A home upscale with quartz kitchen worktops in Redhill will give you the best of both worlds, combining durability with outstanding visual appeal. Although this is a man-made engineered stone, a high percentage of natural quartz is combined with other minerals, polymer resins and injected with coloured pigments. The appearance mimics natural stones such as marble and granite, but quartz has the added benefit of a wider spectrum of colours and patterns, without the pitting and variance in shades and veining which form naturally within stones which have been extracted from the mine. The addition of the resin binder during manufacture provides the protection of a non-porous work surface which doesn’t need to be sealed. The lack of porosity restricts the growth of mould and bacteria and is stain resistant, requiring very little maintenance to ensure a safe and hygienic platform for food preparation and dining.

 

The kitchen has evolved over the years to become the home hub, often extending into an open-plan space with island and peninsula units and used for far more than the cooking of food. Perhaps now more than ever the kitchen commonly serves as a home office or study base with somewhere for the family to enjoy relaxed mealtimes. The colours and patterns in quartz kitchen worktops give a free-rein to the imagination for any interior design scheme, ranging from the subtle neutral and cool shades through to the bold and dramatic colours with prominent veining and striking patterns

 

 

Appointments can be made to view the quartz slabs held in stock at the Affordable Granite workshops, with the opportunity to discuss the vision for your new kitchen and how this can be achieved. All work is carried out by our experienced in-house team who are committed to ensuring you have a stunning kitchen which will enhance your home for many years to come. Call us today on 01293 863992

Harness the power of nature with granite kitchen worktops in Brighton

If you are considering installing granite kitchen worktops in Brighton, you may like to know more about this natural stone before making a long-term investment. Granite is formed by the power of nature deep underground as part of the continental crust and is the hardest of the natural stones. The strength and longevity makes this an ideal choice for kitchen work surfaces with the additional benefit of a stunning spectrum of colour and patterns relating to the specific mineral content and the slow crystallisation of cooling magma in the formation site. Affordable Granite are leading suppliers and installers of high quality granite kitchen worktops in Brighton and throughout the South East of England. Established in 2003, their in-house team of skilled craftsmen are respected for the exceptional level of bespoke service and attention to detail at every step of the process.

 

Unlike an engineered stone such as quartz, granite does have a degree of natural porosity. However, during fabrication granite is sealed with a polymer resin which provides protection from stains, liquid seepage or the growth of mould and bacteria. This results in a surface which is ideal for hygienic food preparation and meals served on island or peninsula units in a high functioning area. Re-sealing is an easy process which can be applied at home with the recommended product when required.  

Stone held in stock can be viewed by appointment in the Affordable Granite workshops in Charlwood, Surrey. Although each granite slab will be unique in colour and pattern, this will enable you to visualise how certain shades and speckles or swirls will best compliment your design scheme. Granite with bold and brighter shades can be used as a focal point or visual anchor with understated cabinetry, or the paler neutral hues to create a perception of light and space in a compact kitchen. Once polished, the stone will have a breathtaking luminosity with each granite slab reflecting an original example of nature’s art.

 

Affordable Granite respect that most customers have an allocated budget and although the rarer stones hold a premium price, granite held in stock is available at very competitive prices with the highest quality assured.  Call us today on 01293 863992
