7 years agoHi. I do think marble would look great with the wood and units as seen in this DeVol kitchen. Were you looking at real marble or a Quartz? Are there any other areas where you can cut money? If not have you considered a marble laminate? Not knowing the kitchen design but is it possible to use 2 worktop materials i.e. a cheap one and an expensive one?

Comments (30)Generally it has to be Quartz, though we do love others, as sometimes they can give the right feel for the design you want. Different metals can look amazing and Quartz can't replicate these. We are just starting a project that has mainly Quartz but one side of the island will be copper . . . Can't wait to see the finished look...See MoreHow to choose a kitchen worktop: manmade or natural stone?
Comments (16)@NG sintered stone is like a porcelain and so the edge and the sink cut out will be plain and polished. In the same way any drainer grooves will be plain plus most sintered stone is so thin that the drainer grooves probably aren’t very deep or very effective. Speak to your kitchen designer to find the best option: Over mounted sink with drainer Flush fit sink with drainer Under mounted sink with drainer. Multi level sink with accessories that act as a drainer. Sink and drainer manufactured in the worktop material...See MoreChanging colour of wooden kitchen worktop
Comments (6)I think you've been given bad advice by the wood staining company. I have a wooden worktop in one of my rentals, so, I need to make that look good every time someone new moves in. It's a standard wood block worktop. It used to be a pale to mid tone colour. I decided that it would look a little more contemporary to go dark to match new flooring that I put in. I washed it down with meths to start with to remove as much of the old stain as possible and then let it dry for a couple of days. I then sanded it back down ( not easy around the sink, but do'able ). I then put on a new dark stain and oil, Osmo tint ( Terra ). Sorted and looks great. It was originally this colour, then faded due to the glass roof:- This is it sanded back, re-tiled and prepped:- As you see it's much lighter. It then got stained and oiled twice:- I must confess, that Mrs Math did the brunt of that project, she did all the tiling and stain / oil, I just did a bit of sanding one day and then went off to another job. Well done Mrs Math!...See Morefaded kitchen worktop
Comments (8)That worktop is solid surface. No cleaning products will take that back to when you purchased it colour wise. Solid surface finishes work differently to laminate. You need to sand it back starting at 80 grit using a sander with a oscillating disc not by hand. Then work your way down from 80 to 120 to 240, 400, 500 and 600 if it isn’t changing colour. You need all the different grits to work it down. That’s the only chance you have of getting the colour back. You have around 5-6mm of thickness to work with and then you are back to chipboard....See MoreJonathan
