Why Choose Quartz Worktops
Quartz worktops are non-porous, scratch and stain resistant and a popular choice with customers across London and the Home Counties. They are fabricated the same way as granite worktops using our hi-tech, computer aided, cutting equipment. They have a number of advantages over granite that attract our customers:
They generally carry a manufacturers guarantee to be non-porous so they don’t have to be sealed periodically like their natural stone counterparts.
Quartz worktops are maintenance free and easy to clean because of their slightly matt surface.
Quartz worktops have 4 times the flexural strength of granite and double the impact resistance. They also impressively outperform marble and limestone.
Because of this flexural strength, quartz can be installed in thinner slabs to save the impact of weight on your counter tops.
In larger sections, reducing the amount of joints on the surface is easier than with natural stone.
You can cut quartz as thin as 7mm which makes it perfect for large format wall cladding. It can also be used to cap an existing worktop.
