High-grade bespoke granite kitchen worktops

You may have granite kitchen worktops on your priority list for your kitchen upgrade, but before you source the ideal stone, there are important elements that should be considered. Not all granite kitchen worktops on the market are high-grade stone, due to a variety of factors related to the sourcing, processing, and granite’s innate composition. Surrey-based,  specialist stone fabricators and kitchen worktop installers Affordable Granite, ensure customers have all the facts available, prior to committing to a final decision. 

Granite, a natural stone, is not only visually appealing, it’s also extremely hard-wearing, and choosing the best kitchen granite worktops will secure a long term investment. Since 2003, when the family-owned company was first established, Affordable Granite has achieved a high reputation for only supplying granite from trusted wholesalers at competitive prices, guaranteeing the stone will meet scrupulous quality control checks at every stage of the journey from extraction to kitchen.

Granite is sourced from quarries around the world, and the quality can vary significantly depending on the geographical location. High-grade granite typically comes from regions with stringent mining practices and prime mineral deposits and will tend to have fewer natural flaws or inclusions.

The way granite is cut and fabricated can also impact its condition. The stone slabs are cut with precision by highly experienced stone masons in the Affordable Granite workshops to ensure uniform thickness and a smooth surface, minimising the risk of cracks or weak spots. The polishing process is also critical, where the granite is finished to a high sheen, enhancing its unique veining and eclectic patterns with a light-reflecting luminosity. As granite has a degree of natural porosity, the application of a resin sealant provides a resistance to stains and scratches, delivering a hygienic kitchen granite worktop which is ideal for food preparation and daily culinary tasks in a multi-use area.

Customers are invited to visit the Affordable Granite workshops, where friendly and professional advice is always available to ensure all the relevant facts are available regarding the installation of their granite kitchen worktops. All aspects of your new kitchen project can be discussed, including your aspirations for creating the perfect balance between practicality and your chosen interior design theme. The end-to-end project will be completed by the in-house team of skilled craftsmen to ensure the highest level of customer service.  Call us today on 01293 863992 or use the Contact Form on our Website to get in touch.
