Are you planning your new kitchen and are considering the options for the work surface material? Your decision will be crucial in determining not only on the look and feel of your culinary space, but also on its long-term value. Investing in quartz for your kitchen upgrade can prove to be considerably more beneficial over time, despite cheaper materials such as laminates seeming appealing initially. Affordable Granite has been fabricating and installing high quality, bespoke quartz worktops in the UK since 2003, with first-hand professional experience of how this engineered stone has a multitude of benefits.
Quartz is renowned for its exceptionally hard-wearing properties. Unlike laminates, which can scratch, peel, or swell with moisture over time, the resin binding agent combined with the quartz crystals during manufacture, provides a non-porous surface. This results in a durable worktop which is highly resistant to scratching, staining, and impact, making it a great choice for busy kitchens where everyday wear and tear are unavoidable. Quartz worktops are designed tolast for decades, maintaining their appearance with minimal maintenance.
Visual appeal is another compelling reason to opt for quartz. Based in Surrey, Affordable Granite hold a wide stock range of stone, available in an eclectic selection of colours and patterns. Quartz can perfectly replicate the luxurious look of natural stone while offering more consistency in shade and markings throughout the slab. This will enable you to achieve an elegant, high-end appearance that adds real value and buyer-appeal to your home, which is an important consideration if you choose to move on in the future.
Good hygiene is also a critical factor. Due to the non-porosity of quartz, the surface won’t harbour bacteria or be subject to mould growth, making it an easy to clean, and healthier option for food preparation compared to laminate worktops.
The initial cost of installing quartz worktops against cheaper materials can be a smart investment. You will be less likely to need repairs or replacements and higher maintenance requirements. The friendly and experienced in-house Affordable Granite team will be on-hand to advise on all aspects of your new project, including helpful tips to achieve your design vision and guidance on budget allocation, to ensure your quartz worktops will showcase a perfect kitchen.
