Open-plan living with quartz kitchen worktops in Horsham

  

Open-plan living has become increasingly popular in recent years, as homeowners seek to create a more spacious and versatile living environment. This lifestyle involves combining different living spaces such as the kitchen, living room and dining room, into one large open area. The design trend allows for greater interaction between family members and guests, while also maximizing the available living space. One popular choice for kitchen worktops in an open plan space is quartz, due to its durability, ease of maintenance, and aesthetic appeal. Based in Charlwood Surrey, Affordable Granite has been fabricating and installing high quality quartz kitchen worktops in Horsham and the surrounding South East counties since 2003.

 

One of the key features of the open space is the kitchen, which is often positioned at the centre of the living area, becoming the focal point. This allows for easy access and visibility, making it easier to cook and entertain at the same time. Quartz kitchen worktops are made from engineered stone, which is a combination of natural quartz, other natural minerals, a polymer binding resin and coloured pigments. The combination creates a material that is highly resistant to scratches, stains, and heat. It is also non-porous, which means that it is resistant to bacteria and other microbes and unlike granite the stone doesn’t require sealing, due to the resin content. This makes quartz an ideal choice for kitchen work surfaces, where hygiene is essential.

 

In addition to its functional benefits, quartz also has a sleek and modern appearance that is well-suited to open-plan living spaces. It’s available in a stunning range of colours and finishes, from classic white to bold and vibrant shades, with a wide choice of patterns and veining, which closely mimic natural stones such as granite and marble. This means that homeowners can choose a quartz worktop that complements their existing décor and adds a distinctive style to their living space.

 

Overall, open-plan living with quartz kitchen worktops in Horsham is a design trend that offers many benefits for the modern lifestyle. With its combination of functionality and aesthetics, quartz is an ideal choice for homeowners who want to create a beautiful and practical living space. Affordable Granite provide an exceptional end-to-end service carried out by their in-house craftsmen to meet the customer’s aspirations and always respecting the allocated budget.  Call us today on 01293 863992 to fond out more.

Recipe for bespoke granite kitchen worktops in Brighton

 

You may have admired stone work surfaces in other homes, without an awareness of how much care and attention is required to attain the finished installation. Based in Charlwood Surrey, Affordable Granite provides a full supply and fitting service for bespoke granite kitchen worktops in Brighton and throughout the South Eastern counties. Skilled work practices are a crucial element at all steps in the journey from quarry to kitchen, with diligent quality control throughout to ensure this luxury stone is given the meticulous handling worthy of its vibrant beauty.

 

Granite is extracted from sites around the Globe with different colours and patterns related to the specific mineral content and region where the rock formed. The raw granite is excavated from the Earth’s crust in huge and heavy blocks which are then cut into uniform slabs with diamond saws or diamond wire, similar to the action of a giant bread slicing machine. The smooth, light-reflecting surface is achieved during fabrication by passing the slabs through a diamond pad polishing machine, bringing the stone’s unique beauty to life.    

 

 

However, the process doesn’t end there. Affordable Granite purchase stone from reputable and trusted distributors and by ordering in bulk shipments, discounts can be passed onto the customer while retaining a high quality product. In the Surrey factory, state-of-the-art machinery and computer-driven plant is operated by highly skilled Stone Masons. The granite slabs go through a labour-intensive final polishing process, ensuring both the surface and edges are smooth. Granite is an extremely hard, durable stone and although it does have a degree of natural porosity, sealing with a polymer resin during fabrication provides protection from spills and staining and is a simple process to repeat at home with a recommended product when required.

 

 

Once customers have selected the granite to suit their interior design scheme, Affordable Granite’s craftsmen will complete the templating of your base cabinetry, to ascertain the lay-out and location of cut-outs. This will define the visual appearance of the finished kitchen. The in-house installation team are committed to delivering the highest quality of service at the final stage of the project, with a new kitchen which meets all of your aspirations.  Call us today on 01293 863992
