The perfect paring with granite kitchen worktops in Guildford

Choosing the right surface for your kitchen base units is key to creating the overall design scheme which will complement your living style. Granite kitchen worktops are the perfect pairing for the traditional or contemporary kitchen space, capturing the defining feature which will provide the desired wow factor.

If you are considering installing granite kitchen worktops in Guildford you may be under the assumption that as a luxury stone this will be outside of your budget. Although rarer examples of granite do come at a premium cost, Affordable Granite are able to supply their stock granite range at competitive prices without sacrificing quality, by purchasing stone in bulk from trusted wholesalers.

 

 

 

For those with a love of the original, each slab of granite will be a unique reflection of the mineral content present beneath the Earth’s surface at the time the molten rock cooled and solidified within the geographical site from which it was extracted. This provenance results in a myriad of colour hues, patterns and striations with distinct characteristics which can never be repeated and often vary even within the same granite slab. Due to this uniqueness, Affordable Granite advise customers to view the stone by appointment at their workshops in Charlwood, Surrey to ensure they are selecting the slabs which will meet all their aspirations for the new kitchen.

 

Granite is extremely dense and durable which makes it a long-term investment and as a low-maintenance product it’s ideal for preparing food and maintaining hygienic work surfaces in a busy kitchen. Although this natural stone has a degree of porosity, application with a resin sealant during manufacture will protect from liquid seepage and can be easily re-applied at home when required.

Affordable Granite provide a full supply and installation service in Guildford and the South East of England. This includes a transparent estimate of costs and templating of the base units for precise measurements before the highly skilled stonemasons will cut and polish the selected stone, enhancing the natural beauty. Final installations are carried out by the in-house team and never subcontracted, guaranteeing that the same close attention to detail and high level of craftsmanship is maintained throughout.

Step up the style with quartz kitchen worktops in Haywards Heath

Are you tired of your existing kitchen or perhaps you’re moving into a new home and have a blank canvas to design your ideal kitchen space? If you have quartz kitchen worktops on your wish list, there’s no need to sacrifice quality or scrimp on luxury while keeping within budget. As the leading supplier and installer of stone countertops in Surrey and throughout the South East of England, Affordable Granite ensure that all factors involved during production from quarry to kitchen are closely monitored. Relationships have been built over the years with trusted wholesalers and by purchasing high quality stone supplies in bulk the discounts achieved can be passed on for the customer’s benefit.  

 

If you are considering installing quartz kitchen worktops in Haywards Heath, you may find it helpful to know more about the qualities of this engineered stone. Unlike natural stones such as granite or marble, your quartz slabs will have been manufactured with the use of advanced technology by combining ground quartz crystals with other minerals and polymer binding resins. The injection of coloured pigments during the engineering process results in a spectacular range of colours and patterns, rivalling natural stones in aesthetic appeal. Quartz also has the advantage of being non-porous and impervious to staining or the growth of bacteria, providing a hygienic platform for food preparation and high-activity in a busy kitchen.

 

 

Planning a new kitchen should be an exciting project, but it can also be challenging without professional advice. It may be tempting to choose your quartz kitchen worktops based on the current trend, but bear in mind this might not have the same appeal to buyers if you later decide to move on. Creating the right ambiance while considering the practicalities compatible with the home lifestyle should be a decision with an eye on the future, as this will be a long-term investment. 

 

 

The Affordable Granite team have a wealth of experience in kitchen planning and design and are always on hand to provide impartial advice before customers make the final choice. You may find it helpful to create a simple mood board, with cuttings from interior design magazines, colour swatches and fabric samples. Quartz gives the versatility to work in harmony with any interior theme and this is where you can step up the style with warm country vibes, hot pops of colour or with a neutral contemporary element.
