Quartz and Dekton Worktops in Surrey
The kitchen is by far the busiest place in your home, from the mad morning rush to the family dinners in the evening. It really is the heart of any home and is where you spend most of your time. It is because of this reason that your kitchen needs to be as hard wearing and durable as possible – a perfect choice for your worktops which provides this is quartz.
Quartz is fantastic as it is available in a polished finish and feels like a natural stone! It doesn’t require any sealing and is antibacterial- perfect! Now quartz has become so highly engineered that many are choosing to spend that little extra and pick Dekton as the material for their worktop. Dekton really is a magical surface for your kitchen worktop. Why? Well here are the top great reasons we love Dekton.
- Dekton is completely resistant to scratches. A slip of the knife will not leave a single scratch on your Dekton worktop however it is recommended that chopping boards are still used so that your kitchen utensils don’t get damaged!
- Dekton worktops really are a long-term product for your kitchen. It really does stand the test of time and is an investment in your kitchen, bathroom or even in your garden. It comes in three different thicknesses 8, 12 and 20mm which makes it incredibly versatile as you can use it in a shower instead of tiles, as a splashback and even in your garden.
- Unlike regular quartz Dekton is highly resistant to UV light which makes it perfect for both indoor and outdoor use as the colour will remain the same even with regular exposure to the sun.
- Stone worktops are all pretty much resistant to stains however Dekton is stain proof! The toughest of stains will not leave a mark. From nail varnish, coffee, turmeric, rust or even harsh household cleaners like bleach- Dekton is resistant to any markings making it a perfect material for your kitchen worktops.
- Dekton is highly resistant to heat and fire and the surface will not crack or damage even if a hot pan is placed on it. Think that’s impressive? Dekton is so versatile in terms of temperature that it is resistant to ice and thawing making it the perfect material for the coldest of environments. These qualities make Dekton an ideal surface to use outdoors or in a garden barbecue.
- Granite worktops and marble worktops can wear over time and will need to be sealed and sometimes polished over time. Dekton is completely resistant to abrasion and will maintain the same appearance and beautiful finish years down the line without any need for polishing.
