Worktops next to AGA

phatwa

Hi all, advice needed please

I had the worktop guy out to template up a quartz worktop (white/very light, probably Unistone Onyx or something like that). However he said that next to an AGA it might discolour due to the heat and advised against it, and suggested a darker colour or grante. Has anyone ever heard of this? I have rung around a few other companies today and they are saying they haven't heard of this before.

I was hoping that the airgap either side of the AGA might be enough, it's about 8mm. We do leave the AGA on standby all day - it's an electric/night storage type so there will be constant heat, but I didn't think it would be excessive.

Does anyone have quartz worktops next to an AGA perchance....? :money:

I can't comment on your actual question but I would ask if you think a modern looking quartz worktop will go well with a traditional looking AGA?

If it were my kitchen I would probably consider a more traditional style worktop.

Just a thought. We all have different equally valid opinions on such things. Perhaps your idea will look really nice.

In my opinion it looks fine:

Nothing to add to this thread, but that kitchen is beautiful :T

It does indeed look very nice.

You didn't say it was a white AGA. I had visualised a dark coloured AGA.


PS: I'm assuming your AGA is similar to the one in that picture which is presumably from a brochure?
