From quarry to your home – granite kitchen worktops in Brighton

When you admire a stunning kitchen with granite worktops, have you ever considered the journey that the stone has taken? Granite originates from various sites from around the globe and the granular nature is unique to the quarry from which it was mined. It is generally a compressed molten rock which has formed deep in the Earth's crust. When Affordable Granite install granite kitchen worktops in Brighton, the transition from the extracted stone to the finished article is remarkable.

The provenance of the granite with the inherent mineral content such as mica and feldspar and quartz, determines the colour and the patterns which are as individual as a piece of art. With the advances in technology, the granite blocks can be cut into slabs efficiently and precisely with a consistent thickness by the use of a diamond wire gang saw (imagine a supermarket giant bread slicer). This streamlined operation has cost saving benefits which can be passed on to the consumer, without any reduction in quality.  

The slabs are then coated with resin to ensure the stone surface is protected, followed by a line machine polishing process which will bring the natural depth and beauty of the granite to life.

The journey continues once these large slabs arrive at the Affordable Granite workshops from trusted suppliers, having undergone a process of rigorous quality control.
Selecting the granite for your Brighton kitchen worktops will depend on the style and personality you aspire to.
