If you are planning to fit a new kitchen, choosing the right material for a work surface which will stand the test of time in functionality and aesthetics is of prime importance to ensure your investment is well-spent. Affordable Granite are Surrey-based specialists in the fabrication and installation of quartz kitchen worktops in Horley and in counties throughout the South East of England. Over recent years quartz has risen in popularity and has become a strong contender for the work surface of choice as a rival to the natural stones, granite and marble.
So if quartz isn’t a creation of nature, what it is exactly? This isn’t an ‘artificial’ product, as natural elements including a high percentage of ground quartz crystals and a smaller amount of other minerals have been combined with coloured pigments and polymer binding resins with the use of high-technology in an engineering process. This results in an incredibly durable stone which will withstand constant use and also replicates the visual appearance of granite so closely that to the untrained eye it may be difficult to recognise the difference.
One notable advantage of quartz kitchen worktops is in their non-porosity, with a solid surface which has superior resistance to the absorption of stains and liquid seepage. This also provides a hygienic platform for food preparation, as in addition to the polymer sealant content, this engineered stone will be free of naturally occurring pitting and fissures which otherwise may harbour the growth of mould and harmful bacteria.
Quartz kitchen worktops also have striking visual appeal and the inclusion of recycled materials and the coloured pigments injected during manufacture provide an eclectric spectrum of colours and patterns which will enhance any interior design style. This is where you have the opportunity to express the distinct characteristics representative of your home life, whether this may be a contemporary décor or more traditional and rustic aesthetics.
