A kitchen is a place where life is celebrated and love, cooked and served. Such a kitchen needs a worktop that’s functional, resistant, compatible, and aesthetic. Among the variety of options at hand, marble and granite come closest to the requirements of ideal countertop material.  

What is quartz?

Quartz is composed of silicon and oxygen atoms in an incessant arrangement of tetrahedra (SiO4). Upon mining, the mineral is finely ground, fused with resin and subjected to extreme temperature and pressure. The result is a beautiful slab with a broad scope for applications across designs and environments. Pigments are also added during the process for increased aesthetics.

Why quartz?

Quartz worktops are finding their way into kitchens for their hardy and handsome attributes. 

• The appearance is luxurious with a three-dimensional depth in the finish that cannot be achieved with solid surface materials.
• Quartz is tough, making for a surface that performs well and lasts long.
• From oils to wine, no liquid can intrude through the non-porous surface reinforced by resin. That means no bacterial build-up and easy cleaning and maintenance.  
• Thanks to the manufacturing process, quartz worktops Essex come is a range of colours.

What is marble?

It’s a metamorphic rock formed due to limestone’s exposure to extreme heat and pressure. The calcite present in the limestone is crystallised, leading to the formation of calcite crystals. The rock imbibes impurities during metamorphosis, which speaks for a variety of colours. 

Why marble?

Marble worktops are the mainstay of functional kitchens worldwide for certain striking traits.
