Worktop material?

5 years ago

Can you tell us what the worktops are made if? They look quite long and we are trying to decide what we can use in our own 3.4m kitchen island without having join or seam on it.

We would recommend using quartz worksurfaces as these are much more hardwearing and stain resistant and you get a much broader choice of finishes and colours. As quartz is manmade you can easily match tiles and splashbacks and you can also have matching quartz splashbacks as an option. Some quartz surfaces also include a built in anti-bacterial protection. We know Silestone have developed a formula for this.

Hi Jackie, Might be a little late to help but how is it getting on? There's a couple of things that can be done to test and eliminate the problems. Firstly to eliminate that it's water staining you should get a hair dryer and place it onto the stains, if the marks disappear or get better but come back within a couple of days then it's water staining (stains come back as only the water close to the surface has been dried out). Now if the hair dryer doesn't work and the stains remain there could be 2 other issues: Soap stains - We've got a process that seems to work incredibly well but will require some explanation so try out the hair dryer first and let me know what happens. Silicon bleed - If the underside of the worktop hasn't been sealed properly then the silicon that the fitter used when fitting the sink basin will now be bleeding into the stone - unfortunately this is unfixable. By the way, if you've having trouble in having something done about this and we can get to the bottom of the staining of the stone we're happy to provide you with statements and verification if you wish to pursue the issue further. Nonetheless keep in touch with how things are getting on. Marius

You don’t have to go all out to give your kitchen a fresh new look. If your units are still in good condition, a cheaper and easier option would be to just update the work surfaces. We have a range of different worktop materials available, including quartz, corian, wood, granite, glass and laminate. And this doesn’t have to be the same throughout the kitchen. Contrasting materials has become a very attractive choice in kitchen designs and this is not limited to the units. Why not create a contrast with a stone worktop and a wooden island worktop? Contact us to discuss options.
