The affordable luxury of quartz kitchen worktops in Crawley

High ranking on the wish-list, choosing quartz for your kitchen worktops in Crawley is no longer budget busting, with prices now comparable to other materials such as marble or granite. As quartz is an engineered stone, you won't find the same “one of a kind” visual appeal but don't be mislead by the term 'engineered'. This isn't a synthetic imitation of granite and certainly doesn't play second fiddle.

The quartz slabs used for your kitchen work surfaces contain a high percentage of quartz crystals which have been ground and then combined with other minerals and polymer resins. The inclusion of resin results in a product which is non-porous and impervious to staining, with no requirement for sealing.    

Quartz has a lot going for it in terms of durability, bacteria resistance, breathtaking beauty and could easily be mistaken for a natural stone as it can mimic the patterns and striations found in granite and marble. When pigments are added to the compound, the colour palette is extensive, giving a broad scope for interior design ideas and creative vision. Ranging from neutral and earthy to bold and bright, the only limitation is your imagination.

With the modern life style, kitchens are increasingly becoming multi-functional and are far more than just an area for food preparation behind a closed door. Whatever your budget, this is a long-term investment and you will want your worktops to continue to have the wow factor for years to come.

So how do you ensure you're making the right choice? Quartz slabs can be viewed in the Affordable Granite showroom and workshops where time-served craftsmen and the design team and are on hand to offer impartial advice throughout the selection process and through to the final installation. There is never a one style fits all approach and Affordable Granite are committed to ensuring your aspirations for a fusion of quality, functionality and artistry reflecting the personality of your home and living habits is achieved, on time and within budget.

What's hot for your granite kitchen worktops in Crawley

If you are looking for an original feature in your kitchen space, the uniqueness of granite for your kitchen worktops in Crawley takes centre stage and provides not only an element of nature, but also introduces a striking simplicity in design. Granite has a timeless appeal, giving the opportunity to add a new dimension to cabinetry by combining classic and contemporary styling.

Although all-white kitchens have been favoured, the trend towards bolder colours for the base units is growing. The natural composition of Granite work surfaces with muted tones and a subtle diversity of patterns, pairs beautifully with contrasting colour palettes, adding visual interest. White on white however, will continue to feature and stand the test of time, especially in the smaller kitchen or where there is a fusion with the living/dining area's design scheme.

As granite is extremely durable and a long-term investment, although it may be tempting to follow a current trend, an eye should also be focused on the future.

As each slab will be one of a kind, it's always advisable to view the stone in the Affordable Granite showroom in order to confirm that you are happy with the way in which the veining and pattern flows throughout the granite and that any natural imperfections which are present are acceptable in the layout of your kitchen plan.

The modern kitchen is generally a hive of activity, far more than a food preparation area and consideration should be given to not only your current lifestyle but also to the future marketability. Affordable Granite's highly skilled craftsmen have all the expertise and commitment to ensure your dream kitchen will give you pleasure for many years to come.
