Buying a kitchen involves a lot of decisions.
Cabinetry. Appliances. Flooring. Handles. Lighting. Worktops.
And when you get to worktops, working out what they are going to cost is always straightforward.
Different materials have different price points. And then there are cut-outs, edges, upstands and installation to consider.
We thought there should be a simpler way.
So, we created the Foundation Range, a new way to buy worktops with a clear specification and importantly, a fixed price based on the size of your kitchen.
The Foundation Range started with a simple question.
How do we make buying quartz worktops easier and more accessible without losing the quality of the finished product?
The answer wasn’t to create another enormous collection with hundreds of colours and endless combinations.
It was to simplify.
We’ve taken our of fabrication and installing stone worktops and used it create a carefully defined quartz range that includes the features customers actually need.
This means fewer decisions, a straightforward specification and clear pricing from the outset.
There are thousands of quartz designs available.
Choice is important, but more choice doesn’t necessarily make choosing easier.
The Foundation Range starts with just three carefully selected colours.
Rather than trying to cover every conceivable kitchen trend, we’ve focused on versatile surfaces designed to work with a wide variety of cabinetry, flooring and interior styles.
It makes choosing your worktop considerably simpler – while still giving you the flexibility to create a kitchen that feels like yours.
We’ve simplified the specification too.
The Foundation Range uses 20mm quartz with predetermined edge and cut-out details.
Why?
Because every variation adds complexity to the fabrication process – and complexity affects cost.
By standardising the elements that don’t necessarily need to be complicated, we’re able to fabricate the worktops efficiently while maintaining the standards we expect from every surface that leaves our workshop.
You’re not paying for endless options you don’t need.
You’re paying for a quality quartz worktop, professionally fabricated for your kitchen.
This is where the Foundation Range really changes the way you buy quartz.
Instead of starting with a price per square metre and trying to work out what that might eventually mean for your kitchen, we’ve created a straightforward fixed-price structure based on kitchen size.
Prices start from £1,995.
So, from much earlier in your kitchen planning, you have a clear idea of what your quartz worktops are going to cost.
No complicated list of individual extras.
No wondering whether the worktop you’ve chosen is going to push your kitchen beyond its budget.
Just a much clearer way to buy quartz.
Budgeting for a new kitchen isn’t simply about finding the cheapest individual products.
It’s about knowing what you’re going to spend.
An attractive headline price isn’t particularly helpful if the final cost looks very different once everything required for your kitchen has been added.
That’s why we believe price certainty matters.
The Foundation Range has been designed so you understand what is included and what you’re paying from the beginning.
That makes it easier to plan the rest of your kitchen budget – and considerably easier to decide whether quartz is right for you.
This was another reason we created the range.
Stone worktops have traditionally been associated with premium kitchens and substantial budgets. But the market has changed, and quartz is now available across a much wider range of price points.
For someone considering premium laminate or another alternative because they assume quartz will be beyond their budget, it’s worth comparing the actual costs before making that decision.
The difference may be smaller than you expect.
And because a kitchen worktop is something you’ll see, touch and use every day for many years, the long-term value matters as much as the initial purchase price.
There’s an important distinction here.
The Foundation Range isn’t about producing a lesser worktop.
It’s about creating a simpler way of specifying and buying one.
Your worktops are still individually fabricated to fit your kitchen. They still need accurate measurements, skilled fabrication and professional installation.
We’ve simply removed some of the complexity surrounding the product.
That’s what allows us to offer the range at a competitive fixed price.
The Foundation Range may be a new way to buy quartz, but the expertise behind it isn’t new.
It’s been developed by the team at The Granite House, drawing on more than 20 years of experience working with stone.
We know where details matter.
We also know where unnecessary complexity adds cost without necessarily adding value.
The Foundation Range brings those two things together: the knowledge of an experienced stone fabricator with a much simpler way to buy quartz.
The Foundation Range has deliberately been designed around a defined specification, so it won’t be the right solution for every kitchen.
If you’re looking for a highly bespoke surface, a particular quartz design, specialist edge detailing or something outside the Foundation specification, our wider stone collection gives you those options.
But if you’re looking for quality quartz, a carefully selected choice of colours and the reassurance of straightforward fixed pricing, the Foundation Range offers something different.
And that’s exactly why we created it.
We don’t think buying quartz needs to be complicated.
You shouldn’t need to understand slab yields, square-metre pricing or fabrication terminology simply to find out whether stone worktops fit your budget.
With the Foundation Range, we’ve done that work for you.
Three colours. One straightforward specification. Fixed prices based on your kitchen size.
A simpler way to choose.
A clearer way to budget.
And a new way to buy quartz.
