Quartz worktops as a great alternative for granite worktops
An alternative to stone countertops in the kitchen are those made with granite quartz. They are manufactured from natural stone aggregate, especially quartz and other substances that give it the right color, luster, hardness, and esthetic design. With a variety of range of service offerings, you can find quartz countertops with a polished, honed, or brushed surface. Quartz worktops’ appearance is similar to granite worktops, but they are less varied. Like marble and granite worktops, quartz surfaces are very durable, resistant, more lightweight, and flexible.
In addition, quartz worktops Preston can be glued seamlessly, shaped, and combined invisibly with sinks made of the same material. Plus, they are easy to clean – we can wash off most stains with a damp sponge and detergents and they are mostly resistant to acids, staining liquids, vinegar, etc.

We should also remember that similarly to granite worktops they are resistant to high temperatures – they can withstand temperatures up to 200 degrees Celsius and that is why we do not have to worry about possible damages after contact with hot dishes. Unfortunately, unlike stone countertops, quartz surfaces are a bit more prone to scratches and other mechanical damage, which we can correct very quickly by grinding. What is granite quartz is a lighter material than stone, which eliminates the necessity of reinforcing cabinets, on which the countertop is to be placed.
