Do Stone Countertops Communicate?

Have you ever favourite how your favorite person decodes you? Well, okay, if there’s something to flex about your communication skills, you can go about it, but the rest of us won’t be able to fist bump you, unfortunatelcolourst thanks to colors, they do a lot even without words. I guess it makes sense why most of your exhausted acquaintances prefer white kitchen worktops and walls. We, humans, tend to counterbalance our absence of internal peace with peaceful options available externally, and it is a known fact that white is associated with all the positive attributes like purity, patience, freshness, pe cleanliness, and softness and perfection among many others.  Had you ever imagined that you would be manifesting peace in your life through your kitchen countertops arrangement? Haha, I guess not. But it is a harmless suggestion to just not give it a try, what do you say? If you think going completely white is not gonna be your thing, pairing it with grey worktops is a good option to consider. Although we know white is the master of neutrals that can be combined with pretty much anything, here we’re discussing grey. Let’s prove wrong how this color, often associated with inexpressive, lifeless, detached, and ambivalent adjectives can bring life to a cookhouse.

This is a light grey quartz stone that shows the presence of minute splashes of black as well as darkish grey stripes that keep moving randomly in repetitive behavior. This material is not just limited to kitchen worktops but can also be chosen for various other purposes within and outside it. They can be used as kitchen countertops, backsplashes, kitchen windowsills, wall capping, water fountains, floorings, etc. This might have given a hint already that it can be used for interior as well as exterior applications according to the necessity of the situation.

You might know that quartz worktops are made of engineered stone, manufactured in industries to be used for various projects mentioned previously. So, they are infused with physical and chemical properties like durability, heat resistance, stain resistance, scratch resistance etc to make them one of the best kitchen countertops materials.  Even from a materialistic point of view, they come in a vast range of colors. This means that inside the grey choice, you will further have several shades of it to choose from. As a kitchen is exposed to harsh conditions daily like the use of knives, citric acid spills, fruit and vegetables liquids, cleaning agents, hot pans, knives and forks and all the messy handlings, qualities like the ones mentioned above, become priorities while investing on a remodeling or new setup. Sealing is already included in the manufacturing process, so it will not be required during its installation. The benefits of proper sealing are limitless. In fact, it is due to this that major other problems that arise in a kitchen are checked. It doesn’t allow water and colored products to penetrate inside the material. This ensures that bacterial and microbial contamination does not occur, which keeps the space hygienic and increases the material’s life stage. As a result,  maintenance of the space will also be comparatively easy.

Kitchen Countertops- Finishing of Stones

Polished Finish:

The visible color strikes are well highlighted in this category giving the countertops a glossy surface and improving their reflecting capacity by making them appear vibrant. 

Honed Finish:

This kind of finish creates the material to appear less shiny and non-reflective. This can be picked up by those homeowners whose kitchens are already based on bright indoor lighting. Another advantage of this is, that the matted nature allows the fingerprints and smudges arising from regular touches to be hidden unlike in a polished finish. 

Worktop Thickness

Irrespective of the finishes and stone colours, quartz kitchen worktops can be available in different thicknesses; the popular ones are 20mm quartz worktop and 30mm kitchen countertops.
