White countertops are so on trend at the moment, but is it such a wise decision to make? While white can be such a beautiful colour to choose, is it practical, especially within homes that have young children? White décor can offer such an elegant feel to your home and it can bring such a fresh and clean look.

Many people view white as such a brave colour to go for, and quite rightly so. But during this article we will discuss the good and bad points of going for a white Granite countertop.

Pros:

Beautiful in Appearance

As mentioned above, white is such a beautiful colour to choose for your kitchen countertops and that is one of the reasons why it is such a popular colour at the moment. White is very trendy for kitchens and it will go with almost any other colour out there, which means that you never have to worry about changing anything if you decide to switch your colour theme slightly. You can even keep your existing accessories if you wish.

Perfect for Small Kitchens

If your home has a kitchen that is on the smaller side, then white is definitely a colour that you should consider as it has the power to fool your eyes into thinking the room is bigger than it is. White is able to create an illusion of a bigger kitchen as it reflects and bounces light around the room – a very cost effective way of ‘enlarging’ your kitchen without knocking anything down.

Range of Shades

Our range of white or lighter shades of Granite countertops offer our customers a few to choose from. Whether you want to go for bright white or a bit more of a pattern, we have you covered.

Fresh and Clean

If you choose white Granite for your kitchen countertops then you will end up with a completely fresh, crisp and clean look after its been finished. White has a power to achieve a great appearance of cleanliness – perfect for kitchen areas.

Cons:

Difficult to Keep Clean

As kitchens are such a high traffic area, white can be such a difficult colour to maintain with cleanliness. While it can look so fresh, it takes a bit of work to achieve and maintain this appearance. Any spillage or crumb would show and therefore you may end up having to clean even more than you do now.

‘Hospital Like’

Some people are not so fond of white for the simple reason that is reminds them too much of hospitals as it has a sterile look about it. As mentioned above, white has the power to look incredibly clean is maintained well however this look can sometimes be a bit overkill for some people. Reminding people of hospitals is not necessarily the type of reaction you want from people when they visit your home.

‘Too’ Big

As white has a great power to create an illusion of a bigger room, for some rooms this may not be beneficial and could end up making the room look far too big and spacey. While white is beautiful to look at, the choice could end up backfiring on you and end up getting lost within your kitchen. Perhaps you should consider not having white as a block colour within the kitchen and instead involving some other colours, shades and textures to ensure that your kitchen is not enlarged too much.

As you can see from the list above, there are many reason why you should go for a white Granite countertop, however there are equally good reasons why someone would prefer to stay away. Hopefully this article has helped you during the process of deciding and eliminating on colours and materials.

You have decided that your home needs some renovations and part of this is a new flooring, which material should you go for? You have narrowed down your search but are wondering which is better – Quartz or Marble? This article will provide you a balanced view for both Quartz flooring and Marble flooring so give you the information you need to make an informed choice.

Level of Maintenance

If the potential for long-term costs and regular upkeep is something that you do not want to consider then perhaps Marble is not the material for you. Marble requires regular sealing, whereas Quartz does not ever need this treatment done, which makes Quartz a brilliant option for lower budgets.

Staining and Scratches

Quartz is a non-porous material, which is one of the reasons why is does not ever require sealant, which means that it will never soak up any spillages or liquids. However, as long as your Marble has been properly sealed it would give you this benefit as well. But the downside is that if your Marble is in need of being sealed at any time, any spillages that occur will be soaked up and potentially stain. This is something that you should consider if you have young children around your home.

While Quartz will rarely stain, it is highly sensitive to certain chemicals. While the lack of staining makes it easier to clean, the cleaning could still be affected by which chemicals you can use. If you ever misread a label or forget that you cannot use products that have a high pH level, you may end up damaging your flooring.

Budget

Marble is generally more expensive to purchase per square foot than Quartz, which makes the initial purchase more expensive. Additionally, as Marble requires regular sealing the long-term costs are also something you should consider. Quartz is not only the cheaper option to purchase but it also does never need sealing which takes away the long-term costs as well.

Appearance

Once thing is for certain, Marble is such a beautiful and stylish material and is so popular when it comes to flooring. While Quartz will closely mimic the look of natural stone, it does not fully measure up to the look of Marble which gives you an authentic look of natural stone.

Although, Quartz Stone offers such a uniformed look. With Marble, each piece can be completely different with its veining which can be either a plus or a downfall, depending on the customer. But with Quartz, you will always get a uniformed appearance in colour and pattern. So, if you are looking to have a consistent colour and pattern for your flooring, then Quartz is for you. However, if you do not mind have inconsistencies within the flooring and it is something you actually like, then Marble could be a great choice too.

Hopefully this article has helped you with your decision making process and you have a clearer picture of which materials suits you better.

Our Granite Worktops

So, why use Granite for your worktops? As mentioned above, Granite has so many benefits to offer our customers and that is why it is so widely used for kitchen renovations. With a Granite worktop, you will be able to place hot items on top of the surface without worrying about damaging or burning the worktop, although it is still recommended to use heat pads as this will prevent any risk from damage at all as Granite can still be damaged if the heat exceeds a certain temperature.

Granite is also incredibly strong, so much so that it is virtually impossible to scratch and in fact your kitchen knives are likely to blunt down instead. Additionally, Granite is great for being stain proof as it is a non-porous stone and will never hold onto any spillages that will occur within the kitchen and food preparation areas.

Granite is such a unique looking stone and each Granite worktop that exists will have a completely different appearance. The reason for this is because Granite consists of a number of different minerals which give this look and put character into each piece. Your Granite worktop colour will never fade and will benefit you financially if you ever sell your home as it only adds value.
But you must remember that Granite needs to be re-sealed every two years, otherwise you are putting it at risk of damaging.
