Question 1

What is the difference between Granite, Marble & Quartz?

Accepted Answer

Granite and Marble are natural products that take years to form, extracted straight from the earth. They are both completely natural. In contrast, Quartz is manmade. It consists of over 90% natural quartzite crushed and blended with colours, resins and sealants, with the remaining 10% comprising these.

Question 2

What makes Granite & Quartz a great material choice for kitchen worktops?

Accepted Answer

Next to Diamond, Sapphire and Ruby, Granite is the hardest natural product on earth. Once polished, natural granite will maintain its high gloss almost indefinitely. Sourced from all over the world, you are bound to find the right colour and pattern for your taste. Due to its natural form, each slab of granite is wonderfully unique.

Question 5

Do I need to seal quartz?

Accepted Answer

No, you don’t. Unlike Granite which may need sealing after 12-18 months, Quartz is manufactured with sealant in it. For advice and guidance on taking care of your granite worktop, please contact our friendly team by calling 0161 480 4676.

Question 6

Can I use Marble in my kitchen?

Accepted Answer

Marble, though beautiful to the eye and cool to the touch, is not the most suitable material for kitchens. Marble is susceptible to household acids, which can damage its polished finish upon contact. Additionally, being a softer stone than Granite, Marble is more prone to scratching compared to other stone options.

Question 7

What are upstands & splashbacks?

Accepted Answer

Upstands bridge the gap between your worktops and the wall, offering a sleek finish. They come in the same materials as your chosen worktops. Meanwhile, a splashback serves to keep the area behind the hob neat and tidy. Crafted from stone, it complements your worktops and requires minimal maintenance.
