INTRODUCTION

We only source stone that comes with its own guarantee, which is typically 10 years or more and we have a dedicated workforce to fully support and rectify any issues that may arise. We guarantee that every project we undertake will be installed with first class workmanship and with the upmost care and attention to detail. We highly value client recommendations so every job is taken as seriously as the next.

3. CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF GRANITE

For the protection of your granite surface Solid Stone Worktops Ltd recommends the regular use of the specialist maintenance kit which can be obtained from your kitchen retailer. The following information will help preserve the properties of your granite surface. Observance of the care and maintenance schedule here is essential for the continued validity of your Warranty:

3.1 Your granite work surface has been treated with a specialist impregnator as part of the manufacturing process prior to delivery. Extra care should be taken to remove all spills immediately from the surface for the first three (3) weeks following installation to allow the impregnator to cure to give maximum protection to the granite.

3.2 Do not place objects recently removed from heat onto your granite surface. Hot oils, sugar etc can cause staining; use a surface designed for such purpose. Granite can withstand elevated temperatures but extreme heat may cause damage.

3.3 Avoid rubbing or knocking objects on the edges of the granite product.

3.4 Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring powders, stripping agents, caustic soda, bleach, solvents, concentrated disinfectants or chlorine-based products on your granite worktops.

3.5 Do not use grease removers on your granite surface. Remove spills as soon as practical and clean with warm soapy and water and buff dry with a clean, soft cloth.

3.6 Do not carry out any hammering operation or drop any heavy or pointed objects onto your granite surface. Whilst granite is a hard material it can be damaged by mechanical pressure and abrasion. Using your granite worktop as a cutting surface will cause dulling of the polish; we recommend the use of a chopping board.

4. QUARTZ

4.1 Our work surfaces have a high heat resistance in comparison with other stone worktops. However, a trivet/worktop board are always to be used for chopping/hot pans. Never place anything warm/hot directly on the surface.

4.2 Quartz is durable and non-porous therefore no sealant is required making it easier to maintain compared to other solid stone work surfaces

4.3 Food staining can occur and worktop saver should be used always to combat possible stains.

4.4 This engineered stone is 95% raw quartz mixed with other materials such as resins, polymers and dyes which contribute to deliver a durable and non-scratch surface.

4.5 Quartz requires simple cleaning with a damp cloth using gentle non-bleach products meaning it is easy to maintain. Only gentle products like hot- soapy water are recommended. (Do not use bleach/silicone/ammonia based cleaning products).

4.6 Only use soft dish cloths or fabrics to clean. Abrasive sponges such as steel based pads are not recommended as it may graze the surface.

4.7 It has a uniform colour unlike other work surfaces providing consistency in colour and pattern.

4.8 Quartz work surfaces should be wiped down immediately after use.
