Quartz Worktops Silestone Blanco Stellar - Crawley, West Sussex

Mr and Mrs R of Crawley chose Silestone Blanco Stellar to complement their contemporary gloss white units. A kitchen fitter himself, Mr R has worked with us on many installations over the years, and we expected nothing but the best workmanship in his own kitchen. This helps us so much: nothing makes for a good granite or quartz worktop installation than really good fitting of the units. There was no disappointment: kitchen units, floor and wall tiles and all finishing were all done to the best standard our photographer has seen.

Mrs R’s taste in purchasing coordinated accessories then also made this neutral-coloured kitchen the best-dressed. Ornaments, bins, kettle and toaster, blind, even kitchen roll holder, garden crocs and tea towels were all in coordinated rich reds – superbly done.

THE FINER DETAILS

Small but perfectly formed

Although we often fit worktops into very large kitchens, this installation was an example of a relatively compact layout, but fitted and decorated to absolute perfection. The design is both practical and beautiful.

Grey and white for colour flexibility

The combination of sparkly white and the soft grey of the tiling makes the kitchen bright but neutral for dressing in any colour.

Single sink layout

Simple undermounted sink with monobloc tap and parallel drainage grooves.

Worktop cut away at door

The worktop is angled over the bin area to allow ease of access at the door.

Hob and oven layout

Gas hob and electric oven by AEG.

Tightly rounded corners

The very contemporary style kitchen suits tight bevel corners, as opposed to the 20mm radius corners that we tend to make for more traditional units.

Silestone Blanco Stellar - popular and practical

As well as coordinating with any colourway chosen in dressing the kitchen, the white sparkly look of Silestone Blanco Stellar works well with all stainless steel or chrome fixtures, fittings and appliances.
