Quartz
is a high-end engineered stone, consisting mainly of crushed quartz and
combined with other re-cycled elements such as glass, silica and ceramics. The
inclusion of polymer resins provides a non-porous surface without the need for
regular sealing, unlike granite. The hardness of this man-made stone with its
resistance to bacteria, gives a hygienic surface which is ideal for your quartz kitchen worktops in Sussex.
Once
pigments are added during the manufacturing process, the colour options are
considerable and the new generation of quartz with advancements in technology
have increased the options for special effects and appearances. Despite this
not being an entirely natural stone, it nevertheless gives granite and marble a
run for their money and some quartz slabs have been produced to mimic the
patterns and veining created by nature.
Although
you won't find the uniqueness in quartz kitchen worktops
that is present in granite, for some this uniformity is preferable to a surface
with variations in depth of colour and striations. Neither will you see the
imperfections which are visible in a natural product, as these can be resolved
during the quality-controlled engineering process.
When
choosing your quartz kitchen worktops for your Sussex home
you should consider your home lifestyle to ensure they will be resilient in a
busy kitchen space. In a high demand environment of the food preparation area,
quartz kitchen worktops excel, with durability and low maintenance. The surface
is easy to clean, generally with the use of only a soft cloth and warm water,
avoiding harsh detergents.
Once
you are confident that all the practicalities are met, you can focus on the
aesthetics of your interior design scheme.
