Quartz vs Stainless Steel Worktops

CRL Quartz Cristallo Perla

Are Stainless Steel Worktops for you?

A kitchen with an industrial vibe has never been more on trend. As more and more people move towards open plan living, having the kitchen of your dreams has become increasingly important for many homeowners.

The scope of what is available and the different looks that can be achieved seems never ending and with materials such as wood, brick, concrete, glass and stainless steel the industrial inspired kitchen will never be out of reach. You can have a worktop worthy of any 5 star restaurant in the comfort of your own home.  

Typically associated with commercial kitchens, stainless steel worktops might not be everyone’s go to material for the home, but there are many benefits to using it and some people are now even using it in domestic kitchens. 

The reason why commercial kitchens use stainless steel worktops is because it is almost indestructible. It is extremely durable and can withstand almost anything.
