Bespoke Light & Dark Emperador Marble Staircase for the Stormont Hotel
At Coulter Tile Warehouse, we take pride in delivering high-end Supply & Fix projects that combine quality craftsmanship with world-class materials. One of our most recent and most striking projects brought us to the prestigious Stormont Hotel, where we designed and installed a fully bespoke Light & Dark Emperador marble staircase — a true showcase of luxury, precision, and natural beauty.
This case study explores how we sourced, manufactured, and installed this stunning feature piece from start to finish.
A Luxury Marble Project Designed to Impress
The Stormont Hotel required a staircase that would deliver impact the moment guests stepped into the space — something timeless, elegant, and unmistakably premium. To achieve this, our team recommended a combination of Light Emperador and Dark Emperador natural marble, renowned for their deep, warm tones and striking veining.
The finished result is a staircase that blends luxury with durability, enhancing the overall character of the hotel’s interior.
Premium Marble Imported Directly from Spain
To guarantee the highest quality, we imported the Emperador marble slabs directly from a quarry in Spain, selecting only the strongest and most visually consistent blocks.
This direct-from-quarry approach ensures:
- Superior material quality
- Authentic natural variations
- Consistency across large-format slabs
- Reliable, ethical sourcing
By handling the procurement process ourselves, we maintain complete control over the materials used in every high-end project.
Precision Manufacturing in Our Bangor Facility
Once the slabs arrived in Northern Ireland, our in-house fabrication team began the meticulous process of transforming raw marble into a perfectly engineered staircase.
At our Bangor warehouse, we carried out:
- Cutting and shaping of slabs
- Edge profiling
- Hand finishing
- Slip-resistant treatment where required
- Precision joint and step alignment
Every piece was crafted to meet the exact specifications of the Stormont Hotel’s design requirements, with millimetre accuracy ensured at every stage.
Professional Onsite Installation
After manufacturing the staircase components in-house, our installation team transported and fitted the finished marble onsite at the hotel. Natural stone installation requires experience, attention to detail, and expert handling — especially when dealing with heavy, high-value materials.
The installation included:
- Structural preparation
- Exact placement of each step
- Seamless joining with minimal visible lines
- Polishing and finishing for a flawless look
The final result is a staircase that feels both grand and perfectly balanced within the hotel’s design.
A Stunning Centrepiece for the Stormont Hotel
The completed Light & Dark Emperador staircase has become a standout design feature inside the Stormont Hotel — a statement of quality and craftsmanship.
This project highlights what we do best:
- Premium material sourcing
- Skilled in-house stone manufacturing
- Expert installation
- Delivery of luxury finishes for commercial and high-end residential spaces
