When you are choosing your quartz worktops, the options available may seem overwhelming. 

For the past two decades, Surrey-based Stone Fabricators Affordable Granite has been supplying and installing superb quality quartz kitchen worktops in Redhill and in properties throughout the South Eastern counties. Customers have the benefit of impartial and informed advice to ensure the right choice is made for what will be a value-added, long-term investment. Selecting the perfect quartz kitchen work surface for your interior design can be a transformative decision that elevates the aesthetics and functionality of your kitchen. Quartz is a popular choice for kitchen worktops due to its durability, versatility, and timeless appeal. However, finding the ideal stone involves the careful consideration of several key factors.

You will no doubt have a vision of the ambiance you want to create, in-keeping with the home personality and your lifestyle. You may want your kitchen to be a show-stopping focal feature, or a more low-key addition within the culinary space. Quartz is an engineered stone and is available in an eclectic range of colours and patterns, allowing you to find the perfect match for your interior decor. Consider the other kitchen elements, including the colour and material of cabinetry, flooring and walls. Whether you prefer a subtle, monochromatic look or a bold statement piece, quartz offers options to suit every taste.

                                                                      

The Affordable Granite team will be on-hand to advise at every step of your new kitchen project and quartz held in stock at their workshops in Charlwood, Surrey can be viewed and selected during your visit, giving you a clear vision of how your chosen stone will complement your home. Creating a mood board with fabric swatches, paint samples and cuttings from magazines, doesn’t require interior design skills and can be extremely helpful in creating exactly the right look and feel within the kitchen space.

Some quartz varieties mimic the natural veining and texture of marble or granite so closely, that to the untrained eye the difference not be apparent. Unlike a natural stone such as granite, providing the quartz slabs are from the same batch, they will be uniform in colour and pattern. The paler tones and subtle shades of quartz are ideal in a compact kitchen to give an illusion of space, with light-reflecting luminosity.

Quartz is known for its low maintenance compared to natural stone options. The addition of a binding resin during manufacture, results in a surface which is non-porous, easy to clean, resistant to stains and the growth of unhealthy bacteria. This provides a hygienic platform for food preparation and casual dining in an eat-in open-plan kitchen.

Every stage of your kitchen up-grade will be carried out with precision and care by the Affordable Granite skilled stone masons and experienced in-house installation team. Customer’s allocated budget is always respected and all pricing is transparent with no hidden costs. Call us today on 01293 863992 or use the Contact Page to get in touch.

Affordable luxury with quartz kitchen worktops in Redhill

 

When you are allocating funds for your new kitchen, your initial plan may be to choose the least expensive material for the work surfaces. This however can be a false economy if the countertops deteriorate in a relatively short period of time, compared with the longevity of a more durable stone surface. Affordable luxury with quartz kitchen worktops in Redhill, combines the key elements of long term functionality with stunning aesthetics. Quartz is a composite or engineered stone which has been manufactured with hi-tech machinery and combines ground quartz crystals with a lower quantity of other minerals, recycled materials, polymer binding resins and coloured pigments. This results in a surface which replicates the visual appearance of natural stones so closely that to the untrained eye, it may be difficult to see the difference. Affordable Granite are based in Charlwood, Surrey and have been supplying and fitting high quality stone kitchen worktops throughout the South Eastern counties since 2003.

 

  

Over the years, Affordable Granite has formed strong alliances with trusted and well-established wholesalers. The bulk purchase of stone enables the discounts achieved to be passed on to customers and the extensive choice of colour and patterns in stock quartz can be viewed and selected at the Surrey workshops. This is not only beneficial to reducing the purchase price, ordering from stock-held stone also considerably reduces the installation time. Unlike granite, quartz is consistent in shade and pattern throughout the slab and as long as the selected stone is from the same batch, there will be no visual variation. 

Quartz kitchen worktops are exceptionally hard-wearing and resilient to constant use in a high-activity home hub. The antimicrobial material makes this the ideal easy maintenance surface for hygienic food preparation and the polymer binding resin content inhibits the growth of mould and liquid infiltration. The coloured pigments injected into the stone during manufacture provide an eclectic range of shades and patterns which integrate beautifully with any interior design concept or size of kitchen.

Affordable Granite offer an end-to-end service and are members of The Worktop Fabricators Federation.
