If you are planning to install quartz kitchen worktops in Haywards Heath, you will want reassurance that the finished project will meet your expectations. Upscaling an existing kitchen space or fitting a brand new one, ensuring everything will run smoothly and that you have made the right choice can be challenging. Affordable Granite is a leading fabricator and installer of stone kitchen worktops and has been advising and guiding customers step by step throughout the installation process for homes throughout the South East counties since the family-run business was founded in 2003.
Before you decide whether quartz kitchen work surfaces will be in-keeping with your lifestyle and aspirations, you may like to know more about this engineered stone. Unlike granite, quartz is not a natural rock which has been extracted from the quarry. It has been manufactured with advanced high-precision machinery where a high percentage of ground quartz crystals have been combined with other minerals, polymer binding resins and coloured pigments. This results in a highly durable product which replicates the patterns and shading found in granite, to the extent that for the untrained eye there may be no visible difference. Although the quartz slabs won’t have the uniqueness in visual appearance found in granite, you will have a worktop which will be hard wearing and due to the polymer resin content, the surface will be impervious to staining and resistant to the growth of mould and bacteria. This is a stone which is easy to clean and maintain.
The installation process begins with the customer supplying a simple sketch of the kitchen layout with rough measurements, marking any cut-outs for hobs and sinks. This will enable an estimate to be prepared and the completion of a quotation form will confirm the customer’s requirements and interior design theme. Once the formal quotation has been accepted, templating of the
base units will be carried out by skilled members of the team to determine precise measurements prior to fabrication of the kitchen worktops.
Quartz held in stock can be viewed by visiting the Affordable Granite workshops in Charlwood, Surrey where the perfect stone can be selected from a wide spectrum of colours and patterns to ensure your quartz kitchen worktops will be a stunning feature in the home. The stone you have selected will then be cut and polished before the final installation by the Affordable Granite in-house craftsmen. Call us today on 01293 863992 to find out more.
