White kitchen worktops

hace 7 años

Hi everyone

I am having a white gloss handleless kitchen and want to have a pure white worktop to match. I really like the quartz Silestone Blanco Zeus Extreme but it is one of the most expensive quartz worktops you can buy. A lot of places have suggested other brands which also do a pure white but I'm worried about quality and the ease with which I can get stains out (although I don't know with any certainty that the Silestone will be any good either!)

Does anyone have white quartz worktops that they would recommend?

Thanks

I think with all white quartz you have to clean spills immediately, I have just had some (beltrami) fitted and have become totally
ocd over the worktop to the point where I wish we'd gone for marble effect quartz.

We have compac Quartz white worktops & (so far) haven't had problems with keeping them clean despite having had all sorts of spills on them.

We have an open floor plan and have placed glossy white tiles ( with a hint of grey veins) through out the living, dining areas, accented with a black border. Contemporary look. Now we need to figure out the kitchen! White tiles, black granite counters n backspash, white cabinets??? I havent seen many Houzz kitchen photos w white floor tiles

Hello: There is the topic of using light colors in small and dark spaces in the larger, but ' this does not always work. The kitchens must like everything, make themselves as pleasant as they result to their users. Natural worktops, granite and wooden furniture, always give good results. It looks good, stone countertop or white quartz and oak cabinet. It is also worth a top of oak or imitation and white furniture. Colors can be used all. Preferably soft tones. Realmente todos los colores sirven para una cocina, aunque desaconsejo los colores frios. Hay que tener en cuenta, si se trata de un espacio cerrado, o si debe integrarse al living.

Dilema con color en cocina

Buen dia a todos y muchas gracias por sus consejos..me decidi por el color de la No. 1 , que es PEBBLE ..es un color entre gris y taupe muy bonito...el azul...me quede pensando lo que dijo Ernesto acerca de que te quita el hambre y pues no quiero renunciar a una buena pata de Jamon . Estan de moda los colores un poco oscuros pero la cocina no es algo que cambiamos todos los dias y pienso que entre mas neutro mas atemporal. Aqui les pongo el website https://www.howdens.com/kitchens/fitted-kitchens?p=5&style=Shaker es un lugar dedicado a diseno de cocinas, y hasta puedes hacer tus propias combinaciones con los worktops o sobres y modelos de las mismas .....hay tanta variedad que es dificil decidirse y por ello busque el consejo de ustedes los expertos... Gracias mil .

yes we do, ours is from OKITE (Italian brand) in 'Bianco carrera' is a slightly marbly white, it creates more interest than just plain white and hides any marks or shadows too:). the only stains that seem to have stayed so far are stubborn limescale. we have had it 2 years and although I wipe it well everyday, our London limescaled water has left a few shadows below washing up drying rack. my cleaning product is white vinegar for limescale, and any Detoll/bacteria spray is great for after cooking. It wipes beautifully using a microfibre cloth. It always feels cold like stone does, (which is great for pastry making) and bounces light beautifully.

Mystic Home would you mind telling me where you got your worktops from? I am looking for that exact thing at the moment and I'm getting very varying quotes that are way more than I was expecting. Do you feel it was worth the investment? Thanks!

One of the hardest and most resistant worktops in a high gloss white finish is the Dekton X-Gloss Halo. take a look at the website for full details; http://www.dekton.co.uk/xgloss/

Hi Faiza

We've used Arenastone in a few of our kitchens and love it! We normally used Bianco Venato but for a pure white they have Bianco Puro or Bianco Brilliante which look amazing and have a great durability.

A couple ideas..

mjp33: We got it thru a kitchen company I cannot recommend as they messed us up for 6 weeks getting wrong colour units or scratched ones, wrong appliances and the worktop took 6 weeks to arrive instead of 1. However the worktop independent company was based in Manchester, called 'Manchester Marble '(who also work for that kitchen company but they do private work), the worktop you see in our kitchen with installation cost us just over 2K. yes it was worth it. It adds luxury/value compare to fake, and does not react to any oils,wine or juices, unlike marble/granite. If you have any other practical Q, fire away.

Thanks so much, I was hoping you'd say that! I need to justify the cost to myself ;) Also very helpful to get the price as I think the quotes I am getting (£1,500 to £1,800) might be a bit steep for a smaller kitchen (from what I can see from your photos) with two unpolished cut outs. Thanks again.

Thanks so much for all the advice.

I have now looked into Compac Absolute Blanc (thank you Tamp75 for recommending) and the reviews are very positive. I've received a few quotes and these are coming in about £500 cheaper than the Silestone. I've ordered samples and will test them out with tea bags, red wine (its a great excuse to open a bottle ;-)) etc. I'll report back on how it goes!

Hi Faiza, I can't remember the actual colour we went for but it could poss be the same you're looking into. It looks pure white but up really close looks like it had a very fine pale grey speckle. I thought I'd ruined it the other day with red onion juice which didn't budge with a finger rub bit wiped easily away with a sponge. Have also left spilt tea on it (not for ages but longer than 10 -15 mins) beetroot juice & various tomato based sauces & all have wiped away fine. Shines up beautifully with a microfibre cloth. Haven't tested with sharp knives though! Will stick to the chopping board!

Also red wine ... Just noticed spill from bottom of the bottle we're currently working on. Wiped away easily.

Hi

We offer a huge range of quartz brands: Technistone, Quartzforms, Compac, Cimstone, Caesarstone, Silestone just to name a few. They all have websites for you to view the colour range available, also most of them have a long warranty cover for piece of mind.

Hope this is some help.

A bit of a late update I know, but just in case anyone out there is having the same dilemma I had a month ago... So I tested out all the pure white quartz samples I had and found that the Silestone and Compac came out best. Out of the two I think that Compac Blanco is the slightly brighter white (although there is very little difference). This is the one I went for in the end. The worktops have been fitted for about two weeks now and I am so pleased with them - they look beautiful! And stains and spills have so far come up without any effort - I would highly recommend!

Have a look at Corian Natural Stone range. Its the most hardwearing although it can be more expensive.
