How to choose perfect worktops for your kitchen
Choosing a kitchen countertop that’s right for you can be an exciting but challenging decision. There are several options available, but it is difficult to know exactly which worktop to choose. This article will walk you through a few things to consider before choosing a new countertop, the various options that are available to you, and the possible advantages and disadvantages of choosing each countertop. We will guide you through wooden, tristone, laminate, wood and glass worktops.
Before you start looking for a new kitchen worktop, consider the following:
Current facility – It is important to choose a kitchen worktop that fits well with the environment. For example, if your kitchen is rustic, it may be best to choose a wood or granite countertop.
Available space – The size of your kitchen is an important factor when choosing the prefect worktop. For example, if you have a small kitchen, installing a glass worktop can help make your kitchen feel larger due to the reflective surfaces. If you have a large family kitchen, a granite countertop is a good choice.
Wooden worktops
A wood worktop can help make a kitchen feel warm and cozy. This type of countertop offers both rustic and natural features that few other countertops can offer. If you live in a farmhouse or hut, you should really consider getting wooden surfaces. The advantages include the fact that it is very durable and that there are many different wood shapes, which means that many styling options are available. On the other hand, wood worktops can be easy to stain, so it may not be the best choice if you’re clumsy or have young children!
Glass countertops
Glass worktops are adaptable and suitable for almost all types of modern kitchens. If you want to keep your kitchen as hygienic as possible, glass is a good choice as it is very easy to clean and can be used with strong detergents. The advantages include the fact that it is scratch-resistant, water-repellent, modern and incredibly durable. If you are looking for a personal touch, glass worktops can be designed with a personalized design. One of the few disadvantages of glass worktops is the fact that occasionally some joints can be visible because the material is transparent.
Tristone worktops
The Tristone countertop is a great choice if you want to create a unique kitchen that is high quality and hygienic. These kitchen worktops are seamless, non-porous, resistant to heat and harmful germs. A negative feature of Tristone countertops is that they can be damaged by heat and sharp objects.
Granite countertops
Granite countertops are a classic and popular choice for all types of kitchens. A granite kitchen worktop is a strong and reliable choice that is both practical and stylish. Its smooth surface also makes it incredibly easy to clean. However, negatives are the fact that the surface can flake off easily, sometimes absorb stains and are prone to heat damage.
Laminate worktops
Laminate kitchen worktops are a good choice if you are looking for a stylish new kitchen on a budget. They are both affordable and stylish, which means you don’t have to sacrifice quality when saving pennies. A disadvantage of laminates, however, is that they are often prone to water damage from the wooden joints.
