At KML Worktops, we have supplied and installed premium quartzite kitchen worktops across London for over 20 years. From our in-house fabrication unit in Wembley, we offer full-service supply, templating and installation, covering North, South, East and West London as well as Surrey, Essex and Kent.
Quartzite is a natural metamorphic rock formed when sandstone is subjected to extreme heat and pressure deep within the Earth. Over time, the individual sand grains recrystallise into an interlocking mosaic of quartz crystals, producing a stone that is exceptionally dense, hard, and durable. On the Mohs mineral hardness scale, quartzite typically scores between 7 and 8, harder than granite and considerably tougher than marble.
Natural quartzite countertops are the first option for clients who desire both aesthetics and strength. These faces make a beautiful visual statement of their everlastingness, and they are extremely functional as well in diverse usages like exterior cladding and balconies. Here are the benefits of quartzite worktops.
We provide an exquisite variety of quartzite countertops for the kitchen that feature different colours and patterns to uplift any decor style. Whether you need a subtle beige Taj Mahal quartzite or a bold, artistic Aqua Fusion slab, our expert team will craft a worktop tailored perfectly to your home.
Quartzite worktop prices in London typically range between £250 and £1,200 per square metre. The final price will depend on the type and thickness of the slab (20mm or 30mm), the complexity of the edge profile, and the total surface area of the worktop. We will be happy to provide you with a complete itemised quote of your entire supply, fabrication and installation.
Quartzite worktop is a strong and fashionable option. The rock will retain its lustre and remain viable for a long time. You may clean the surfaces daily with mild soap and a soft cloth. An acidic or abrasive cleanser should be very strictly avoided. Do not remove the cutting boards at all in order to prevent scratches caused by the sharp edges of the knives.
