Granite?

3 years ago

Hi. I wondered if you could recall the details of the worktop used on the island in the Cheshire Victorian Villa. It looks like granite but it's not a design I've come across so not sure where to look. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

Hi, it was a granite from our supplier near macclesfield in Cheshire. We took our client to the yard to select the perfect piece. It was quite a few years ago so would need to check the name in our archive files, we can do this when we reopen on the 1st September if you'd like us to do this?

Thanks

Thank you, the name would be brilliant if it's not too much trouble.

Hello haylescakes, I think it just need a bit of care.. I would definitely not mix it.. Granite, like Marble or any other luxury stone, even woods do need some attention.. I have bamboo and that too requires a bit of effort.... Wiping down and a regular re oil.. However I think it is really really worth it. Also it does last and would definitely look all the better for the little bit of effort.. I also made several chopping boards with off cuts!! Gr8 way to use up the material and useful too! For colours I would look to finding something lighter than black.. I think you could really go for something amazing... Firstly though think of the colours in the kitchen... If it's a blank canvas, so to speak and any colour would work... Ie you have white worktops... Then really go for something striking... I have just found a few colours from a company online that are quite interesting..I'd say do some research into pricing and ask for samples.. Or visit a showroom to get an idea... Get as many samples as you need before deciding.. I think the more natural looking as possible... Some of them can look manufactured.. You could also add a small splash back panel.. Narrow is quite tasteful, the have a really chalky matt paint on the walls and matt paint for the cupboards..... Lastly think of finish.. squared off edges are in my eyes more tasteful.. but you can look at that and decide what you like the look of :)) Cosmic black... Siena BordeauxVerde MarinaceKinawa

Hi. Here's a pic of how it would look (similar anyway!). It depends if you want the sink to stand out or for the worktop to look seamless. As you're going for a shaker have you consider a butler or Belfast sink?

That was the question, would anyone buy pre-cut granite is it worth the effort? The issue is taking out a kitchen is a messy business and propably more difficult if you are trying not to damage anything including me and my small flat! I have no idea at present what this size counter top would cost new or second hand so just posing the questions!

Hi Joane, it was River Valley White. The piece we found had lovely purple veining (which was quite unique) and inspired the choice of the Heather coloured Aga. Hope that helps. Fiona
