Showcase your living style with quartz kitchen worktops in Horley

With light-reflecting beauty, stunning shades and patterns, fitting quartz kitchen worktops in Horley will showcase your living style and integrate with the interior design scheme. Quartz also has exceptional durability and will withstand around-the-clock use in a multi-functional kitchen. This isn’t a naturally formed stone and has been engineered with advanced technology by combining ground quartz crystals with other minerals, recycled materials, polymer binding resins and coloured pigments. This results in a surface which is resistant to chipping, liquid absorption and staining, without the need for sealing after fabrication or installation. 

 

Visually, quartz replicates granite so closely that to the inexperienced eye it may well be difficult to recognise the difference.  Affordable Granite has been installing stone kitchen worktops in Horley and the surrounding counties since 2003. During this time the family-owned company has become the leading South East supplier as a high quality stone fabricator and installer of both natural and engineered stone work surfaces.  

 

 

Life-styles are changing, perhaps more rapidly than previously and the kitchen has evolved into a home-hub which now serves not only as a culinary space, but also as a remote work station or for online schooling and entertaining. This calls for a durable and easy to maintain kitchen countertop which will also be inviting with a welcoming vibe. The increasing interest in cookery programmes has also inspired many home cooks to prepare more innovative dishes, with aspirations for a kitchen which exudes the same level of elegance and versatility used by on-screen professional chefs.

 

 

Eating at home has also become a growing trend in place of restaurant dining and family or friends frequently socialise in the kitchen zone. The broad colour spectrum and patterns present in quartz provide the opportunity to create any ambiance in-keeping with the overall décor. Options range from the understated neutral and cool contemporary, to quartz with bold and bright pops of colour. Unlike Granite, the shade and veining will be consistent throughout the stone and providing the quartz is chosen from the same consignment, each slab will be identical.   

 

  

Affordable Granite’s dedicated in-house team of craftsman ensure that every stage of the project is carried out in line with the Company’s core values to the highest standards and within the customer’s allocated budget.Call us today on 01293 863992 to find out more.

Featuring quartz kitchen worktops in Guildford

Life-style changes over the past decade have been a result of various influences, reflecting our design choices in the desire to maximise home comfort and increase property value. This is particularly evident in the kitchen space, which has commonly become the most prominent feature in the interior design scheme.

With the kitchen increasingly becoming a multi-use zone, careful consideration should be given when choosing the work surfaces which will not only need to be future-proof, but also have visual appeal reflecting the home personality. Affordable Granite is a family-owned stone fabrication and supply company which has been installing high quality quartz kitchen worktops in Guildford and the surrounding counties since 2003.

Quartz certainly ticks all the boxes on a wish-list for durability, easy maintenance, versatility and aesthetic beauty. Contrary to natural stones such as granite and marble, the quartz slabs for your kitchen countertops won’t have been extracted from the quarry. This is an engineered stone which has been produced by high-tech machinery and is a combination of coarsely or finely ground quartz crystals combined with a smaller percentage of other minerals, polymer binding resins and coloured pigments. As quartz replicates the colour and patterns of naturally formed stones, the difference in appearance may only be possible with an expert eye.

 

 

The modern kitchen serves many purposes and is frequently a sub-division in an open-plan multi-functional living space. Island and peninsula units have become the perfect element in the interior design scheme for food preparation, dining and social gatherings. Quartz kitchen worktops are non-porous and resistant to stains, scratches or chipping and due to the polymer resin content they don’t require sealing to protect the surface. The wide variety of shades and veining are consistent throughout the stone and the selection can be made from the quartz slabs held in stock at the Affordable Granite workshops in Charlwood,Surrey.

 

 

All templating of the base cabinetry, fabrication and the final installation will be carried out by the in-house team of skilled craftsmen, with stringent quality control checks at every step of the project.  Call us today on 01293 863992

The elegance of granite kitchen worktops in Horsham

Stone fabricators Affordable Granite have been supplying and installing high quality and elegant granite kitchen worktops in Horsham and the South Eastern counties since 2003. This natural stone has an eclectic range of rich colours and charismatic patterns, reflecting the mineral content present during formation.

Extracted from quarries around the globe, each slab has a visual uniqueness, providing the opportunity to create a kitchen space which embodies originality within the interior design style.

Granite is also an incredibly hard and durable stone which is ideal for culinary tasks and constant use. Over the years the kitchen has evolved into the multi-use hub of the home and has adapted for changing lifestyles, with open-plan kitchen/living spaces, social gatherings and informal eating. The combination of stunning beauty and durability makes granite an excellent choice for kitchen worktops which will stand the test of time and complement any design concept.

 

  

A hygienic platform for food preparation is also an essential element to consider and although granite does have a degree of natural porosity, sealing with a polymer resin during fabrication ensures the surface is resistant to the growth of mould and harmful bacteria. Providing liquids aren’t left to sit on the granite worktops, the stone will also be invulnerable to staining. Resealing can easily be carried out at home when necessary with a recommended product and the surface will only require cleaning with warm water and a soft cloth to maintain the original beauty within the stone.

 

  

Affordable Granite is a customer-focused family-owned business, with an in-house team of skilled craftsmen providing an end-to-end service for the supply and installation of superb quality stone kitchen worktops. Customers are invited to view granite held in stock at our workshops in Charlwood Surrey, where impartial advice is available to ensure your new kitchen will have the feel-good factor for many years to come.
