The resin sealant applied professionally during fabrication provides a surface which is resistant to scratches and stains, remaining pristine with a simple daily cleaning regime by wiping with a soft cloth and non-abrasive products. Re-sealing is an easy task which can be carried out at home when required.

Design ideas for your granite kitchen worktops in Reigate

Designing your new kitchen space can be an exciting project, but it does require careful planning to ensure both practical and aesthetic objectives are achieved.

If you are upgrading your present home or have invested in a property for re-sale,

choosing granite for your kitchen worktops ticks all the boxes for durability, functionality and stunning visual effects. Based in Surrey, Affordable Granite are leading stone fabricators and installers of superb quality granite kitchen worktops in Reigate and the surrounding South Eastern counties since 2003.

Granite is a natural stone with unique and inspiring patterns and colour hues, reflecting the presence of the minerals in the site where it formed deep beneath the Earth’s surface. For those with a love of nature’s original beauty, no slab of granite will be the same and even in the individual length of stone there will generally be variations in the shade and veining. The wide colour palette complements any design scheme and can be chosen as a striking focal point or for a subtle and muted effect when teamed with more prominent base cabinetry or dramatic paint colours. Granite kitchen work surfaces provide a visual free-flow in an open-plan living area and are a great pairing for multi-use island and peninsula units, while the smaller compact kitchen can be given the illusion of space and light with the luminosity of the paler shades of granite

 

Although granite does have a degree of natural porosity, as the stone is sealed with a polymer resin in the Affordable Granite workshops during fabrication, this provides a protective surface which is easy to clean and impervious to spillages and stains. A recommended sealant can easily be re-applied at home when necessary. High quality Granite held in stock is available at very competitive prices to suit most budgets and can be viewed by appointment. Personally selecting the right slabs ensures the finished installation will meet all your expectations, with impartial and professional advice available from the Affordable Granite team to assist you with your choice.

Next level living with granite kitchen worktops in Reigate

During recent months when more time has been spent at home,  our daily lives have changed and it’s common for our kitchen habits to evolve with the need to meet the requirements for working outside of the workplace and an increased interest in preparing restaurant style meals for in-house dining. The kitchen has come under scrutiny and in many cases has fallen short of the new lifestyle. If you are planning an upscale, granite kitchen worktops in Reigate provide a next level living experience with a wealth of benefits, not only for practical use but also for transforming aesthetics.

Granite is durable and once polished is a visually stunning light-reflecting stone which has been extracted from deep within the Earth’s surface where it has slowly crystallised from molten lava. The colour and veining within the stone are indicative of the global site where the granite formed from a fusion of mainly quartz, mica, feldspar and other minerals. Each granite slab is unique and even within the same length of stone the patterns and striations can vary, resulting in a stunning tapestry which reflects a product of nature.  Granite does have some natural porosity, but the sealing process during the finishing techniques in the Affordable Granite workshops provides protection from liquid seepage and staining. This can be easily repeated with a recommended product at home when necessary, making granite the ideal choice in the busy kitchen where maintaining cleanliness is essential for hygienic food preparation and culinary habits in general.

The modern kitchen is considered to be the home hub, bringing the whole family together with more conscious awareness of what the space currently provides and how to improve this by upscaling.
