Quartz Worktops Buying Guide

We take a look at the benefits of Quartz worktops and how you can take advantage of this versatile work surface for your new kitchen.

Quartz worktops are becoming increasingly popular as hard-wearing and highly versatile work surfaces for both modern and traditional kitchens. We look at the benefits of Quartz worktops and how you can take advantage of this versatile work surface for your new kitchen. 

How to Choose Quartz Worktops

Quartz worktops come in a wide range of colour options and finishes from subtle finishes to highly patterned choices. They can look almost identical to natural marble and granite or be made to look like poured concrete. So, no matter whether you are looking for a contemporary urban look or something more traditional, Quartz worktops can offer a versatile surface for almost any kitchen. 

Quartz Design Trends

The modern trend is for Quartz worktops to come in natural tones with white being particularly popular now.  If you are opting for a modern contemporary look, then dark solid shades such as ebony and graphite can create a luxurious touch, especially when paired with dark coloured cabinetry.  

You can also use dark Quartz to create a modern two-tone look by pairing it with light kitchen units. If you prefer traditional styles but want a modern spin, then a Quartz worktop in soft natural tones can provide a nice touch. 

Quartz doesn't have to be restricted to just worktops. You can use it to create striking and sophisticated splashbacks that offer great looks and practicality. it's also scratch and heat resistant so perfect for using behind an electric or gas hob.
