Although granite is a premium material, it’s no longer only accessible to the uber-wealthy and over the last decade has become the kitchen work surface of choice for many discerning homeowners. This is a stone which is not only hard-wearing, it also has great aesthetic appeal with stunning diversity in the colour spectrum and patterning. Visually, granite kitchen worktops can raise the interior décor in an open-plan kitchen/living space to the next level, creating a distinctive sense of style reflecting the home personality. With the modern kitchen frequently being used as a multi-activity hub, the kitchen worktops are required to withstand constant use which extends beyond culinary tasks. Although granite has a degree of natural porosity, as the stone is sealed with a polymer resin during fabrication, this will provide an easy to maintain hygienic platform for food preparation which is stain and bacteria resistant.

 

 

With the horizontal lines of the work surfaces visually being the main focus, especially with island and peninsula units, the ambiance should also be a welcoming space and for many homes a zone for relaxation and socialising. Each granite slab is unique, with an originality reflecting the minerals present during formation deep underground from cooling magma and even within the same length of stone, there will generally be variations in shade and veining. This accentuates granite’s originality. The visual appearance is also indicative of the global site from which the stone was extracted.

 

 

Affordable Granite recommend that customers visit their workshops in Charlwood, Surrey to select the perfect stone to create a practical and inspirational granite kitchen worktop in your Reigate home which will be loved for many years to come. For more information call us on 01293 863992

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.
