I need help to remove the watermarks from my black quartz worktops.
Comments (0)Please can someone help me with a tried and tested solution for removing water marks from my black quartz kitchen worktops. I've tried Method Daily Granite Cleaner and Lakeland Worktop Wonder, both of these products buff the granite up to a shine, but they don't actually remove the marks....See MoreSolid wood worktops varnish help !!
Comments (5)Oil will not keep a shine. It penetrates the wood and is used to keep the wood from drying with the heat of the kitchen, it prevents it from splitting and prolongs the life of the wood whilst still letting it breathe, ie contract and expand with different temperatures, as that is what wood does. There is no reason why you can't varnish your wood, you need to pick a very hard wearing Floor varnish. However, you still meet with the same disadvantages with oil............as soon as you put something hot on the surface it will leave a mark. Oil or varnish make no difference with regards food prep, you shouldn't prep on either! You will mark the wood, however, from a hygiene perspective a varnished surface is actually better because it's sealed. Most people will choose to prep and dish onto boards of either more wood or glass. I think most people think that by choosing wood they can do what they like to it, pan and heat wise............it's not the case. The only surfaces that are not affected by heat are natural stone....See MoreWorktop Help - Modern Kitchen Granite?
Comments (4)On a purely aesthetic level the granite can definitely work in a modern kitchen. That stone is lovely so personally I would just choose the one you like the most. I would add the following though - There is a big trend for quartz now that looks like marble - the main reason being that as a rule of thumb natural stone (not just marble) that is light in colour tends to be more porous than darker stone. Porous means possible stains and marks from things like oil and even water. Natural stone is sealed with a sealant to attempt to overcome this but it isn't always 100% successful. Quartz however doesn't need sealing so it tends to be easier to maintain but some brands may be slighlty more susceptible to chipping. Speak with your stone supplier for clarification to help you decide....See Morehelp!! kitchen worktop
Comments (15)Thanks all. When the templater came he confirmed there would be a 25mm overhang, so I assumed it would be over the posts too. They didn’t give me any drawings to ‘sign off’. I’ve had such a nightmare with my kitchen...the company I bought the units from we’re awful-wrong at every turn and everything messed up-really stressful and took a year to sort (no kitchen and 3 kids😱). I just wanted this done and thought it was really simple job...feeling very naive...and disappointed....See More
