The Right Kitchen Worktops
Check out our guide on choosing the right kitchen worktops for your kitchen!
Your kitchen is the heart and soul of your home. It’s where you socialise, spend time preparing food and entertaining family and friends. The worktop is one of the most important features when it comes to building and designing the look and feel of your new kitchen so it’s important to ensure the right decision is made. Having chosen a kitchen, the worktop will be the focal point and will be the biggest talking point in any kitchen.
Laminate Worktops
You will sometimes see laminate worktops spoken about in a low budget, cost effective kitchen, but if you get the style and design right, then your kitchen will look incredible. They are a cheaper alternative to stone, but still very striking and can make your Kitchen look stunning. There are so many design options to choose from, you will be spoilt for choice!
Solid Wood Worktops
If you’re looking for natural look and feel to your kitchen, maybe you want something more traditional. A wooden worktop will provide you with a gorgeous rustic feel to your home.
Wooden worktops are popular, as they give a real homely feel to your kitchen – something that the more modern kitchen styles and designs can lack. With age, wood changes colour very subtly. You can apply different oils to change the colour yourself which can work wonders if your wooden worktop needs that little boost.
Granite Worktops
Granite is natural stone. It’s very tough and hardwearing. Its own unique patterns are what makes it so different. No two pieces are ever the same! The unrivalled finish of a granite worktop is what makes it slightly more expensive in the current market. They have extremely high heat resistance being a natural stone. However, we would always recommend using some form of protection. They are also very highly scratch resistant.
Quartz Worktops
Quartz is an engineered stone worktop. These are a very popular choice as there are many designs to suit all tastes and budgets. They are produced in batches, which means you can get more than one piece of the same material. Highly durable, non-porous and scratch resistant make quartz one of the worktops of choice for any Kitchen.
Ceramic Worktops
If you want huge choice and stain resistance worktop, then ceramic worktops are a good choice. Being easy to clean makes porcelain the worktop of choice. Porcelain, however, is susceptible to chips and breaks more easily than others. This is also one of the more expensive worktops on the market.
