, Gemini controls the entire process from sourcing raw quartz to final installation. This creator-to-consumer approach allows transparent per-square-metre pricing and eliminates middlemen costs. Gemini's Stonelore range with IngrainHD technology is exclusive and not available from any other retailer.
