SURFACES<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]\n<p class=\"bold-orange12\">There are some beautiful dark coloured kitchen units and doors available at the moment but not everyone who goes for a dark kitchen unit colour wants a dark worktop so there is a significant trend to use light, or even white, worktops.<\/p>\n<p>If white purity is what you are after then <a href=\"[url]\/quartz-worktops\/\">quartz worktops<\/a>\u00a0will be a good option for you.<\/p>\n<p>Quartz is a man-made material that is predominantly crushed stone with a small amount of resin added (about 8%). \u00a0As quartz is man-made, a greater purity of colour and vibrancy of colour can be achieved by adding colour to the resin. \u00a0Other elements can also be added such as mirror flecks or pieces of of glass and shell etc.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;19955&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]\n<p>With dark grey or black units you may wish to go for a white or off-white stone. \u00a0For a really pure white <a href=\"[url]\/silestone-quartz-worktops\/\">Silestone White Storm<\/a> or <a href=\"[url]\/compac-quartz-worktops\">Compac&#8217;s Absolut Blanc<\/a> are two of the whitest but most of the quartz companies produce something pretty pure white or nearly pure white e.g Bianco Puro by <a href=\"[url]\/arenastone-quartz-worktops\/\">Arenastone<\/a>. \u00a0 The purer whites tend to work out more expensive but it does depend on your individual requirements so it is worth contacting us as we can find the best product for your particular circumstances and budget.<\/p>\n<p>If you choose a stone worktop with a little bit more fleck then the price will come down but the overall impression of the worktops will still be pretty white and you will gain consistency and uniformity of pattern to keep that really sleek contemporary look. \u00a0Try looking at Luna by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.affordablegranite.co.uk\/compac-quartz-worktops.html\">Compac<\/a>, Arcadia by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.affordablegranite.co.uk\/cimstone-quartz-worktops.html\">Cimstone<\/a>, Asti Bianco by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.affordablegranite.co.uk\/arenastone-quartz-worktops.html\">Arenastone<\/a> or Divinity white by Diresco.<\/p>\n<p>If you want a bit of \u201cbling\u201d then try Bianco Stelline by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.affordablegranite.co.uk\/arenastone-quartz-worktops.html\">Arenastone<\/a>, Bianco Stella by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.affordablegranite.co.uk\/silestone-quartz-worktops.html\">Silestone<\/a>, and Lactea by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.affordablegranite.co.uk\/compac-quartz-worktops.html\">Compac<\/a>. \u00a0Nearly all manufacturers have sparkly quartz within their range in Black, Dark Blue, Red, Cream and White but there are out there also Light Blue, Citrine, Rose, Brown\u00a0 and probably others too!<\/p>\n<p>Cream coloured quartzes are also very popular with dark wood effect doors and stripy dark work doors. \u00a0There is a huge choice from off-white\/cream through buttermilk and cappucino colours to deep honey beige and sandy colours.<\/p>\n<p>There are also some fairly plain stone worktops with the barest hint of a sparkle like Coco by Compac or those with much more pattern such as Crema Sasso from Arenastone. \u00a0 Cimstone do a good value cream called Oasis. \u00a0 It is worth remembering that is is the more sparkly options that are more expensive.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;20106&#8243;

uniformity is not your thing and you are looking for something completely unique \u2013 a piece of worktop that you literally won&#8217;t see anywhere else &#8211; then a granite would be the right choice for you. \u00a0 As granite is a completely natural stone, no piece is the same. \u00a0 \u00a0 However, light coloured granites are generally very variable so it is always best to try and view the actual batch or block that you are interested in first.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"[url]\/kashmir-white-granite\/\">Kashmir White<\/a> granite is absolutely stunning with large rivers of colour running through it in shades of grey\/black where the background colour is predominantly a winter white (this can vary through cream or even slightly greenish white). \u00a0It has small red\/brown spots that look fabulous with wine, burgundy and ruby coloured doors and with the dark reddish woods like cherry and walnut. The greys in Kashmir White mean that it also goes beautifully with dark or dove grey units and black doors.<\/p>\n<p>There are other white granites that are plainer than Kashmir White e.g Panna Fragola but even the plainest white granites will be a lot more flecky than the purer quartz materials. \u00a0It is also worth noting that granites will require greater maintenance than quartz as. depending on the stone you choose, you will need to reseal the granite with stain impregnator every now and then. \u00a0Larger patterns and worktops with striated patterns are also more likely to show joins.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like a lighter granite but not a white then there are lots available. \u00a0 \u00a0A good supplier will be able to give you advice and point you in the right direction to ensure that you choose the best solution for your needs.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of the darker woodgrain effect doors go well with creamy goldy colours \u2013 a good granite to go with these is <a href=\"[url]\/kashmir-gold-granite\/\">Kashmir Gold<\/a> which is much warmer in tone to the Kashmir White and can vary from subtle honey hues through to a deep rich golden yellow which will brighten the darkest kitchen units!<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;23589&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;15808&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243; el_class=&#8221;WEDO_sidebar&#8221; offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-xs&#8221;][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text] There are some beautiful dark coloured kitchen units and doors available at the moment but not everyone who goes for a dark kitchen unit colour wants a dark worktop so there is a significant trend to use light, or even white, worktops.
