Granite

If money were no option Granite worktops would be most peoples choice, and its no wonder why! No other worktop offers the beauty and sheen of polished Granite and its natural opulence puts the final touch to your new gleaming kitchen.

However, all might not be as it seems!

Granite worktops are seen to be the perfect surface for chopping on, placing hot items on, and generally doing anything you want on! … Erm, not quite so! Granite worktops are an investment (average Granite worktop cost is £3000 to £4000) and as such they need to be properly used and maintained.

Granite is a natural stone product which although extremely hard is also extremely brittle and semi porous, leading to possible problems. As with any worktop the use of trivets for placing hot items on, and chopping boards for cutting on is strongly advised.

Left unattended, spills of hot fats and highly coloured fluids such as red wine and beetroot can penetrate the Granite and become almost impossible to remove. Dropping heavy items, being heavy handed with cast iron pans, or using the worktop to cut and chop on, can all lead to chips and possible scratches and cracks on your Granite worktop.

However, look after your new Granite worktop properly and it will look stunning for life. Buying and installing Granite Worktops can extend the length of your kitchen installation, and may require the purchase and fitting of a cheap temporary worktop, sink, and tap.

A Granite worktop is a bespoke (made to measure) product that require templating, this is normally carried out by the supplier upon the installation of your base units.

The time between templating and installation of Granite worktops can vary between 5 days to 5 weeks depending upon the workload of the supplier (hence the possible need for a temporary sink and tap) possibly causing more disruption to your daily life than anticipated.

In summary … Granite worktops look great, but be careful to maintain them properly.
