Bespoke Fitted Kitchen Planners UK, Granite Worktops
When planning what your new Kitchen is going to look like, there are a lot of different things that need to be taken into account. The biggest downfall of refurbishing your Kitchen is the cost. Kitchens are usually the most likely room that you will want to re-design most due to the large amount of time you will spend in it and the use you will get out of it, although it is usually the room which costs the most to re-decorate. Granite Care are a firm based in Wigan, Lancashire who specialise in Designing and Fitting Bespoke Kitchens and Fabricating both Granite Worktops and Quartz Worktops Nationwide.
Many aspects need to be taken into account when thinking about the Design that you would like for your Kitchen.
Firstly, you need to look at which Layout that you would like for your Kitchen. You may need to think about whether you would like to keep your existing layout or whether you would like to change it around. This layout will help you decide on the type of Kitchen Units you want, plus where you think things should go, i.e. where storage cupboards should be, where you want electrical appliances to go, etc. If you have a rough layout, this will help the Kitchen Designers more to design the aspects of your Kitchen that will benefit you the most.
Electrical appliances are also another thing you need to think about. You may want to keep your exisiting electrical appliances or you may wish to purchase totally new ones. Granite Care can also take care of this for you. If you make clear which new appliances you would like, they can provide you with hgih-quality products.

Another thing you need to account for is the amount of maintenance you can regularly carry out on your Kitchen. It is inevitable within a Kitchen that natural greases and oils from cooking will accumulate on Work Surfaces, tops of Kitchen Units or on your electrical appliances. Please take into account the maintenance that you have time to carry out after cooking as it will make your life a lot easier and stress-free. Your choice of material for Worktops plays a vital role in the decision of how much maintenance you wish to carry out. Granite Care fabricate both Granite Worktops and Quartz Worktops. Granite Worktops are made from a natural material and so are a lot more porous and susceptible to soaking up oils and other acidic juices. This means regular maintenance must be carried out as soon as something is spilled, otherwise the Worktops are likely to susceptible to causing stains. You should opt for Granite Worktops if you have enough time to carry out regular maintenance.
On the other hand, Quartz Worktops are made from Quartz which is a man-made material. Because it is man-made, this means the material’s surface is sealed automatically when the material is being manufactured. This pre-sealing means the material is almost non-porous and so is not susceptible to soaking up any spills and so will not stain. This also means the material can simply be wiped clean with a cloth which is very simple and quick, whereas with Granite, the material would need to be wiped, buffed and polished to get the shine that originally comes when the material is installed to you. Quartz is a much more easy, maintenance-free material and so is more likely the better material for your Kitchen Worktops.

Quartz Engineered Stone Kitchen Worktops, Granite Worktops
In the world of Kitchen Worktops, there is a fast growing demand for a new material that is becoming more and more increasingly popular. Quartz is a Man-made material, engineered using pieces of Granite, resin and mirror chips. This carefully engineered material is both solid and durable and has the same hardness level as Granite when being used for Worktops.
Quartz comes in a variety of Colours, ranging from both brights to darks which is an immediate advantage over Granite as Granite seems to simply cater to a darker range of Colours. Quartz does a bit more than Granite in that it has a wider range of colours and so gives the customer more choice when choosing the colour scheme of the kitchen.
A second advantage of Quartz over Granite is the maintenance side of it. Quartz is man-made and so is ready-sealed when being manufactured. This equates to no pits and pores appearing on the material’s surface meaning no acidic liquids or juices/oils from solid foodstuffs can soak into the material, meaning no staining will occur. The only time that staining may occur is if any acidic or oily substance is left on the Worktop for a long period of time.
Quartz has the advantage that substances do not need to be cleaned up straight away because staining will not occur if left for a long time because of the sealed surface. Whereas, if you had Granite Worktops, there would be a high chance of staining because the surface is not readily sealed when going through the manufacturing process. Although, Granite does need to be sealed reguarly meaning every 3-6 months, so that any staining will not occur. Regular maintenance is needed for Granite because of its natural nature and so a lot of time and effort is needed if you wish to purchase these Worktops and keep them looking as good as new. Whereas with Quartz, effort is still needed although the amount of time and effort you will need to put in to keep it looking good is seriously reduced, which takes a lot of stress off your shoulders in the Kitchen, giving you more times to do other things you enjoy.
