The choice of worktop material for kitchens is one of the most important decisions that residents make when remodeling or building a new kitchen. This is because the worktop has several functions in kitchen design: A base for food preparation, a table for quick meals, a divider for integrated areas and much more.

There are dozens of different materials to choose from for the worktop and kitchen cabinets. Typically, countertops use products made of various material blends such as stone, sand and marble, while cabinets use products made of wood.

You have two options when it comes to designing your kitchen: you can either order custom kitchen countertops for your space and style or customize pre-made countertops designed by kitchen designers and install them without compromising on aesthetics. Whatever your choice, we advise you to carefully consider all possible patterns and models before deciding on the best solution for your kitchen. Research thoroughly until you find the most suitable model so you don't regret the decision of a lifetime.

Natural stone worktops

The biggest advantage of natural stone worktops is that they are very robust. The popular marble and granite worktops belong to the natural stone group.

Granite countertops are made from a rock that insulates heat, is durable and comes in dozens of different colors. Although there are many color options, it is always a mixed color texture and not a solid color product.

It is perfect for long and intensive use, but may need to be polished every year as small cracks can occur with long-term use. Although marble has many advantages and is super trendy, it is a material that can stain when in contact with acidic materials. For this reason, careful treatment is required.

Natural stone worktops can be slightly more expensive than those made of other materials, but they are always beautiful and classic as well as very robust, especially when combined with wooden cabinets to create a solid image and construction. Stone fits perfectly with the aesthetic line of the worktop cabinets used in the kitchen composition in the picture.

Kitchen worktop made of Corian

Worktops made of Corian, a material consisting of 2/3 natural minerals and 1/3 acrylic and pigments, belong to the group of worktops with hard surfaces, also known as acrylic worktops.

Acrylic worktops are made from raw materials such as stone, sand and glass, which are pressed together with acrylic, and are therefore super trendy. It is very popular because it is a man-made material that is machine-made and easy to shape.

The surface is smooth and scratch resistant as it is non-porous, making it a hygienic and very robust product. It is often used in healthcare and cluttered bathrooms. These worktops offer a wide range of colors, with bright

and bright alternatives. In addition, the colors do not fade and maintenance is quite easy.

Dekton

Dektonworktops also belong to the composite group. Dekton is a hard but easy to work with material that is created by compressing different materials at high temperature and pressure.

Because this material is made by compression, it can be very thin and still offer high strength. Therefore, if you have a preference for thin materials, you should definitely use Dekton.

This is also a heat-, scratch- and abrasion-resistant material that is colorless and has a high tensile strength. It is also hygienic due to its non-porous structure. However, the natural look is less appealing than Corian, but it is cheaper than natural stones such as granite and marble.

Quartz

Quartz worktops also fall into the composite class, but are not very economical as they are made from quartz stone. There are several brands, including Silestone, a name for which the material itself is known.

The color palette is less varied than other composite materials. It is usually sold in a solid color, but can also be ordered with color combinations and variations.

It is durable and resistant to scratches and knocks but, like natural stone worktops, can be affected by highly acidic materials and chemicals. It therefore requires careful and demanding use, but is easy to maintain and clean.

Solid wood worktops

Solid wood kitchen worktops can be the best choice for elegance and naturalness. The passion for decorating with wood, which stems from our admiration for nature and our sincere trust in this millennia-old material, is also evident in our kitchen worktops.

The use of solid wood for the kitchen worktop is the most striking feature of country style. These worktops have the advantage of being robust, practical and natural, but their greatest advantage is that every design benefits from their elegant appearance.

The solid material is characterized by its timeless, textured and natural appearance. Even if it already has a worn and faded image, it still looks elegant and special! Solid wood worktops are durable, robust, affordable, clean, natural, environmentally friendly and easy to maintain.

Laminate worktops

First of all, it is important to emphasize that laminate worktops should not be confused with other laminate materials, such as plywood. Plywood is a material consisting of several thin layers of wood and is used for the production of parquet flooring, but not for the production of worktops.

Worktops made from real wood are called solid wood worktops, while laminate is a material consisting of a vinyl lacquer layer, followed by a paper or plastic layer that determines the appearance, and an HDF layer.

These worktops have smooth surfaces and are available in a wide range of colors and patterns. They can last a long time with careful use, but are not as durable as stone or composite materials. It is almost impossible to repair them if you place a hot pan on them.
