An insight into installing granite kitchen worktops in Crawley


If you're planning to install granite kitchen worktops in Crawley, where does the process begin? The journey from quarry to kitchen starts in the global location from which the huge granite blocks have been extracted from deep beneath the Earth's surface, where the magma has slowly crystallised. Granite has a unique and intricate beauty with blends of colour and pattern flow determined by the provenance of the stone and the mineral content present at the source. 




The raw granite is processed with the use of specialist equipment, including diamond wire cutters and gang saws, followed by grinding to give a smooth surface, with rigorous quality control throughout each step of the operation.
Affordable Granite only source quality stone from trusted wholesalers and by purchasing in bulk are able to pass on discounts achieved for the customer's benefit.


So at what stage do you as the customer join the journey? The first step will be to provide measurements of your kitchen space and as much information you have available relevant to the proposed upgrade, including your available budget which will always be respected. Selecting the slabs for your granite kitchen work surfaces is the exciting part of the process and as each slab has its own unique charm with variations in pattern and striations,  viewing in person at the Affordable Granite Surrey workshops is strongly recommended, ensuring you will have the perfect stone to compliment your design scheme.


Specialist templaters will visit your home to create plastic templates to the precise measurements of your kitchen worktops, including any provision for joins and cut-outs required according to the lay-out. This is when the time-served stonemasons and fabricators take over, cutting the slabs to the template specifications, followed by polishing to enhance to beauty of the granite and polymer resin sealing as additional protection against seepage and staining.


An in-house dedicated installation team will then complete the transformation, ensuring the completed project will result in a kitchen you can take pride in for years to come. Affordable Granite have a wealth of experience in custom fabrication and a highly professional end-to-end service, which is second to none.
