At Victoria Marble, we template, supply and fit made to measure stone kitchen worktops in Ruislip and surrounding areas.
Types
Quartz is a man-made product, made of 93% natural quartz and 7% resin and pigments. The manufacturing process allows it to have the widest colour palette out of the three. You can find in its range anything from classic colours to the bold and unusual ones. It has a non-porous surface that will be hard to stain. It requires a very low level of maintenance and it is cleaned with just soap and water. Quartz worktops do not need sealing, unlike the other two.
Granite has been known as the material that resists heat the best. You can easily put away a hot pan or pot on it, without worries that it will get damaged. It is highly scratch resistant and cutting directly on it can dull your knives. Granite is 100% natural product, so its colour palette is limited to the colours found in nature. Every granite slab is different from the other, so you are always getting a unique product. You should seal granite worktops 1-2 times a year.
To many, marble is the most beautiful stone. It is recognizable by the veining, which can vary in length, thickness and colour. It will bring elegance and luxury to your kitchen no other material will. Marble absorbs heat quickly, making it an excellent choice for kitchen worktops. However, marble is porous and soft material- you should seal it 2-4 times a year. Use a cutting board at all times because it can get scratched easier.
