Types of Kitchen Worktops
We supply and install granite and quartz worktops, with ranges to suit every budget and style, in a wide range of colours and patterns. Let’s explore the benefits of each.
Quartz Kitchen Worktops
Quartz is by far the most popular choice for kitchen worktops. Our ranges of high-quality quartz worktops are expertly engineered from natural quartz, bound with resins to create an extremely strong and hardwearing material. They have a consistent finish that captivates with their beautiful finish. Quartz is a more cost-effective option than granite and is more robust.
Quartz is ideal for use in busy kitchens and will withstand the rigours of daily life. It’s non-porous, scratch-resistant, and heat-resistant, and is easy to maintain. With a wide range of colours and patterns to choose from, we’re confident that you’ll find the perfect one for your home.
Quartz is more expensive than wood or laminate but will last longer and keep its good looks for years. To ensure a perfect finish, it is essential to have it fitted professionally.
Granite Kitchen Worktops
Granite is an igneous rock and is very desirable for its unique beauty. Each slab is different and it comes in a range of eye-catching patterns and colours. Granite offers both style and functionality while remaining scratch, chip, and stain-resistant. Some granite ranges do require treating with a sealant to keep them looking their best and for them to remain non-porous.
Our range of granite worktops are available in a range of colours and textured finishes.
The installation of granite worktops requires expertise, and should not be undertaken by untrained fitters. At C&J we offer professional installation to ensure your new worktop is fitted to perfection.
What Are the Most Durable Kitchen Worktops?
Quartz is the most durable kitchen worktop material, renowned for its resistance to scratches, heat, and stains. It’s a popular choice for homeowners looking for a resilient and long-lasting kitchen worktop.
What material is more affordable?
Quartz is more affordable than granite, and we stock a variety of options to suit all budgets. Cheaper worktops like wood and laminate may need replacing more often, are much less hardwearing, and can cost more in the long run.
Before choosing your worktop, consider your home and family situation. Are you looking for easy-care, hardwearing worktops, or is the aesthetic more important? Is your kitchen multifunctional, used for different age ranges and purposes? Whatever your needs, we have the perfect worktop.
