SINTERED STONE
Sintered Stone is manufactured by compressing stone chippings and then firing them at high temperatures. This makes surfaces heat, scratch and stain-resistant. It is the only worktop that you can place a hot pan directly onto. Ideal for minimalist modern kitchens, why not visit our showroom to see a wide choice of finishes and colours.
Quartzstone
Quartzstone worktops are a blend of resins and natural stones and minerals. They are extremely durable and low maintenance, with a wide choice of colours, patterns, and finishes depending on whether you are looking for a traditional marble effect or contemporary concrete design. The main brands we have samples of are Caesarstone, Unistone, Dekton and Silestone.
Granite
Granite kitchen worktops are a natural stone with some stunning patterns and colours. Mined from quarries all over the world, each slab is unique, so we always advise customers to visit our local stonemason to choose their own piece. Whilst granite does require some maintenance, it is extremely durable and still remains a popular choice for traditional-style kitchens.
CORIAN
Corian is a brand name for a worktop material formed from a combination of polymer and natural minerals. Using a process called ‘thermoforming’ Corian can be moulded to create virtually seamless, organic shapes, with bold effects of colour and translucency to allow back lighting creating unique, statement pieces.
SOLID WOOD
Working with some of the finest ethically-sourced materials, we provide bespoke wooden worktops that are built to stand the test of time. Our sustainably sourced wooden worktops create a warm and ‘homely’ feel, adding a unique sense of character and timeless elegance to any modern or traditional kitchen.
LAMINATE
Offering superb value, a laminate worktop will allow you to invest more into your beautiful kitchen furniture and bespoke design. As an alternative to solid worksurfaces, a high-quality bespoke laminate worktop are available in a selection of life-like stone, wood and metallic finishes.
