Ready to upgrade with quartz kitchen worktops in Guildford

 

 

The kitchen has evolved into a home hub that has become a multi-functional space and is often the focal point in the interior design scheme, especially within an open-plan layout. You may have found that your current kitchen is no longer relevant for your living style, or perhaps you have purchased a property where the kitchen falls short of your expectations and needs to be replaced. If you are ready to upgrade with quartz kitchen worktops in Guildford, the family owned Surrey based company Affordable Granite has a wealth of experience in the supply and installation of stone work surfaces throughout the South East of England.

 

 

You may be concerned about how to start the upscale project and whether you are making the right decisions. Affordable Granite is committed to providing a service which is carried out ethically within their core values, ensuring the customer receives the highest level of service throughout the installation process. Professional advice is always available from the in-house team to assist with selecting the quartz slabs, which can be viewed at the Affordable Granite workshops in Charlwood, Surrey.

 

It’s often beneficial to begin by creating a simple mood board, with cuttings from interior design magazines, fabric swatches, paint samples and photos of any existing cabinetry. Quartz is a mad-made, engineered stone which mimics the colours and patterns found in natural stones such as granite and marble. A high percentage of crushed quartz crystals are combined with other minerals, coloured pigments and a polymer binding resin. This results in a highly resilient stone which provides a hygienic and easy to clean surface for food preparation and relaxed catch-ups and unlike granite it won’t require sealing, due to the polymer resin compound included during manufacture.   

 

 

Quartz kitchen worktops aren’t only practical, they also have a stunning visual appeal with a wide spectrum of shades, flecks and veining. This gives customers the opportunity to create a colour palette in-keeping with the home personality and living style, with stock-held quartz available within the average budget. While design trends come and go, stone work surfaces are timeless and Affordable Granite will ensure that your completed kitchen will be of the highest quality and give many years of satisfaction.  Call us today on 01293 863992 and book your visit to our Surrey based showroom.

Choosing to install granite kitchen worktops in Crawley will reflect the original beauty of nature, bringing the essence of the outdoors into the home environment.

Granite has more advantages in the kitchen than simply its translucent beauty.

As a polymer resin coating is applied during fabrication, this results in an extremely durable and impermeable surface which is ideal for hygienic food preparation in a busy culinary space. Maintaining cleanliness and appearance is an easy process, requiring only wiping with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive cleaning product, also ensuring acidic substances aren’t left to sit on the worktop.

The wide spectrum of colours and striations harmonise with any interior design theme, creating a focal landscape in an open-plan layout or the illusion of space in a compact kitchen. Granite countertops serve a multi-activity hub well with options for island and peninsula units suitable for casual dining and social gatherings with guests. The current home lifestyle often calls for a kitchen to adapt for working from home and remote study, frequently evolving into a gathering place on a daily basis.

Distinctively different quartz kitchen worktops in Guildford

 

If you are contemplating fitting stone work surfaces, you may like to consider installing quartz kitchen worktops in Guildford. As quartz is a man-made engineered stone it doesn’t have the uniqueness of granite, but there are considerable benefits. The combination of crushed quartz crystals, other natural minerals and the injection of coloured pigments during the engineering process results in a visually stunning stone with a variety of patterns and shades throughout the colour spectrum. The addition of a polymer binding resin provides a robust and non-porous, impermeable work surface which is effortless to maintain. Established in 2003, Affordable Granite is the leading South East Stone Fabricator and Installer of high quality quartz kitchen countertops, renowned for a customer-focused service which is carried out diligently by the skilled in-house workforce.

 

 

Quartz also has the advantage of visually mimicking natural stones such as granite or marble, without natural pitting or variance in colour and shade running throughout the slab. The polymer sealant content present in quartz also avoids the need for pre-sealing during fabrication or repeat applications to protect the impermeability of the surface, as would be required with granite. Funky or formal, colour and pattern options are available to make a distinct difference and transform the kitchen space, harmonising with any interior design style. The crisp and clean paler shades give the illusion of light and space in a small kitchen and the more vibrant, cutting-edge colours create a focal-point wow factor, reflecting the home personality and lifestyle.

 

 

Although the kitchen has always been a busy area within the home, with the current changes to daily routines, including an increase in hybrid working, remote study away from the classroom and open-plan living, there are additional demands on the kitchen above just culinary tasks. Quartz kitchen worktops will provide a durable and hygienic platform for food preparation while also creating a welcoming and multi-functional space to spend time in.

 

 

Stock-heldquartz can be viewed by appointment at the Affordable Granite workshops in Charlwood, Surrey. Provided the stone is from the same consignment, each slab will be uniform in shade and pattern.  Professional advice is always available to ensure your allocated budget is respected and your new kitchen worktop installation will give an excellent long-term investment.
