Quartz Kitchen Worktops

Quartz is one of the strongest materials we supply. It is fabricated from the hardest naturally occurring materials. As it has been made rather than sourced, it is available in hundreds of colours and styles to make it easy to pick the perfect stone to suit your kitchen. It is also incredibly strong and hygienic, making it an ideal material for kitchen worktops. It also benefits from being non-porous so it's highly resistant to staining and scratching.

Although Quartz is very strong and resistant, it will require care to keep your worktops looking their best. We will provide full care instructions with your new kitchen worktops. Hot pots and pans will need to be placed on heat resistant mats to protect the worktops and they will need to be cleaned regularly to prevent staining.
