WORKTOPS

The finishing touch of any kitchen is the worktop, carefully chosen will complement your choice of furniture to create that perfect space you’ve always dreamt of. We will work with you to discuss the pros and cons of each option available, be it quartz, Neolith, granite, Corian, wood or laminate.

Working with a wide range of well-known brands we ensure that whichever material chosen, you get the very best in terms of quality and value for money. Worktops are an integral part of the kitchen and need to complement your chosen design. Whether you prefer the diverse choice of colours available in laminate, the natural beauty of wood or the hardwearing sophistication of granite, we can offer you a wide selection of styles and finishes.

QUARTZ

Quartz worktops are fabricated from natural quartz, one of the hardest minerals found in the earth, small amounts of glass or metallic flecks are added to create variety, resulting in beautiful worktops. Another advantage of quartz is that it is a non-porous material, its texture does not allow bacteria to grow and resists against stains, protecting your family and making kitchen clean-up easy. For this reason, quartz worktops never need to be sealed.

Aside from the durability that quartz provides, this material is beautiful and its wide variety of colour options are sure to catch your eye. The choice of a quartz worktop not only brings character to your kitchen but offers performance advantages that exceed other traditional materials.

NEOLITH & DEKTON

Neolith and Dekton are two different brands which are both part of a revolutionary new option for a man made stone called Ultra Sintered Technology. It is a fusion of what is known as a Ceramic and Porcelain mixed with quartz, feldspar, glass and silica. It is super-heated and ultra-compressed to produce an extremely durable stone.

There are many benefits of using this new technology as an option for your worktops. Neolith and Dekton worktops are highly scratch resistant and impact resistant. They are resistant to very high temperatures; you can even place a pan directly from the hob straight onto your work surface, unlike quartz or granite where you need to use a trivet. It is non-porous so will not stain and also bacteria are unable to thrive.

GRANITE

Another of the most commonly used materials for worktops is granite. Like quartz, this material is also very resilient. Granite is a natural rock that is cut in its natural state and is then polished for use in homes. Regular maintenance is suggested to prevent staining with granite.

Such a strong material is difficult to scratch and is able to resist temperature changes. Because it is natural stone, granite doesn’t provide as wide of a range of colour options and each piece is different.

CORIAN

Corian® is the original solid surface material. Created to last a lifetime it is a unique blend of minerals and acrylic which creates a stone-hard surface that can be shaped to meet any design or dimension.

Corian® is an advanced composite of natural minerals and pure acrylic polymer and is backed by DuPont™ with a 10-year Limited Installed Warranty.

Corian® is non-porous and can be fabricated without visible joins. Its smooth surface does not allow liquids to penetrate and that makes it easy to clean. Bacteria and mould have nowhere to take root. When Corian® looks clean, it really is clean.

GLASS SPLASHBACKS

Glass panels can be subtle or make a dramatic style statement. A neutral colour will blend into its surroundings, while an eye-catching image or bright pattern will be the focal point of a room.

Glass works in both traditional and contemporary interiors and its versatility makes it the ideal counterpoint to many other materials – both natural and man-made – and it complements a wide range of interior styles.
