What is quartz and why are they good to make a worktop?

Quartz worktops are non-porous, durable, heat and scratch resistant, and do not require sealing, making them extremely low-maintenance. Quartz worktops have become the kitchen worktop of choice for many homeowners due to its longevity as well as its aesthetic advantages. Quartz is a high-end composite material that is popular as a kitchen worktop due to its durability and stain resistance, making it ideal for even the most demanding kitchens. Quartz has the advantage of having a wide spectrum of consistent colours due to the modern technology utilised to create the stone. We offer a minimum 15-year warranty on all of our products as an official quartz supplier, giving you peace of mind that the material will last.

One of the most sought-after high-end worktop materials is quartz. When you consider the quality of several other worktop material competitors, that’s saying a lot.

What are Corian worktops? 

Corian is a solid, versatile, functional, and long-lasting material. It’s a rock-solid material that’s a popular choice for kitchen worktops because of its strength and durability. Corian is made out of a third acrylic resin and two-thirds natural minerals, resulting in a remarkably durable substance.

Countertops made of quartz are more scratch- and heat-resistant than those made of Corian. Quartz and Corian are both long-lasting materials, although they have different heat and scratch resistance. In fact, the most significant difference between these materials is their heat resistance. This is why many people opt for quartz over a Corian worktop. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us at Chiltern Marble for more information on worktops in Bedfordshire.

Are quartz worktops more expensive than granite?

Today, there isn’t much of a pricing difference between granite and quartz. Quartz is chosen for its colour variety and aesthetic worth rather than its cost, and you can do the same. Quartz countertops are often more durable than granite worktops, and they also have the advantage of being more adaptable. This makes them ideal for longer worktops, especially those with huge cutouts for sinks and stoves. During the installation procedure, quartz is also often easier to work with. Quartz worktops are not inexpensive, but they are well worth the investment. There are a variety of other worktop materials available, such as laminate, which can be more cost effective if you only need something for a limited period of time.

In a kitchen, granite worktops are a sign of quality and add a sense of class, elegance, and refinement. Because the work surface is the most visible feature in a kitchen, a well-fitted piece of excellent granite truly completes a kitchen project in the best possible way. When compared to the limited variety most people are normally presented by a kitchen designer, many people are shocked to find the diversity of colours available. This is why granite kitchen worktops are very popular across Bedfordshire and the rest of the UK. Get in touch with us at Chiltern Marble for more information on creating a design using the right materials for your kitchen.

Which quartz worktops are best in the UK?

There are three distinct grades of quartz: first choice, commercial-grade, and second choice. These quartz grades influence total cost, durability, and beauty, as well as the overall value of your home. Quartz is a high-end composite material that is popular as a kitchen worktop due to its durability and stain resistance, making it ideal for even the most demanding kitchens. Quartz has the advantage of having a wide spectrum of consistent colours due to the modern technology utilised to create the stone.
