Engineered stone – often called quartz composite – is a smart, modern alternative to granite. When sourced from a top manufacturer, it looks just like natural stone, with none of the upkeep.
Quartz worktops combine the strength and durability of granite with even more style options. Choose from a huge range of colours and patterns to match your kitchen, whatever the look.
Made by blending ground igneous rock with resins, colourants and polymers under heat and pressure, quartz can also include glass chips, mica or metallic flecks for a subtle sparkle.
The result? A sleek, low-maintenance surface that’s non-porous, hygienic, and highly resistant to scratches and stains – perfect for everyday use.
We supply and install engineered quartz worktops throughout the region from our base in Hungerford, Berkshire. We work with four of the UK’s leading brands: Caesarstone, Silestone, Unistone and BQS (Beltrami Quartz Surfaces).
Each quartz worktop is made to order for a clean, seamless fit across your counters, island or breakfast bar. We can also shape them to include inset sinks and drainer grooves for a streamlined, practical finish.
We supply and perfectly fit a wide range of stunning quartz worktops from four leading manufacturers:
Custom designed quartz worktops can be ordered to fit any space, and even be formatted with integral sinks or draining areas, with a polished, smooth finish or textured with a suede-like matt or rough surface.
The design possibilities of quartz worktops give you great flexibility when it comes to fitting in with your kitchen or bathroom décor.
You can opt for solid engineered quartz worktops that are indistinguishable from real stone like marble or granite, or blended to look like plain concrete. Choose plain white, or perhaps you prefer bright colours – how about a flecked or crystalline look, or swirly graining.
We can supply and install quartz worktops across a wide area around Hungerford, covering most of the RG postcode area, including Newbury (RG14), Thatcham (RG18 & RG19) and Basingstoke in north Hampshire (RG21). We also work to the west of Hungerford in north west Wiltshire in and around Swindon (SN1) and Marlborough (SN8). We’re stonemasons of choice too in the Salisbury city postcodes of SP1, SP2, SP3 and SP4, together with nearby Andover (SP10) and surrounds.
Engineered stone is the ideal material for modern kitchen work surfaces and bathroom countertops. It has all the advantages and properties of natural solid stone, even though it is a man-made alternative.
Quartz worktops are extremely hard, shrugging off utensil damage and impacts – almost as resilient as granite – and are very resistant to heat, so hot pans won’t leave a scorch mark on the surface.
Being non-porous, engineered quartz is impervious to moisture, spills and bacteria, making for a very hygienic kitchen or bathroom surface which just requires a wipe with a damp cloth to keep it clean. You won’t have to worry about having it regularly sealed to keep it pristine for years to come.
Quartz counters look just as good as natural stone, too. They come in attractive shades and patterns to complement any interior design scheme, from opulent marble effect to plain contemporary solid black. Unlike natural stone, different sections of quartz worktop can be engineered to match, with uniform colour and texture, bringing a cohesive look to your kitchen and bathroom.
Our experts from Humphries Stonemasons in Hungerford will measure up your requirements, order the required counter tops and install them so that they fit seamlessly.
