Quartz Worktops – Adding better look to your Kitchen

1. Quartz Worktops – Adding better look to your Kitchen In years gone by, when you entertained friends to dinner, everybody sat down in the lounge - drawing room, or whatever you want to call it – while dad poured the drinks and mum was in the kitchen doing the cooking. When the meal was ready, everyone went to the dining room to eat, and afterwards went back to the lounge for a coffee and brandy or three. Today, that has all changed. The centre of attention is the kitchen. Guests arrive and head for the kitchen and everyone has pre-dinner drinks sitting at the kitchen table

Indeed, many families have extended their kitchens into the garden for the simple reason that a lot of kitchens were not very big and were unable to accommodate guests unless it was just a couple, such as the in-laws. The upshot of all this is that it has become very important to upgrade the kitchen so that it is a room of which you can be proud, rather than the one in which mum hid away from visitors while just doing the cooking. So many families are seeking to spend money in order to turn the kitchen into a place of entertainment rather than just a workplace. There are plenty of things that you can do, such as changing all the cabinetry and installing new appliances such as the latest all singing, all dancing, cookers and fridges. And of course, making certain that there is a TV on the wall! However, you don’t need to spend a small fortune on upgrading the kitchen. For example, your kitchen cabinets might be perfectly workable as they are, but it is just the doors that look tired and out of date. Why not just replace the doors? It will look as though you have new cabinets even if you don’t and will cost a lot less. What about appliances such as the dishwasher, washing machine, fridge, and freezer? Why not hide all those behind doors that match those of the cabinets? It will give the room an impressive look and you don’t need to spend any money on the latest pieces of kit.

3. Of course, there are one or two things that you can’t get away with, namely the floor and the work surfaces. Both are on a horizontal level, and as such catch the eye. You could tile the floor, which a lot of people do, and it can make life a lot easier because all it will need is a wipe over with a damp mop. It is also ultra-hygienic. When it comes to work surfaces you have a lot of choices. Many people opt for something like granite or marble because, as natural stones, every slab is different – different colours, different veining and swirls, and so on. Then again, other people prefer something that looks the same all the way through, and a good choice here is engineered quartz. This is a man-made product composed of 93% natural quartz aggregates – one of the hardest stones known - additional polymers, and pigments. Quartz worktops in Walthamstow are not only evenly coloured all the way through, with no veining or swirls, but are also incredibly hardy. They are almost unbreakable. Not only that, engineered quartz stone is as near perfect as it can get for use in the kitchen. It is available in a huge choice of colours and is totally non-porous. That means it cannot harbour any bacteria as some worktops can, and it is almost impossible to stain it, no matter what you may spill on it. In addition, quartz worktops in Walthamstow are almost impossible to damage by cutting or scratching, not that you should chop food directly on the surface. They also require no maintenance such as sealing, as some stones such as marble do, only needing a quick wipe over with a damp cloth in order to keep them looking perfect.
