Grey Kitchen Worktop ideas please

7 years ago

We are building an extension to hold our new kitchen diner. We have a fairly dark but multi tonal wood flooring (pic attached) have one wall of cement effect large tiles, matt finish white units and are looking for a light grey kitchen worktop with an industrial (ish), textured (at least looking) finish and appearance. Actual cement seems a little high maintenance for us All the granites with a rough finish seem to be too dark, we don't want a laminate. The front runners are silestone volcano effect kensho and arena stone cemento. Any other ideas?

Many thanks,

Fi

Hi there,

Caesar stone does have a lovely cement grey option.

Have you had a look at Compac quartz? They have a new range out called the New York which includes 3 colours called zement. I believe they are called white zement, which is the lightest of the the 3, ice zement and grey zement. Some of the others in the range have speckles etc in them but the three mentioned, to us, look the most like a cement.

We hope this helps, please let us know if you have any other questions.

Hi. Have you looked at the tech collection?

Hi. Thanks so much. Yes, we have considered dekton and one of the tech range ones looks really good. We have so far only been able to view it online and in small samples so it would be good to see a slab. Thanks so much again, that's just the sort of thing we're after.

Hi, I actually like it the colour it is. I love Farrow & Ball colours! But if you fancy a change, have you thought about just re painting the island units as a bit of a contrast? Maybe in a darker grey colour? (I completely understand the 'not being able to make a decision', I had a baby last year & it used to take me an hour to decide what to eat for lunch....never mind choose a kitchen colour!)

Thanks, but there isn´t really a windo sill. All there is is the thickness of the widow surround, which is a couple of millimeters. I really would like to find something htat will just go along the join where the walls meet the worktop. I´m sure there must be some kind of trim that is commonly used.

In my opinion it is the saturation level of the paint that is the problem. The beauty of your kitchen is the natural flooring and the wooden worktops, it looks earthy. This is swamped by the blue paint, it just looks wrong. Without seeing the cupboard door colours close up it is tricky but I would suggest looking for something a bit darker than the cupboards but with the same hue. If you want a strong contrasting wall a deep olive green would work as it would balance the wood and the purpley greys.

Hi, Have you also considered quartz? There are a huge number of quartz brands to look at: Silestone, Ceasarstone, Cimstone, Quartzforms, Technistone & Compac are just a few we stock. Also as suggested other man made materials such as Dekton or Lapitec. You can view Dekton slabs at your local Cosentino centre if that is any help.

Thank you. An arenastone is our current front runner and we have liked one or two of the silestones but find that in the volcano effect the crystally ones are too dark and lighter ones are a bit bland. So fussy. Really want something with texture, both to touch and to look at, but in a light grey. Will check out the others, thank you so much.

I'm going for the Compaq Ice Zement in the Glacé finish which if i find very smooth but still tactile .... i have a nice sample at home and recommend you see it in the flesh as i don't think you get a good sense of it when viewing it online or in a brochure.

Thanks for all the suggestions, yes the zements look good. Do any of the compacs or Caesar stones have a rougher finish rather than smooth finish, much like the suede or volcano finishes with silestone?

Yes Compac offer Glace (matte), Polished, Concrete (Matte & slightly textured but only available in the Concrete collection), Ovo (Honed) & Pergamo (Brush & Hammered). The Ovo and Pergamo are special order and aren't available on all colours so this is something you would have to check if you see a colour you like.

Caesarstone have 3 finish choices: Polished, Honed (Matte) and Viento (textured). Again you would have to check the chosen colour with Caesarstone to see if its available in the finish you like.

Hope this helps.
