With our vast knowledge of kitchen worktops, here at Avon Marble we can create your new kitchen worktop from our range of different granite options in stock. Alternatively, we also can source more unusual materials, to allow you create something a little different and truly unique. Using either granite or engineered stone, Avon Marble can supply wide range of colours to suit your kitchen. You can take a look at examples of our work in our gallery.
How is granite made?
The main portion of granites consist of magmatic rock, which is produced when magma deep beneath the earth’s crust cools down. Once the stone has been sourced, the granite requires polishing to bring out the depth of colours and smooth off the outlining surface. This is what gives granite that outstanding finish and individual look which cannot be matched, and can really add that special touch to your kitchen.
You may have questions about the process involved in having a granite worktop installed in your kitchen.
You can find more details about each of the installation stages below; if you have any question unanswered, do not hesitate to get in touch.
Firstly, our friendly team will create the template for your bespoke kitchen worktops. It's crucial that your templating is carried out accurately, to ensure the finished product looks its absolute best. This is why it's important that all the kitchen units, end panels and any other furniture that will affect the way the granite is fitted should be fixed and in their final position prior to us templating, so that we can get your measurements spot on.
All appliances should be onsite before templating, including hobs, sinks, taps and waste etc - anything that will affect the worktops must be there, so we can check them to avoid any problems later on in the project.
Once your new worktops have been made to your specification, we will arrange a convenient time to install them. The installation usually takes about half a day, which means you will normally be given the choice of a morning or afternoon appointment.
On the day of fitting we will require a clear room to fit the worktops. For a flawless finish, we prefer that the room is left dust-free for a few hours after we leave, as some of the sealants we use will still be wet for up to six hours after installation is complete. Plumbers and electricians can then be contacted to fit taps and hobs etc after we leave.
Once your new worktops are in place, it's time to enjoy them! On the whole, granite worktops are durable and hardwearing. They are not, however, indestructible; they can scratch, chip and stain.
It is important to treat granite with the same care and attention that you would any other worktop, as unlike other surfaces they are very difficult to repair.
As well as marble worktops, we can supply and fit your marble fireplace.
We also supply quartz and stone worktops from a range of suppliers, such as Silestone, Compac, Arenastone and Caesarstone. For further information about our natural stone products, please do not hesitate to contact us, and a friendly advisor will be more than happy to help.
