Affordable luxury with granite kitchen worktops in Surrey

The luxury of granite kitchen worktops in Surrey is no longer the privilege of the few. Good-looking, durable and easy to maintain, Granite provides the ideal surface for a kitchen which is designed for high-activity or as a pristine haven of calm.

During mining, blocks of granite are separated from the bedrock where the stone has formed, extracted and then sliced into slabs with the use of high technology diamond wire saws. The improvement in accuracy and speed in the cutting process has significantly reduced the cost of the initial fabrication, reflecting favourably on the end price, while ensuring a high quality product. Polishing the slabs before transportation brings the shine and natural beauty of the granite to life, creating a stunning visual effect to complement any kitchen design scheme.

Although the granite slabs are generally separated into relatively small batches before shipping to ensure consistency in colour and pattern, nevertheless each piece will be unique, providing the aesthetics for kitchen countertops which are not only stylish but also have originality. Affordable Granite in Surrey source and purchase stone only from reputable wholesalers, with the assurance that rigorous quality control has been undertaken throughout. By purchasing in bulk, cost savings achieved can be of considerable benefit to customers, bringing granite kitchen worktops in-line with the average budget.

Introducing quartz kitchen worktops in Sussex

Affordable Granite would like to introduce you to the beauty and functionality of quartz kitchen worktops in Sussex. If you have been impressed with stone work surfaces installed in other kitchens, you may be surprised to know that what you have believed to be granite is actually quartz, which is an engineered product.  During the manufacturing process with advanced technology, quartz can be produced to replicate natural stone, such as granite and marble. Although there won't be the originality in the veining movement or mineral content throughout the slab, nevertheless the extensive colour range available provides the opportunity to create a stunning kitchen space.

Quartz kitchen worktops have the advantage of being non-porous, due to the resin used to bind the minerals together during manufacture. This gives a work platform ideal for hygienic food preparation, with resistance to the growth of mould and bacteria and unlike granite, there is no need to seal the surface. Quartz is easy to maintain and with routine care and gentle cleansing, countertops will continue to look pristine for decades, proving to be a wise long-term investment. 

Within the interior design scheme, your quartz work surfaces are likely to be the focal point in the kitchen, whether this is a muted and subtle affect, or a kick of dramatic colour. The inclusion of pigments and a small percentage of metallic flecks of recycled glass during production results in a wide range of shades and visual affects. 

Selecting the shade and pattern of quartz is generally considered to be the fun element when remodelling an outdated kitchen or installing a completely new one, but Affordable Granite are dedicated to ensuring the end-to-end process is enjoyable and stress-free. Advice is available from the friendly and professional team at every step of the installation, ensuring your budget is respected and the finished kitchen meets all your aspirations.
