Once you've
decided to install a quartz worktop, how can you be confident that you have
made the right choice? The experienced team at AffordableGranite in Haywards Heath can guide you through your options and explain
the advantages of using ‘quartz’ over 'granite', according to your budget and
life-style.
What is the
difference between the two substances is probably the most frequently asked
question we are asked. Commercially,
what is recognised as 'granite' is a combination of a variety of stones which
have been mined from deep within the earth and is a hard and always natural
rock.
'Granite'
slabs which are dark or black in colour are mainly igneous rocks and have a
lower porosity, resulting in minimum staining. With the darker shades should
any stains penetrate the surface, they are less likely to be easily visible.
The lighter tones of 'granite' are generally a fusion of sands, gravel and
other minerals with a lower density and are therefore more susceptible to
stains from spillages and more conspicuous. For this reason, customers are
always advised to ensure the sealant is maintained.
So that brings
us the benefitsof choosing quartz for your kitchen work surfaces and what you should
consider. Quartz is an 'engineered' stone and even though it has the appearance
of natural stone, unlike 'granite' it is man-made, has a higher tensile
strength and with the resin base has the advantage of being completely
non-porous. This means that any surface stains should be easily removed without
seeping into the stone. When you are making your choice, consider perhaps that
if you have children in the home, or a somewhat chaotic style of cooking,
installing a quartz work top in the kitchen may well be beneficial.
There is also
a wide selection of stunning colours in our quartzworktops range to complement any kitchen colour-scheme, all of the highest
quality supported by an exceptional service.
