GRANULAR QUARTZ WORKTOPS: ENTRY-LEVEL WITH CLASS

Marble-look worktops, mirrored, sparkly quartz worktops – they are very popular and much has been written about them. But what are the pros and cons of granular quartz worktops?

Contemporary Looks: Granular means grainy – but the grain is hardly visible once you stand back from the worktop. On modern designs, granular quartz worktops meld into a smooth, single colour look that is striking and cool.

Liveable Practicality: Zoom in close and you can see the grain. That texture is what makes these tops so practical. From a distance, a super-smooth worktop won’t look a lot different – but close up it will show every speck of dust and every finger smear. Granular quartz worktops really are practical in day to day use.

Reliable Durability: Granular quartz worktops were among the earliest quartzes around on the market. As such, issues with production have been ironed out, and these stones are great performers, year in and year out. It is VERY rare to get issues with any of these more basic stones – it’s the new designs that always seem to run the risk of problems.

Fantastic value for money: Getting the grain out to make a super-smooth look, or putting in marbling or mirrors, is an expensive business. These granular quartz worktops are straightforward to make, and therefore economical for the consumer.

Value for money is a big draw with granular quartz worktops – and all the more so this March with our special offer. As an introductory offer on Global Crema and Compac Cenisa, and as a straightforward cost reduction on Quarella Blanco Paloma, we are putting all three of these excellent stones into our lowest price band for one month.
