Granite Zone

Granite Zone: quartz, granite and ceramic kitchen worktops

Granite Zone is a UK supplier of stone kitchen worktops that presents itself as the country's leading supplier of kitchen worktops. The company states it has been operating for over ten years and reports more than 50,000 worktops installed across the UK. Its catalogue is organised around three material families: quartz, described as modern, durable and non-porous; granite, presented for its natural appearance; and ceramic.

Ranges, collections and finishes

Within each material the site groups surfaces into collections named Essential, Luxury, Sparkle, Traditional, Urban and Ceramic. Buyers can filter by finish, with polished and matte options, and by colour, including black, brown, cream, grey and white, as well as by tone (light, dark or medium). A separate Stock Deals section is presented as a source of savings on available slabs.

Among the named products listed are Avenza Avorio, Sunrise Vista (Calacatta Oro), Sandstream, Moon Valley, Midas Gold, Blanco Mist, Calithea, Taj Mahal, Sahara Waves, Cotswold White, Celestial Leather and Calacatta Royal, most of them quartz. The company also advertises a 3D quartz line as coming soon.

Fabrication with CNC and bridge saw equipment

The company details the machinery behind its production. It uses a GMM Brio bridge saw, chosen after visiting the Italian manufacturer, and a Denver Quota CNC work centre that performs undermount sink cut-outs, drainer grooves, recessed drainers, hot rod trivets and edge profiles. Edge polishing is carried out on a Marmo Meccanica machine, and the site states that pieces are cut on two saws and polished using computerised technology. Installation is handled by the company's own fitters.

Samples, brochures and trade accounts

Customers can order a free sample to see a surface in their own space, download a brochure and use a door matcher tool. The site describes a three-step process: viewing the ranges, booking a design consultation with an advisor and ordering a sample. Separate from the homeowner service, Granite Zone runs a trade account programme aimed at professional buyers.

Warranty, insurance and company registration

Granite Zone offers a lifetime guarantee on material against defective materials, counted from the day of installation, alongside a guarantee of up to 25 years mentioned on the homepage, and states that installations are insurance backed. The company identifies itself as Granite Zone Ltd, registered in England and Wales, and points customers to Companies House to check its registration.

Coverage and showroom

The site lists Manchester, London and Birmingham among its coverage areas and announces that its showroom is now open on Saturdays. Fabrication and service centres are based at Salmon Fields Business Village in Royton, Oldham.
