Quartz Is A Great Choice For Kitchen Worktops When you are redesigning your kitchen, one of the most important consideration is the worktops. This is because they have to be durable and withstand a constant workload. At the same time, worktops, together with splashbacks, take up quite an amount of space in the kitchen, so they need to look great as well. As with the floor, they are in a horizontal plane, and this has the effect of making them stand out.
Of course, choosing your worktops can be something of quandary because there are so many different materials from which to choose. Do you want a single colour, and if so, what should it be? Would you prefer something with patterns and swirls in it, as so many natural stones have? Do you want something that is easy to clean? If you spill something on the surface, will it stain it? Is it OK to put hot pans straight from the hob or oven on it? Does it matter? Will it scratch if you chop foods on it? After all, you are using it to prepare foods, and that often means cutting them up, even if it is only chopping up carrots, lettuce, potatoes, tomatoes, radish, and so on.
As you can see, once you start to think about it, choosing kitchen worktops is no easy matter.
The different materials available include wood, stainless steel, natural stone, man-made stone, toughened glass, laminates, cement, and more.
As you might guess, at Marble & Granite we favour stone worktops in London, and there are several of those from which to choose. In fact, more people today are choosing stone worktops over other materials, and they can be natural stones such as marble, granite, quartzite, limestone, and so on, or they can be man-made stone such as quartz and sintered stone.
