Choosing quality quartz for kitchen worktops in Brighton


So you've settled on quartz for your kitchen worktops in Brighton, but how do you choose the best quality at a price which doesn't break the budget? The Affordable Granite sales team are always on hand to help you make the right choice and to explain the pros and cons when selecting your stone slab, but here are a few points to get you started. 




Unlike granite, quartz is an engineered stone, fabricated by blending particles of quartz with various other minerals before bonding with a plastic resin. This creates a highly durable composite which can be polished and cut in a similar way to granite but has the advantage being non-porous to the extent that no stains will seep below the surface.  Quartz worktops for your Brighton Kitchen are also extremely low-maintenance, won't harbour bacteria and can be simply wiped down with soap and water; a definite bonus in a busy household.



Having taken into consideration the architecture of the kitchen cabinetry, the aesthetic personality and the home lifestyle, you're ready to select your quartz slab. How can you be sure the stone you've chosen is of a high calibre?  Affordable Granite source only stone from trusted suppliers, which has already passed intensive quality  checks. There is a vast variety of colours available, with a choice of solid colours from pure white to chocolate brown and black, or with patterns which mimic natural stone.  Quartz slabs are generally 3cm thick and the consistency of colour depends on how the aggregates have settled in the stone. If you want the visible edges of your worktop to conform with the colour or markings of the flat surface, you should check that the settlement runs all the way through the slab to avoid a blank edge profile.  



Quartz kitchen worktops in Brighton are an excellent choice for a contemporary kitchen and are a smart alternative to the ultra-modern industrial look of the stainless steel work surface which requires constant maintenance removing conspicuous finger prints and crumbs. Quartz is also a versatile addition to the kitchen/dining area and can be used as a focal point, whilst blending beautifully with natural materials such as wood.  If you have your kitchen wish list, Affordable Granite will make it happen.  Call us today on 01293 863992
