Recessed Hobs for Granite, Marble and Quartz Worktops
A great way to get a designer look without breaking the bank is to have a recessed hob (or a flush mounted hob). Recessed hobs have grown in popularity over the last few years. These can be fitted to any type of worktop (although we would recommended them to be fitted to stone worktops such as quartz, granite or marble). Recessed hobs cost a little more than a standard hob, however, we are starting to see prices fall in recent years.
When it comes to choosing a hob, by far the most important choice will be what fuel source it will run on. It used to be a relatively simple choice between gas and electric, but the introduction of induction hobs has thrown a spanner in the works. No longer seen as the preserve of the high-end kitchen, induction hobs have tumbled in price making them an ideal alternative to gas or electric hobs.
Induction hobs have been overhauling gas and electric in kitchens and we have seen hobs become lower and lower in profile. The ultimate of low profile is flush mounting them where the flange around the hob falls into a shallow recess cut into the worktop. This makes the upper heating surface fully level with the worktop around it.
As recessed hobs are becoming more and more popular, so are hobs with an integrated ventilation modules which allow you more freedom and flexibility in designing your kitchen. The integrated ventilation module extracts steam and odours at their source eliminating the need for an extractor hood.
All recent examples of recessed hob installations we have done can be seen below. We offer services for both flush fit and surface mounted hobs. If you are interested in getting a worktop installation with a recessed cutout for a hob, please contact us, we can accommodate for your needs.
Sharpstone absolutely pulled it out the bag for us. After being let down by another company last minute, the team at Sharpstone sourced the stone we wanted despite major supply issues, templated and fitted in fast. The quality and attention to detail is incredible and the overall experience was immaculate.
We’re so happy with our amazing worktops! Such a quick and easy process. Jack came out to template and within the week we had fantastic worktops. Would definitely recommend.
Sharpstone were recommended to us, and what a great recommendation! From the sale, to templating and then to the fit, the whole team were friendly, helpful and patient throughout. We are over the moon with our new worktop, what a great service. Thank You!
Provided a brilliant service and excellent quality quartz for a great price. They were very accommodating with appointments and all staff were friendly and approachable. Paul in sales was excellent and I couldn’t ask for a better service.
