How Composite Kitchen Worktops can give yourkitchen a better look
People get worried about the cost of a stone worktop for their kitchen, indeed commercial kitchens also worry about cost as they need a larger area of surface, to chop and keep clean. However there is a cheaper choice with as much quality as solid stone. This is by using a composite kitchen worktop instead. What is it? And will it look as good as solid stone worktops?
The answer to that is firstly composite kitchen worktops are made up of crushed quartz crystal and other crushed stone, then resin is introduced. The beauty of this is that you can choose your own design, with other stones the pattern design is fixed by nature, but with a composite kitchen worktop, you can choose your own so it makes it unique to you.
And of course it will look the same as other solid stone worktops, and even better if you choose your own design as we said.
The other thing is that you don’t have to apply any sealant as it’s non porous.
This also means that caring for the composite kitchen worktop will be simple, keeping it clean and looking as good as new after you have finished your culinary skills.
- Use a soft cloth with mild detergent and water.
- Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals.
- Don’t place hot pans directly on the surface.
The other benefit of using composite kitchen worktops is its durability and is well suited to households and of course commercial kitchens.
The other benefit is that investing in a composite kitchen worktop in your home which looks stylish can make your home more attractive to buyers and potentially increase its market value.
You may ask just how a composite kitchen worktop is made. Well, combining crushed quartz particles with resin binders and pigments, then compressing this mixture under high pressure to create a solid slab, essentially it’s being engineered into a stone-like material with the desired color and pattern which you could choose if you wish. The majority of the material is quartz, giving it exceptional hardness and durability.
There is nothing like having a kitchen worktop, far better than a laminated one. The look and feel are the first thing you notice, as well as the marbling, colour and style. In many houses especially where a kitchen makeover is taking place, the first thing that goes in the kitchen worktop.
This means it’s then easier to pick cupboards and bases that will fit in with the style and look of your worktop. Once installed and with the cupboard and bases fitted, the look of the kitchen will be transformed to look pleasing and a place you want to be in and in addition which you can then show your friends and neighbors. Your neighbors or family or friends may even ask where you obtained it from. Just point them in the direction of Coulon Stone, where we can assist them also.
