White Granite Worktops for Kitchens

For a bright, sophisticated style statement, it’s difficult to beat white granite. A white granite kitchen worktop looks light and elegant, and really opens up a room, making any space seem much larger. As a natural product, every slab is unique. If you want a kitchen with genuinely individual style, look no further than white granite.

Why do kitchen designers love white granite worktops?

As kitchen designers know, white countertops combine so well with other colours used for cabinets, walls and flooring. An all-white kitchen will look dramatically light and airy and works brilliantly with pops of colour from kitchen equipment, wall panels and pictures. If all white is too purist for your tastes, you can soften the effect but stay light and airy by combining white worktops with pastel tones on cupboards and drawers.

Combining white with strong colours also works a treat – there’s a lively trend right now for white worktops and forest green cabinets and cookers. There’s also a growing taste for contemporary monochrome looks, with white worktops installed on black or very dark kitchen units.

Is white granite practical?

Granite worktops are hugely practical, and white granite is no exception. Like all granite, it is exceptionally tough and will last a lifetime with minimal maintenance. It’s easy to clean and to keep in perfect condition. The only point about white is that it’s more important to keep on top of cleaning – it’s less forgiving than darker colours. As with all of our granite worktops, we apply a thin, clear sealant before fitting which will last and last.

For cleanliness and hygiene, simply wipe down your white worktop once a day using a non-toxic cream cleanser. Widely available cleansers such as Cif, Method and Barkeepers’ Friend will do the job perfectly well without damaging the sealant or joins. After cleaning, wipe down with a damp cloth and pat dry.

Why does a white sparkle worktop sparkle?

Here’s a super-quick geology lesson which explains why white granite sparkles.

Granite is a mix of rocks and minerals which became molten millions of years ago. The molten rock rose from deep within the earth to solidify closer to the surface. During the last few thousand years, granite has been quarried for use in buildings. Because it’s formed by an entirely natural process, every piece of granite is one of a kind.

Typically, granite consists of quartz and feldspar, but also includes mica and other minerals in tiny quantities. It’s the mix which gives granite its colour – generally black, brown, pink or white – and it’s the mica which gives granite slabs a sparkle.

White Granite Worktop FAQs

Is white granite good for kitchen countertops?

Absolutely, yes. White granite gives your kitchen a light, sophisticated look and it’s remarkably hard-wearing and easy to clean. Granite can be cut by our expert team for a precise fit to virtually any shape.

What is the most popular white granite?

The most popular white granite we supply is called Cosmic White, which combines natural swirls which are predominantly white with darker veins. It looks stunning in situ, and suits kitchens of all shapes and sizes.

Does white granite turn yellow?

No, not if it is kept clean and scratch free. Yellowing will occur if dirt accumulates over a long period of time, and if the surface is used for cutting or exposed to rough treatment from pans or, worse still, scourers. As long as everyone who uses the kitchens knows the rules about daily cleaning and using trivets and cutting boards, your white granite worktop will stay white throughout its life.

Is white granite more expensive?

Our prices for white granite are in line with the prices for dark and coloured granite. In fact, our Bianco Sardo – a lovely white speckled with black – is one of the lowest cost stones we provide.

Which granite looks best with white cabinets?

White cabinets look tremendous with almost any granite worktop. The swirls and veins of granite are a stylish foil to plain white cabinets, and the choice of granite colour is ultimately a case of personal preference. We love the look of white worktops with white cabinets for a super-light and clean kitchen look, but high contrast, darker colours – even black – also work extremely well.

Is granite better than quartz?

Quartz is an excellent material for kitchen worktops, but granite matches it in virtually every respect in terms of performance. The main difference between the two stones is that quartz worktops are a manufactured mix of stone, pigment and resin. As a result, it comes with a regular distribution of quartz stone elements, so it looks very polished and smart. Granite, by contrast, is a purely natural product and its tones and veining are the result of millions of years of geological formation. No two pieces are alike, so if you’re after a totally unique look, granite should be your first choice.

Is granite still popular?

Most definitely. Granite has timeless appeal and can be part of exactly the look you want, whether that’s traditional or utterly contemporary. The fact that granite is a 100% natural product means it’s very much in demand from customers who want a more environmentally friendly centrepiece for their kitchen.
