Why Quartz Worktops Are Worth It!
Engineered stones and Quartz materials are relatively new on the interior design scene, people often ask us: are quartz worktops as good as people say? Do they live up to the hype? Are they really worth it? At Griggs Masonry, our team of expert stonemasons carefully select each stone we stock and work with so we can say, hand on heart: yes, quartz is worth it. Below you’ll find just 5 of the dozens of reasons to invest in quartz worktops in your current kitchen or next project.
1. Quartz is incredibly practical
Stain-resistant, hard to chip, scratch or damage, food-safe and hygienic…the list goes on. Using one of the toughest materials in the world, quartz worktops have been designed to be practical and easy to use in any kitchen or bathroom situation. As they’re so robust, you don’t need to worry. Our Quartz worktops are very durable.
2. Quartz is easy to clean
As part of the manufacturing process, all of our stock Quartz worktop materials are fully sealed, rendered non-porous and completely food safe. This means that they will not absorb liquids, smells, food particles or any other substance – there is nowhere for germs to hide. As a result, bacteria and dirt can be wiped away quickly and easily with a damp cloth and our gentle Quartz care cleaner supplied with all installations.
3. Quartz is beautiful
There are hundreds of different colours, patterns and styles of quartz worktop available from stock at Griggs Masonry, and we firmly believe that we can supply one to suit any taste and style. Want something that looks like granite? We have it. Veined like marble? We have that too, suitable all over the home from kitchens to the bathroom. Thanks to modern manufacturing techniques, we can source quartz kitchen worktops in any shade to fit your specification.
4. Quartz is affordable
Yes, prices vary and yes, there are cheaper worktop alternatives out there. Ask us about our contract range of Quartz materials available at a great price point still with our 10 year warranty. The durability and practical functionality of stone, Quartz is a great budget-conscious choice. While the initial materials and installation costs are higher than for basic options like laminate. Quartz worktops supplied by Griggs Masonry will last decades.
5. Your quartz worktop will be made just for you
At Griggs Masonry, we survey, template, supply, manufacture and install all the worktops we make. This means that you get a fully bespoke service at an affordable price, giving you full control of how your worktop looks and fits. This is ideal if you’ve got an awkward shape to fit, such as uneven walls in a period property, or are trying to maximise space with non-standard fitting such as shallow cupboards or a curved breakfast bar. We are able to machine Quartz Worktops to any shape or form you require. Not forgetting the large range of colours we stock, and if we don’t have a colour, we can usually source it.
