The importance of a stylish and functional culinary space shouldn’t be overlooked when planning a new kitchen. This room has evolved over recent years to become a multi-use home hub, reflecting personality and life style. Stone work surfaces introduce an essence of luxury, and quartz kitchen worktops are often considered to be the jewel in the crown, providing not only a practical surface for culinary tasks, but also stunning aesthetics.
Established in 2003, Affordable Granite is a family-owned company based in Surrey, specialising in the fabrication and installation of high grade quartz worktops for homeowners throughout the South East of England. Customers often ask whether quartz work surfaces are artificial. The answer is not intrinsically, due to the high percentage of ground quartz crystals present in the stone. However, it is an engineered or composite stone, manufactured by combining quartz, which is an exceptionally hard crystalline mineral, with polymer binding resins, and coloured pigments. This engineering process creates a durable, non-porous, and easily customisable worktop that has the appearance and strength of natural stone, while providing additional benefits through the advanced processing method.
Unlike natural stone options such as marble or granite, quartz kitchen worktops are consistent in pattern and colour due to the inclusion of pigments. This uniformity appeals to homeowners and interior designers looking for a sleek, cohesive look. The pigments combined with quartz allows for a wide range of colours, from classic whites and greys to bold blues and greens, offering versatility beyond natural stone.
The engineering process also brings practical advantages. The resin content ensures the worktops are non-porous, giving a surface which is resistant to stains and bacterial growth, providing a hard-wearing platform which is easy to maintain, and ideal in any kitchen environment.
Over the years, Affordable Granite has established a strong alliance with trusted wholesalers. By purchasing in bulk shipments, customers can benefit from the discounts achieved. If quartz is selected from the same consignment held at their Surrey workshops in Charlwood, there will be no visual variation in the stone. Ordering from stock, can also reduce the installation time.
