Why use Quartz?
Quartz is often used in kitchen and home worktops due to its sophisticated appearance and durability, similar to the properties of granite worktops.
Because quartz is made primarily from natural stone, no two quartz slabs are the same. This means you can choose from a multitude of different colours and patterns and have something truly bespoke in your home, something that no one else in the world can claim to have.
Quartz kitchen worktops are also incredibly hard-wearing and virtually maintenance-free, making quartz the perfect material to use in busy areas of the home like the kitchen or bathroom. Want to know more about our quartz kitchen worktops? Get in touch and speak to one of our experts today.

Quartz Worktops
How are quartz worktops made?
Our quartz worktops are engineered using a mixture of quartz, resins and colours. Quartz minerals are ground and fused with resin, and then we use heat and pressure to produce a stunning slab of quartz. Colour pigments will then be added to the worktop to enhance its attractive aesthetic. This means that you can design some elements of your quartz kitchen worktop, making it truly bespoke to your tastes.
Modern and sophisticated appearance
Quartz worktops have a lot of aesthetic appeal for homeowners as they look very stylish and sophisticated, and they give a really modern feel to a living space.
You can choose from a range of quartz styles depending on your unique tastes. Whether you’re looking for a rustic look or something more traditional, quartz can be suitable for so many different types of kitchen styles.
With quartz, you can expect the aesthetic to be totally cohesive as patterns will be symmetrical and immaculate.
Low maintenance
Due to the non-porous and hard nature of quartz, surfaces are easy to clean and maintain as stains do not seep into the materials and do not require regular resealing. This makes it easier to maintain than other types of surface materials, like marble.
Quartz worktops are also heat and scratch-resistant, making them an ideal choice for those who are always busy preparing hot and complicated dishes on the countertop.
Durable
Quartz worktops are extremely durable and have non-toxic and non-porous properties, making them far more resistant to staining, wear and tear and general damage. This means that quartz worktops can remain a permanent kitchen fixture for many years to come.
In a busy home, durability and protection from damage is a necessity.
Boosts home value
Quartz worktops are very popular due to their high-quality, premium appearance. This makes them attractive to potential buyers, which means that having a quartz worktop will give you a great return on your investment in the future should you choose to move.

Can cleaning products damage the quartz?

How do I get rid of stains on my quartz worktop?
To remove stains that cannot be removed by wiping them down, we recommend using a non-abrasive cleaning pad and quartz cleaning product. White, black and grey quartz worktops can be susceptible to stains when coming into contact with foods and liquids. For more stubborn stains, scraping with a utensil can help ease the process.
How can I prevent discolouration of my quartz worktop?
To avoid discolouration, you should try to clean up any spills as soon as they occur and make sure that you put down a cutting board rather than chopping directly on the surface. You should also avoid putting hot pans directly onto the surface as this can give it a discoloured appearance over time.
