Sophisticated Quartz Worktops in Colchester, Essex
Granite Unlimited manufactures and instals the finest quartz worktops in Colchester. Quartz is the second most abundant material in the Earth's continental crust after feldspar. With the addition of some colour and adhesive, it has been used to create a superb work surface material, available in a huge variety of colours and finishes.
Quartz countertops have a similar look and feel to granite, however, they provide a more consistent colour and pattern throughout the finish of the surface. In fact, quartz countertops are not a natural stone worktop, but a synthetic stone instead.
We offer leading brands, such as Silestone and Ceasarstone, and more exclusive brands, such as Nilestone, Classic Quartz and Bloomstone. In addition, we only provide quartz made in a highly-controlled factory environment.

Our quartz countertops in Colchester feature qualities similar to that of natural stone, however, the strength and durability they offer is like no other solid surface. In addition they are 100% stain and waterproof, and offer exceptional resistance against heat, scratches, and daily wear and tear.
Quartz is also easier to maintain and clean than other materials. As they are non-porous, our quartz kitchen worktops do not require periodic sealing or polishing, repelling unwanted bacteria and cross-contamination.

FAQs
What is a quartz worktop?
It is common for people to have misconceptions about quartz. They understand that it is extremely durable and mistake it for a natural stone worktop. Quartz worktops actually belong to the engineered stone family, meaning they are not made from completely natural forming products. In the case of quartz countertops, crushed quartz is combined with polymer resins and colour pigments. Although they contain over 90% natural quartz, other artificial ingredients are introduced which classifies them as an engineered stone.
Do quartz worktops stain?
People often opt for quartz worktops because they are extremely durable. Unlike granite, a quartz countertop is non porous. This means not only does it not need to be sealed, but it is highly resistant to stains. For the most part, you do not need to worry about your quartz worktop staining. There are rare exceptions, however. In certain conditions, the polymers used may experience slight chemical transformations. This can occur if a harsh chemical was left on your quartz countertop for some time. A quartz worktop is only likely to stain in rare circumstances, however. The majority of the time, you do not need to worry.
How do I clean a quartz worktop?
Strong, tough and non porous, a quartz worktop is extremely easy to clean and maintain. Though the initial cost to install quartz worktops is comparatively high, you will make great savings as they are inherently low maintenance. It is recommended that, to clean your quartz worktop, you use a soft cloth, some warm water and a non-abrasive cleaner. There are low pH cleaners widely available on the market that have been specially formulated for quartz. Although quartz is highly resistant to stains, it is good practice to routinely clean your surfaces and mop up any spills. They are durable, but they are not invincible. Highly acidic materials, if left long enough, can discolour the stone.
How much do quartz worktops cost?
As we make our quartz worktops to measure, it is impossible to say precisely how much our granite worktops cost. The best way to learn an accurate answer to this question is to get in touch with us or visit our showroom to speak with one of our highly knowledgeable team members who can point you in the right direction.
