When planning your kitchen, you will need to consider not only the colour and type of stone worktop you prefer. Solid stone worktops are the perfect choice if you want the very best for your kitchen. Good-looking, hard-wearing, practical and value-enhancing; granite and quartz worktops set the gold standard in contemporary kitchens.
Granite is so hard we can only cut it with diamonds, while its dense grain makes it difficult to stain. And with no two quarries producing exactly the same stone, the variety of natural stones available from across the world is breathtaking. Add in the breadth of colours and looks possible in man-made quartz and you are spoiled for choice.

What is granite? True, geological, granite is classified as an igneous rock and is formed by the crystalisation of magma, or lava, as it cools and solidifies in the Earth's crust. Granite predominantly consists of the following minerals: quartz, mica, feldspar and plagioclase feldspar. The proportion and type of each mineral give granite its unique appearance.
Affordable Granite has a range of ten standard natural stone colours for granite worktops. These stones are bought in bulk and always held in stock. Those factors minimise delivery time and price. Our granites cover a wide spectrum of colours and patterns, all of which demonstrate the remarkable beauty of granite.
Azul Platino granite is a material which has attracted a lot of attention over the last few years. For our first few installations of Azul Platino granite worktops we handled it on a bespoke basis, but found the stone so popular and cost-effective for our customers that we ended up holding it in stock.
Classic Black Galaxy granite is our most popular premium granite with Irridescent coppery broncite crystals in a pure black field. This luxuriously polished stone brings the milky way into your kitchen, and is especially magnificent under the intense lighting systems now being installed. It is an extremely durable stone which is particularly hard, with a relatively uniform colour and background.

This is the second time we have bought a new kitchen worktop from Affordable Granite. This time we went for a Quartz Worktop and found thw whole process to be painless and trouble free. Other workmen working on our new extension even commented on how polite and profressional the AG man was when he came to do the templating! The order process was smooth and the staff, as ever were very helpful in helping us to choose our new worktop.
The installation team were also first class. I have nothing but praise for the whole team at Affordable Granite

First visit by two staff to measure up accurately. Both were very polite and answered all my questions, and fully explained what they could do. Four days later two different chaps arrived to fit it all. My kitchen counter tops were awkward sized and they did a superb job. Again they were polite and clean and tidy, and explain how to look after the product. The product itself is great. And we are really pleased. Good price too. Thoroughly recommend them.

Having had my kitchen tops from them before I went back when moving to get bathroom tops and they are amazing quality marble! Naomi was great in sorting these out and the workshop staff even helped me load them safely in my car! (These were small enough to pick up—I wouldn’t suggest anyone picks up anything larger). Amazing service as before! Couldn’t be happier. I also love the fact when choosing stone they have, they will show it to you in their workshop; many places won’t let you on the factory floors.

What a transformation by the Affordable Granite team. Impeccable service from initial contact through the measuring and templating stage to the installation. Everyone we dealt was so knowledgeable, friendly, professional and helpful. The installation was easy and the kitchen left completely clean and tidy. If you need new worktops you’ll not be disappointed if you use Affordable Granite
