Solid Stone Worktops V Engineered Stone Worktops

Do you prefer Natural stone or Manmade stone? When it comes to designing your kitchen, the kitchen worktop choice is of fundamental importance to any focal point of a kitchen. Below we talk about the differences between Solid kitchen worktops and Quartz kitchen worktops. Here at Express Marble we work with both providing a bespoke cutting service and design service, but there are many people out there that still do not know the differences between the two.
​

GRANITE KITCHEN WORKTOPS
Granite countertops are quarried directly from the earth as a single chunk. Granite is with high density and low porosity 100% natural, scratch resistant, heat resistant, big selection of colours, hygienic and easy to clean once it has been sealed.

QUARTZ KITCHEN WORKTOPS
Quartz worktop are made from Quartz mineral consists of 93% natural substances and 7% of pigments and resins. They are manufactured in a variety of different patterns and colors.  Quartz is very difficult to break, scratch resistant, most colours are heat resistant, resistant to acids, hygienic, easy to clean, very low porosity 0,01% with huge choice of colours.

​As Granite comes straight from earth, the appearance is not uniform. For some this will be a benefit while others will consider it to be a drawback, it depends totally on your taste and needs.

Quartz, unlike other stone slabs, can be crafted with a controlled appearance.Quartz countertops are just as strong as granite.
 
It’s a personal choice and is as individual as you are.
