When planning
the design of a kitchen in a new build property you have a blank canvas,
whereas when re-modelling the kitchen area the existing layout and features
need to be considered. Quartz for your kitchen worktops in Guildford is available in a vast choice of
stunning colours and characteristics, with a wide scope for creativity. The
dedicated Affordable Granite team can assist in you in selecting the high
quality stone which is right for your project and is within your budget.
Unlike other
stones such as Granite or Marble, the Quartz used for work surfaces is an
engineered stone and is a made-made composite of crushed quartz mixed with
other ingredients such as fragments of glass, metals, mirrors and other hard
materials, and can also be impregnated with various colour pigments. These are
then combined with a polymer resin base and compressed, resulting in a non-porous,
extremely durable stone. This non-porosity is ideal for food preparation as the
surface will be resistant to stains, mildew and mould, easy to maintain and easy
to keep virtually bacteria free.
Quartz slabs
from the same batches are uniform in colour and appearance and depending on how
finely or coarsely the quartz has been ground, this will be reflected in the
appearance. A composition of a coarser grind will result in a flecked finish
and when finely ground, the stone will have smoother, shinier surface.
There is a
growing trend for quartz kitchen worktops in Guildford to have earthier shades of soft greys and
browns which give the striking impression of marble but have the advantage of
being more hard-wearing and are lower-maintenance with no need for sealing. The
warm white of Arcadia quartz with its luminous simplicity is ideal for a
minimalist kitchen design. If your home currently has more traditional
cabinetry, the addition of a quartz work surface can refresh the overall look
with a contemporary feel, without the cost of replacing existing kitchen units.
Planning the
kitchen around the home life-style is essential. If you have an open space
kitchen-dining layout or a combined living space, the aesthetics of your quartz kitchen worktops should be compatible with the overall design scheme. This
will not only determine that the harmony of comfort, visual appeal and
functionality is achieved, but is also a long-term investment for the future.
