Quartz Worktops in Horsham

 

If you are upscaling your kitchen and are considering installing quartz worktops in Horsham, you will want to know that you are making a wise investment. Over recent years, quartz has become a great option as an alternative to natural stones. It offers a blend of durability, stunning aesthetics, and low maintenance, making it an excellent addition in any style of kitchen.

Specialist Stone Fabricators Affordable Granite are locally-based in Charlwood, Surrey with more than 20 years of experience in the supply and installation of high-grade quartz kitchen worktops in Horsham and the areas beyond. Professional advice will be easily accessible throughout your kitchen project, to ensure you have all the information needed to make the right decision to achieve your vision. There are several prime benefits of quartz over granite or marble:

1. Strength and Durability

Quartz worktops are engineered using approximately 90-95% crushed quartz crystals combined with binding resins and coloured pigments. This unique composition results in a surface that is significantly harder and more durable than natural stones. Unlike marble or granite, which can be porous and prone to chipping or cracking, quartz is highly resistant to impact, scratches, and everyday wear and tear.

2. Non-Porous and Stain Resistant

One of the key advantages of quartz is its non-porous nature. Granite and marble require periodic sealing to prevent liquid absorption and staining. In contrast, your quartz worktops won’t need sealing, as their non-porous surface naturally resists spills from coffee, wine, oil, and other culinary substances. This makes quartz a more hygienic choice in the food preparation area, as it also prevents bacteria and mould growth.

3. Low Maintenance

Maintaining quartz worktops is effortless. Unlike marble, which requires special cleaners to avoid damage, quartz can be cleaned with just mild soap and water, using a soft cloth. This is a bonus in a busy home as it means less time spent on upkeep.

4. Design Versatility

Quartz is available in a wide range of colours and patterns, including designs that mimic natural stones so closely the difference may not be visually apparent. This will allow you to achieve the aesthetics of marble or granite, with the added benefits of durability and ease of maintenance.

5. Uniform Appearance

While each slab of granite is unique, you may not be enthusiastic about the inconsistency of shades and pattern flow, or the natural imperfections. Quartz on the other hand, offers a consistent and uniform look, ensuring a seamless and elegant kitchen design.

Quartz is an engineered stone which has been produced under extreme pressure with the use of high-tech machinery. The manufacturing process combines a higher percentage of ground quartz crystals with polymer binding resins, a combination of other minerals and coloured pigments. This results in a surface which is more durable than natural stones such as granite or marble and is low maintenance. Genuine quartz should be consistent in colour and pattern within each slab from the same batch, with no variation in the base dye content. This avoids an obvious visual difference between the seaming of quartz slabs

However, the close monitoring of quality doesn’t end after manufacture and following the precise measuring and templating of the base cabinets,  highly skilled stonemasons undertake the fabrication and polishing of the slabs which the customer has pre-selected for their design scheme.
