Winkleigh Granite

When planning your kitchen worktop, we have a choice of either Beech, Pine, Oak, Slate or Granite tops.

History

Granite worktops are becoming increasingly popular due to their hard wearing surface and simply because they look stunning. Granite is a very hard igneous rock formed from the slow crystallization of molten magma. Granite is widely distributed throughout the continental crust of the earth and is the most abundant basement rock that underlies the relatively thin sedimentary veneer of the continents. It is fairly common throughout the world however, the most commercial quarries are located in the Scandinavian Peninsula, Spain, Brazil, India and China.

Why Use Granite

Kitchen worktops are the hardest worked surface in the home therefore, granite is probably one of the most durable and dependable surfaces to stand the test of any home. It is heatproof, waterproof, stain resistant, virtually impossible to scratch and very low maintenance.

Care Of Granite

We also sell Granite care kits for maintenance and extra care of your Granite.

Availability

Granite is very distinctive and is available in some unique colours and patterns. We have a choice of different colours to choose from, each of which is on display in our workshop. Granite sheets come in different sizes (as do kitchens!) therefore, we provide a full cutting and machining service of both granite and slate which is carried out in our workshops at Winkleigh Timber. We also offer a full templating and installation service.

Please note the colours on screen do not show to colour to its full beauty - ideally you need to see the granite either via a visit or per sample.

We also stock Granite splashbacks and sinks to match the worktops. Due to the nature of the product each piece of granite can vary slightly, you are more than welcome to actually select the sheets of granite in our workshop at the time of ordering and these will be allocated to you.

Please supply dimensions of work surface and machining cut outs for all quotations.
