Creating a Durable Kitchen

By: Real Stone and Tile | Posted: February 16, 2023 in Blog

It is safe to say that for many families, the kitchen embodies the heart of the home. It is no longer seen as just a functional space; it is the place where everyone gathers together, day in day out. From hectic breakfasts before rushing out to work or school, to hosting sit-down Sunday roasts with relatives (not to mention everyday domestic chores like washing the dishes and unloading the laundry), the kitchen plays a vital role in our everyday routines - and is arguably one of the most frequently visited rooms of the modern home.

With all of this in mind, when designing your new kitchen, durability is of paramount importance to ensure your dream kitchen can be loved for a lifetime.

Grout and sealant

Many of us are quick to cut back on quality when choosing the seemingly minute details of a renovation project, and instead, only search for longevity in the centrepieces of our interiors.

This is a common mistake however, as even the small details count. Opting for high-quality grout and sealant, for example, will ensure you are properly laying the foundations for a durable kitchen, which is essential considering how frequently our surfaces are exposed to heat, food debris and abrasive cleaning chemicals.

We are proud stockists of Kerakoll's high-performance grout and sealant, which promise long-term durability, and offer features including:

  • High chromatic stability
  • Anti-mould properties
  • Water repellence
  • High resistance to common acidic substances
  • Easy cleaning and maintenance

Not only will Kerakoll products endure wear and tear, but they will also ensure you won't have to compromise on your colour scheme, as with over 50 stunning tones to choose from, there is certainly a shade for every project!

Brassware

When it comes to renovating your kitchen, you only want to do it once, meaning it is necessary that all of your interior features (both big and small) will stand the test of time!

We stock a range of luxury brassware brands, including Just Taps' stunning collection of state-of-the-art designs which have been created using the highest quality materials, and will not only continue to run smoothly but will also act as a timeless accessory.

And with a variety of stylish shades to choose from including brushed brass & bronze, matt black & white, gold, classic chrome, and brushed black, it has truly never been easier to match your brassware to the rest of your interior!

Splashback Tiles

The kitchen splashback gets its name from its role, which is simply to guard your walls against steam, water, heat, and the plethora of ingredients that inevitably manage to find their way out of your pan!

For this reason, we recommend choosing a high-quality tile for your splashback in a 'low maintenance' shade that will conceal dirt and grime, making it easier to keep up the appearance of a clean kitchen.

Gradient-effect tiles instead of block colours are great at masking those pesky splashes whilst also adding character to your space. We particularly love Marazzi's 'Blue Lux' tile from the Lume collection, as it creates a mesmerising nautical feel.
