If you are considering stone for your kitchen work surfaces but find the inconsistency in shades and the natural pitting visible in granite to be a disadvantage, upscaling with quartz kitchen worktops in Crawley could well be an excellent alternative. Where granite and marble are naturally formed stones, quartz is an engineered product which has been skilfully produced with high-tech machinery. It contains a higher percentage of ground quartz crystals, combined with other minerals, binding resins and coloured pigments. Recycled light-reflecting mirror chips can also be added to give a light-reflecting sparkle to the stone.
With so many options available on the market, it can be overwhelming and easy to get spoilt for choice. From different colours, patterns and textures, it could be challenging to choose the perfect quartz worktop that complements your kitchen design and personal taste. One of the first points to consider when choosing a quartz worktop is the colour scheme of your kitchen. If you have a predominantly white or neutral kitchen design, a dark-coloured quartz worktop can add a dramatic contrast and create a statement piece. Conversely, if you have a vibrant or colourful kitchen design, quartz in a neutral shade will tone down the aesthetics and add a touch of elegance.
It’s also essential to consider the pattern within the stone. Some quartz kitchen worktops have a uniform pattern that creates a sleek and modern look, while others have a natural stone-like pattern that adds character and depth to the space. The pattern should complement the overall style of the kitchen and create a cohesive look, especially if this is within an open-plan living area. Quartz held in stock can be viewed at the Affordable Granite factory in Charlwood, Surrey.
Quartz kitchen work surfaces are exceptionally hard-wearing and the blending of a polymer binding resin during manufacture ensures the stone is resilient to scratches, stains and the growth of mould or bacteria. With the durability in mind however, as the worktops will be in place for many years to come it may be wise to consider whether the colour and pattern will continue to be consistent with any new interior design scheme in the future.
