In terms of Halloween themed colours that evoke the warmth of autumn and onset of winter, the Planet Range by Quartz Forms is a good starting point, especially Mars, Pluto, Jupiter & Halley.

October is a seriously food-centric month. Did you know we celebrate National Brunch Weekend, World Pasta Day, International Chefs Day, National Baking Week and World Food Day!

Here at The Granite House, our employees have been busy baking and we’ll be holding a Coffee Morning to fundraise for MacMillan Cancer Support.  So come along to our showroom for a mug of coffee, cup of tea and slice of homemade cake on Friday 30th September 2022.

Inspired by World Elephant Day (12th August) as opposed to the best-selling novel, the theme for this blog is in response to the current design trend for grey décor that seems set to last and become a classic look in the kitchen, whether that is choosing grey worktops or grey painted cabinetry.

As UK temperatures soar to 40.2C, the hottest ever recorded, the phrase “if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen” springs to mind… So let’s take a closer look at what can help you to make a cool decision for your kitchen worktops and stay cool with stone.

Good hygiene is important in the prevention of infection from a wide source of micro-organisms and this blog intends to help you determine the best kitchen worktops to maintain your hygiene standards at home.

If you’re at home for Christmas, you’ll be spending a fair amount of time in the kitchen. There will be drinks to serve, and nibbles to nibble on. Not to mention the minor task of cooking and clearing what can seem like a year’s worth of meals in a single fortnight.

An old cook’s saying is that pastry should be prepared with cool hands to get the best out of your bake. A cool floured granite or quartz worktop is ideal.

When you embark on a kitchen re-fit, including that special treat of new stone kitchen worktops as well as new wall tiles and new cabinets, it’s hard to know where to start.

Granite, Quartz and Ceramic surfaces not only look fabulous, but they will last forever.
