Sintered Stone
Sintered stone is a matrix of minerals heated (sintered) to form a solid impenetrable slab material.
Thanks to the creation process, Sintered stone has a surface that is extremely difficult to etch, scratch, burn or stain.
To discuss using sintered stone for your bespoke kitchen worktop, call our expert team on 01929 550653.
Granite
Granite is an natural stone made up of primarily quartz, feldspar, micas, amphiboles, and a mixture of additional trace minerals.
Due to the nature of Granite worktops they come in a variety of finishes, colours and patterns making each slab completely unique.

Quartz Stone
Manufactured Quartz Stone is a manmade stone formed by combining ground quartz with resins, polymers, and pigments.
A quartz kitchen has all the advantages of granite but does not have the variation in colour and pattern that occur with a natural stone.

Caring for Your Stone Kitchen Worktops
Both granite and marble are porous and should be sealed before installation as this will give the necessary protection for use in the kitchen and bathroom. Quartz, however, is a more stain resistant material and does not require sealing. The following are the basic instructions for keeping your bespoke stone kitchen worktops looking their best:
Always mop up spills immediately, this will avoid any difficult to remove stains appearing. Acidic substances like wine, coffee, fruit juices, tomato sauce and sodas can etch the surface and cooking oils may soak into the surface if left for a prolonged length of time.
You can clean the worktop material using a sponge with soapy water or a soft cloth. Soapy water may over time leave a residue on the surface of the material dulling the polish, so rinsing off soap is recommended. A clear uncoloured household antibacterial surface spray may also be used and wiped dry after spraying. Always try a small are first. To bring the shine up we advise using the spray that is provided when we install. Replacements are available through our showroom.
The use of trivets or coasters is recommended for placing hot pans on the counter tops. This will prevent damage to the polished surface. The use of Trivets is appropriate for all types of counter top surfaces not just those made of natural materials.
Always use a chopping board to prepare food on and a pastry board for rolling pastry. This will prolong the life of your countertops.
