Quartz worktops are made to your exact design, and so can incorporate any type of shaping to match the kitchen cabinets or create design features on your island or breakfast bar

It is increasingly popular to extend the worktops to create a breakfast bar or island overhang. This is a neat addition where you can create a bar seating area, increasing the social and practical space within the kitchen. There are some important features to consider to ensure that the worktops remain adequately supported as well as finished in the most suitable style.

Drop down end panels are a highly cost-effective way to make your kitchen stand out. Returning the quartz surfaces from the worktops down to the floor on the end of a run of cabinets or on a breakfast bar or island gives a fantastic desginer finish. Choose from different jointing finishes to create the perfect look and feel for your worktops.
Drop down end panels are decorative and not designed as structural support for your worktops. 20mm thick worktops must back onto a kitchen décor panel.

Where you have a hob or range cooker up against a wall, it is recommended that you have a splashback. The splashback is a piece of material that will typically reach the height of the extractor fan from the worktop above the cooking appliance. A splashback provides a hygienic and easy clean finsh to a high usage area of the kitchen.
If your splashback butts up against an extractor, then shaping may be required to create a perfect fit. If your extractor fits over the splashback then there may need to be small holes cut to allow for fixings. Splashbacks are 20mm standard thickness.

Wall cladding is a great way to add increased wow factor into your kitchen design. Wall cladding can be used to cover the whole area between the worktop surface and the wall cabinets, or could also go from floor to ceiling if you choose.
You can co-ordinate the colour of the cladding to match the worktop or alternatively choose a contrasting colour for added impact. Electrical socket cut outs can be specified to allow as many electrical socket connections as you require. Wall cladding is 20mm standard thickness.

Window cills typically offer the finishing touch to your kitchen project. They add the extra element of bespoke design, whilst also providing practical benefits of being easy to clean and maintain.
