Home upgrade with granite kitchen worktops

 

You may have stone work surfaces at the top of your wish-list for your kitchen upgrade but assume that these will be outside of your allocated budget. Installing high-grade granite kitchen worktops can be accomplished within your home upgrade plan,  without downgrading quality. Surrey-based Affordable Granite fabricate and install the finest granite worktops for customers throughout the South East of England and beyond. Established as a family company in 2003, during this time they have earned an exceptional reputation for providing an excellent customer-focused service, with all work carried out by the team of highly skilled, in-house craftsmen. By purchasing granite stock in bulk shipments from reputable wholesalers, cost savings can be passed on to customers, and diligent quality control checks are carried out at every step of the journey from quarry to kitchen.

 

Why choose granite? This is a natural stone which is not only extremely hard-wearing and functional, once polished during fabrication it has a stunning luminosity to complement any kitchen style. If you have a love of the original, each slab of granite is unique in shade, veining and pattern, and you will find that even within the same length of stone, there will be variations which highlight the uniqueness of the granite. Introducing an essence of nature into the home interior design scheme has risen in popularity, and the natural origin of the stone is clearly visible in the mineral elements present during the formation from cooling lava. This mineral content determines the eclectic spectrum of colours and markings running through the granite, varying from subtle veining and speckles to bold swirling striations.

 

Granite worktops are suitable for any size of kitchen, and the paler, muted colour palettes are ideal for a space where natural light is limited, creating an illusion of spaciousness. Open- concept kitchen/living zones call for a fusion of design and décor, to ensure the whole area is consistent in reflecting the home personality and life-style. Granite is an extremely hard-wearing stone, perfect for culinary tasks and multi-functional daily use. 

 

Once sealed during fabrication, the surface will be resistant to stains, mould and harmful bacterial growth, providing a hygienic and visually stunning kitchen granite work top which is easy to maintain. Re-sealing is a simple process which can be repeated at home with a recommended product, when required. Although the rarer more exotic stones do command a premium price, stock-held granite is available within most budgets and customers are invited to view and select their preferred granite at the Affordable Granite workshops in Charlwood, Surrey.  Call us today on 01293 863992 or use the Contact Us Page on our website to get in touch.
